what's 108 Flowers Revised NFT Collection?
Takashi Murakami's 108 Flowers Revised is an NFT collection inspired by his iconic Superflat art style, featuring smiling flowers in bold colors drawn from Japanese pop culture, anime, and consumerism. Launched as digital collectible trading cards on the Base blockchain, the project bridges traditional fine art with blockchain technology, allowing users to mint packs containing cards of varying rarities. Each pack reveals individual cards that collectors can trade or complete sets from, emphasizing accessibility for both crypto newcomers and art enthusiasts through simple minting via the Base app. The collection builds on Murakami's earlier physical trading cards and NFT ventures, such as the original Murakami.Flowers series on Ethereum. By deploying on Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network, it leverages low-cost transactions and seamless integration with Coinbase's ecosystem, including Onchain Summer events. Minting occurs directly in-app without requiring prior crypto experience, promoting broader adoption of onchain art. Secondary trading happens on platforms like Magic Eden, where users can acquire specific cards to build full sets. This project highlights Murakami's ongoing exploration of NFTs, following collaborations with brands like Louis Vuitton and NFT initiatives with RTFKT, positioning 108 Flowers Revised as a key milestone in digital art collectibles.
