Thanks Andrea, skulls are cliche in contemporary art, but I remember as a kid I played a lot with anatomical books of my doctor father, it's kind of memory of first encounters with huge books...
... sure it's very Japanese in Murakami case, every image of samurai (for example) looks like mask or skull and Kabuki theatre could be another example ... Murakami as master of cliches, very interesting statement ...

Nice drawings! The skulls are very dark but looking good on that paper.

Thus the suitability of the big sheets of paper. First memories of books are always interesting.
Murakami does a lot of cliche skulls! (he does a lot of cliche everything.)
