One of the best known artists of our times, Takashi Murakami, teamed up with Japan’s clothing
The founding of Kaikai Kiki represented a great opportunity for fledging artists to develop under the watchful eye of one pop culture’s most popular artists, Takashi Murakami. An opening party was held to commemorate both Kaikai Kiki’s roster of artists as well as the commencement of their new gallery in Roppongi’s Rolling Stones Cafe. An English-translated account of the night can be seen via Google Translate.

Originally started in 2001, Kaikai Kiki was the formation of a platform for a series of artists to gain exposure for new artists and further promote the exploits of established artists. Aside from events, they have made their artwork more easily accessible with tangible goods such as prints, toys and accessories. A new batch of prints have recently been released at the hnyee.store.
Japanese artist Takashi Murakami founded the art-based company Kaikai Kiki in 1996 to provide fellow artists with a vehicle for innovation and development. A by-product of this company were different forms of art made available in more tangible and consumer friendly formats such as pins, cushions, towels and other household items.
