In his latest venture for his own i am OTHER, Pharrell stopped by the studio of none other than longtime collaborator Takashi Murakami. While there, Pharrell got a first-hand look look at Murakami’s upcoming “The 500 Arhats,” trying on some of Murakami’s own wearable designs before taking a look at the massive 100-meter painting — which was originally inspired by the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan back in 2011 and presented to Qatar in gratitude for their help during the aftermath.
