Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami meet again in Kyoto

Through the iconic sculpture ‘Flower Parent and Child’ created in collaboration in 2020.

The Kyocera Art Museum in Kyoto (Japan) will host until 1 September 2024 an extensive exhibition celebrating the impeccable career of the Japanese artist in a tour of more than 170 works including the recent Rakuchū-Rakugai-zu Byōbu: Iwasa Matabei RIP: a series of artistic pieces based on the theme of the four deities symbolising the four cardinal points; and other representative works.

Just outside the museum, floating in the lake that surrounds the building, stands the impressive 13-metre-high sculpture made in collaboration with Louis Vuitton. Designed to provide a “symbol of hope” during the crisis caused by the COVID pandemic, Murakami‘s endearing flower is accompanied by a small version of herself, representing her son, on a huge multicoloured monogrammed boot.
