Fuji Xerox copy on wove paper. Signed, dated and numbered lower margin. Reference : The Institut für moderne Kunst Nürnberg, Yoshitomo Nara: Lullaby Supermarket, Nürnberg, Germany, 2002 (another edition illustrated, pp. 66-71 and 194-195). Bijutsu Shuppan Sha, Yoshitomo Nara: The Complete Works Volume 1 -Paintings, Sculptures, Editions, Photographs, Tokyo, Japan, 2011 (another edition illustrated, plate E-1999-001 – E-1999-016, p. 308-309). Yoshitomo Nara’s No Fun! (from In the Floating World, 1999) is a Fuji Xerox print on wove paper that blends traditional Japanese imagery with contemporary pop sensibility. The composition centers on a stylized female figure reminiscent of ukiyo-e prints, dressed in a patterned kimono and rendered with delicate yet simplified features. Playful yet subversive elements—such as the small figure emerging from her hair and the exaggerated horn-like instrument—introduce humor and quiet tension. The bold red text “No Fun!” contrasts with the muted background, suggesting irony or emotional detachment. Produced in a limited edition of 50, the work reflects Nara’s exploration of innocence, rebellion, and cultural hybridity.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
