Takashi Murakami: Skateboard Decks

For Takashi Murakami—a street artist with deep ties to skate and hip-hop culture—embracing the skateboard deck as a medium for his iconic designs was an obvious choice. In editioned and non-editioned runs, Murakami splashes his flowers and kawaii characters across wooden skate decks to create bold, collectible design objects, and has even collaborated with skatewear brands like Supreme to produce custom, highly desired decks.
