Yoshitomo Nara was born in 1959 in the city of Hirosaki in Aomori Prefecture and received an MFA from the Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music in 1987. In 1988 he moved to Germany, where he attended the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and based himself for a time in Köln before returning to Japan in 2000. Since the late 1990s his works have been shown widely throughout Japan, Asia, Europe, and North America.
