Matazo Kayama's snow, moon and cherry blossom on a 535i.
Japanese artist Matazo Kayama decorated a 535i using traditional techniques of kirikane (cut gold leaf) and airbrushing, evoking the Japanese aesthetic of setsugekka - snow, moon and flowers. The silver, gold and blue surface shimmers like a lacquered screen. It was the first Art Car by a Japanese artist.
