honeyee Feature: Multicolor Spring Palette
by Eugene Kan, April 30, 2009
Louis Vuitton’s massive Harajuku store on Omotesando in Tokyo has recently been transformed to mark this season’s participation of famous Japanese pop-artist Takashi Murakami for his Multicolor Spring Palette collection. Effectively making his style of “superflat” a well-known household style of art, the installations throughout the building include many of his iconic works and characters over the years in a bright, multi-color and ultimately visually stimulating exhibit.

Damn, that looks crazy, Japanese pop art, nice! Wish i was there!
i follow this artists wrk i also like the album cover he did for kanye west
Ooooh, definitely have to check this out when I go back. Roppongi is already crawling with Murakami’s stuff, cool to see it in Harajuku now.
i’ll be honest. I don’t really understand Murakami’s work. I’m not a fan of superflat, and I think it’s only a fad. Murakami’s popularity in the U.S. is much attributed to Marc Jacob’s decision to do a collab with him for Louis Vuitton. The colors are well…stuck in spring. Don’t get me wrong, I’d trade places w/ him in a heartbeat if I knew this shit would sell. His stuff doesn’t make me go WOW! It’s really marketing stacked on top of marketing… selling the message behind the art, not the actual art itself…
i was there…that makes me cool
Japanese are just crazy. You gotta love ‘em.
very cool
