Description
12-inch Vinyl Record / Includes 3 Original Trading Cards (20 varieties in total)
The enigmatic song title “Rrose Sélavy, Yet It Is Always Others Who Die – MNNK MADE” originates from the collaborative fashion label created by Takashi Murakami and Yuta Hosokawa, inspired by Marcel Duchamp—widely regarded as the father of contemporary art. (“Rrose Sélavy” was Duchamp’s famous female alter ego, while “It is always others who die” is the epitaph on Duchamp’s tombstone.)
Hosokawa’s renowned brand READYMADE also draws its name directly from Duchamp’s groundbreaking concept of the “readymade,” first embodied by his iconic urinal work titled Fountain, which fundamentally transformed the course of modern art. The vinyl jacket reinterprets this conceptual lineage, featuring new artwork by Murakami that reimagines Duchamp’s masterpieces and connects the history of contemporary art to this unique musical project.
The release includes three randomly inserted trading cards out of 20 total designs, with a very rare chance of finding a double-signed card autographed by both JP THE WAVY and Takashi Murakami, each individually numbered (limited to only 5 cards).
JP THE WAVY—who has long admired Hosokawa’s READYMADE—brings a refined musical sensibility to the project. Hosokawa continues to explore fashion through inspiration drawn from Duchamp’s conceptual readymades. Murakami, working as an artist along the same historical trajectory that began with Duchamp, merges these worlds through his art.
This project emerges at the intersection where music, fashion, and art converge—linking past and present through a complex and compelling dialogue.
We invite you to hold this record in your hands and immerse yourself in this one‑of‑a‑kind collaboration.
