Takashi Murakami – Keba Keba

A children’s book by the Japanese artist Takashi Murakami!

A children’s book illustrated by Takashi Murakami, based on a story by the Japanese musician Yujin Kitagawa. Suitable for adults too!

Takashi Murakami was born in Tokyo (Japan) in 1962 and is one of Japan’s most popular contemporary artists. His work is strongly influenced by Japanese subculture; he himself describes his style as ‘Superflat’. He first came to the attention of a Western audience through his designs for the luggage manufacturer Louis Vuitton, and to a younger generation through his album covers for Kanye West. However, it is precisely these works, which straddle the worlds of art, design and pop culture, that have also led to his artistic output being heavily scrutinised in some quarters.
