!! This artwork contains examples of:
* AmazingTechnicolorWorld: The old men's clothes look as if someone spilled a batch of rainbow inks all over them and the background is a red, theatre-like curtain.
* ThePlace: The painting is named ''Isle of the Dead'', where the corrupted arhats live.
* {{Postmodernism}}: Normally, the arhats are Buddhist monks helping out suffering people. However, the Tōhoku natural disasters have caused the [[WorldGoneMad world to go so mad]], the arhats have turned into nightmarish, trippy creatures.
* SeniorCreep: So many old men with extra or deformed body parts that stare right at the viewer's soul.
* WingdingEyes: One of the larger monks on the right side has the most pronounced amount of swirls in its eyes with black sclera.
* WorldGoneMad: While all of the arhats are exaggerated to great absurdity, some of them take it a few horizon lines too far, be it one of the largest ones sporting [[ExtraEyes eight-eyes]], one being literally black-skinned with a tree growing out of its head and various, arguably mythical animals among them.
* TheXOfY: The title is fashioned this way: The Isle (x) of the Dead (y).
