"Takashi Murakami x Liquem Collection 2024 party"
May 31, 2024, "Takashi Murakami x Liquem Collection
"2024 party" was held at Tonari no Zingaro and Jun-Kissa Zingaro in Nakano Broadway.
Liquem has been involved in producing Takashi Murakami's new work, which will be released by Kaikai Kiki.
The venue was decorated in pink to evoke the new accessories, and special food and drinks were served. Takashi Murakami also made an appearance, making for a very lively party.
After four years, the event is finally here
The event was planned four years ago.
This was planned as part of the first collaboration announced in 2020, but the unprecedented pandemic affected the entire world, making it impossible to hold events, and it was forced to be canceled.
As time passed, we received an offer to create new accessories by Takashi Murakami as merchandise for the "Murakami Takashi: Mononoke Kyoto" exhibition currently being held at the Kyocera Museum of Art in Kyoto, and we decided to produce and release them as a continuation of our previous collaboration.
Kaikai Kiki's producer, Kasahara, came up with the idea, saying, "Although the publisher has shifted from Liquem to Kaikai Kiki, it is still a collaboration, so let's make the event happen this time," and the event was finally made a reality, sponsored by Kaikai Kiki Ltd.
Special decorations at Tonari no Zingaro
The venue was Tonari no Takashi Murakami's only shop in the world where you can buy his goods.
Zingaro and Pure Coffee Shop Zingaro.
Tonari no Zingaro had a special pink kiosk made just for this party, a special space created by the creativity of Kaikai Kiki staff.
In addition, collaborative accessories were beautifully displayed in the store's showcases.
