He has been known with works of collage figures and dance performances, as well as stage designs and illustrations for children books. The exhibition survays not only those rare works of MURAYAMA made by himself, but also works of Kandinsky and Klee, those who influenced MURAYAMA while his stay in Berlin, and other colleages, such as WADACHI Tomoo and NAGANO Yoshimitsu.
