Tracing this flatness back to pioneers of Japanese painting in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, Murakami has developed a theory of "super-flat Japanese art" in which this legacy can be seen to be resurrected in the post-World War II rise of the Japanese cartoon cultures of manga (comic books) and anime (animation).
Superflat presents works by 19 of the most exciting artists working in Japan today in painting, photography, works on paper, video, fashion, computer animation, cartoons, performance, and sculpture.
It is this legacy of the superflat that lives on today in the cultural DNA of contemporary Japanese art and visual culture at large.

The term "superflat" was coined by Murakami to describe the simplified and increasingly two-dimensional forms that have become the staple of a hip, new visual language employed by a generation of young Japanese artists.
Whereas the tendency toward "superflatness" can be traced to the simplified aesthetic of contemporary pop culture and the Japanese cartoon culture of manga and anime, Murakami suggests a direct line of historical descent from the stylistic conventions of 17th, 18th and 19th-century Japanese prints, among other historical sources.
Superflat is an exhibition that began small-in Parco Gallery, Tokyo and subsequently Nagoya-then grew larger as Takashi Murakami reconstituted it for the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art and its selected tour: the Walker Art Gallery in Minneapolis and the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle.

Superflat is a postmodern art movement influenced by manga and anime.
It is intended as an analysis of post-war Japanese culture through the eyes of the otaku subculture.
In addition, some animators within anime and some manga-ka are considered Superflat, especially Koji Morimoto and much of the output of his animation studio Studio 4°C and the work of Hitoshi Tomizawa, author of Alien 9 and Milk Closet.

 Superflat Japanese Postmodernity
Aum Shinrikyo, the terrorist cult that scattered poison gas in Tokyo metros in 1995, is known for their eschatological dogmas deeply influenced by 1970s' and 1980s' animes and gathering a broad sympathy from otaku generation even after their terrorism.
Murakami himself belongs to the first otaku generation, which consists of those who are born around 1960 (Murakami was born in 1962), and he admits publicly that his superflat style was established based on both Japanese premodern art tradition and postmodern otaku products.
I think the understanding of those factors is essential to understand the cultural position of the superflat and the structure of Japanese postmodernity.

 Superflat: Kitty Hauser on fan fare ArtForum - Find Articles
Superflat (the two words of the Japanese catalogue became one Google-friendly neologism on arrival in America) was a branded art phenomenon designed primarily for Western audiences and markets at a time when the Japanese contemporary art market had been decimated by the bursting of the economic bubble.
"Superflat" was the name given by Murakami to a sensibility he discerned in Japanese culture, past and present, characterized, by a lack of perspective, an extreme planarity, and an interest in particular kinds of movement, expressed graphically.
Murakami's writings on superflat charmingly--and cleverly--position it within a history of art in which it is the successor to both Japanese visual traditions and Western Pop art, while also displaying an insider's knowledge of so-called otaku subcultures.

"Superflat" is a term invented by Takashi Murakami to describe the linear and planar quality of his artwork, as well as their societal symbolism.
The "super" in superflat adds emphasis to the word, and it means that something is flatter than flat, it is super flat.
But since it is Murakami's goal as an artist to reflect the commercialization and "superflatness" of Japanese culture and the anime/otaku culture that has become a major part of it, there is meaning behind superflat sculptures, drawings, and paintings, thereby making them art and not exactly like the anime characters they portray.

This 'here and now' attitude -- call it superflat, call it sublunary, or call it Zen -- is constantly being challenged by evangelism on the part of foreigners, who all have some sort of transcendental system to sell.
Superflat is paradoxical because it's a sort of immanent transcendentalism which denies all transcendence.

 Superflat : Tomísimo
Superflat is composed of about one-half essays, mostly by Murakami, and one-half pictures of art and pop culture images.
Murakami's "Superflat" is an essay (in both visual and verbal terms) in which he ties current, commercially viable art production (manga, anime, and Neo Pop) to its roots in the late Edo period paintings of artists like Ito Jakuchu and Katsushika Hokusai.
He espouses the aesthetic similarities (the interest in decoration and the emphasis on the flatness of the picture plane) as well as the commercial similarities (these earlier artists were print makers and produced large runs of their work for sale to the general public).

"Superflat," a fascinating traveling exhibit curated by artist Takashi Murakami (at Walker Art Center through October 14), makes a case for modern manga's significance by placing it in an artistic genealogy stretching back to Hokusai.
In his "Superflat Manifesto," included in the exhibit catalog, he explains that the show's title refers not only to aesthetic flatness--the extreme two-dimensionality of cartoons--but also to the absence of hierarchy dividing art, advertising, porn, and entertainment.
And the "Superflat" pieces that seem to best demonstrate the continuity of the superflat aesthetic are, in fact, only peripherally linked to manga and anime.
