- On May 15, 2025, Japanese artist Takashi Murakami launched the exhibition 'Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow' showcasing over 100 works in a prominent museum located in Cleveland.
- The exhibit updates a prior showing in Los Angeles and reflects Murakami’s response to trauma through the lens of Japanese history including Hiroshima, the 2011 earthquake, and COVID-19.
- Notable pieces include a sculpture titled Pom and Me depicting Murakami and his dog half in anatomical form and a walk-through replica of the Yumedono building with four new paintings created between 2023 and 2025.
- Murakami told The Associated Press he layered light themes with trauma, stating 'this is okay because this is one of my tricks,' while curator Ed Schad noted the portraits reveal insights about society and culture.
- The paid exhibition, open through the beginning of September 2025, invites guests to engage with themes of cultural trauma depicted in vivid portraits that Murakami carefully crafted, drawing from his Japanese heritage and experiences living in the West.
