Yoshitomo Nara’s 2002 “Too Young To Die” Ashtray/Dish. The item has only had one owner / never used and remains in the original box. It is in perfect condition with no cracks or chips.

In the early 2000s, Nara became associated with an avant-garde group of Japanese artists known as Superflat, which also included Takashi Murakami and Chiho Aoshima. These artists became known for their use of bright colors, patterns, and Japanese cartoon motifs to examine hyper-consumerism, industrialization, and globalization in contemporary culture.
