The work is being developed with the number 108 as the keyword; a combination of 108 backgrounds and flower colors make up a field, and there are 108 fields. Each field has 108 flower images, resulting in 11,664 flower images in total. The number 108 is a reference to bonnō, or earthly temptations.
Whitelist will mainly consist of the holders of RTFKT’s Clone X with Murakami Drip, of which there are 3,000. In addition, there will be Murakami-related Whitelist of 500, as well as Friends & Family. I plan to set aside 4,000 for the Whitelist and Friends & Family together. (The unclaimed quantity after the Whitelist and Friends & Family distributions will be offered through Public Sale.) 6,751 will subsequently be offered through Public Sale, which will be a lottery.
Then comes the Lucky 727 Proof, 727 being Takashi Murakami’s lucky number. After that, there are 78 in the Zen Number Proof, and the Bonnō Proof has 108 for the number of earthly temptations. I intend to release these last two one day, when the time is ripe.
The purchase will be limited to one flower per MetaMask wallet. At the time of the release, each will be distributed as a “seed,” which can be evolved into (redeemed as) a flower at the time of Reveal after the Public Sale. There is no knowing which of the 11,664, individually hand-generated flowers your seed will turn into until the time of Reveal.
