Okay, here’s the blog post about my experience at the Takashi Murakami Store:
So I finally made it to the Takashi Murakami store the other day. You know, the guy with all the colorful flowers and crazy characters. I’ve been wanting to check this place out for ages, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience.
First off, getting there was a bit of a mission. I had to do some searching to find the place, but once I figured it out, it wasn’t too bad. I ended up taking the train, which was pretty convenient.
When I got to the museum, the first thing I did was grab one of those audio guide thingies. They had them in Japanese and English. I went with the English, obviously. But get this, the Japanese version was narrated by this actor named Saito Takumi. How cool is that? I mean, I don’t know who he is, but it sounded pretty important.
The audio guide was actually pretty helpful. It gave me the lowdown on all the different pieces and Murakami’s whole deal. I learned a lot, like how he got started and what his art is all about. It’s way more than just those smiling flowers, that’s for sure.
Walking around the store, I was just blown away by all the colors and the sheer size of some of the pieces. It’s one thing to see pictures online, but seeing them in person is a whole different ball game. I spent a good chunk of time just staring at this one massive painting, trying to take it all in.
- I ended up spending way more time in there than I thought I would.
- There was just so much to see and process.
- Plus, the audio guide was pretty detailed, so I felt like I had to listen to everything.
I did a loop around the whole store probably three or four times, just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I even went back to some of my favorite pieces for another look.
All in all, it was a pretty awesome experience. I definitely recommend checking out the Takashi Murakami store if you’re ever in the area. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time, because there’s a lot to take in. And grab one of those audio guides, especially if you can understand Japanese and want to hear Saito Takumi’s voice! It also would be helpful to take the train there because it will be much easier to find the place and save a lot of time.
By the way, this is a really awesome trip and I strongly suggest you guys go to the store and see by yourself!
That’s all
See you next time!
