Life+Times Presents: Takashi Murakami, A Retrospective

Miss ko2 (Project ko2) (1997)

“The Japanese world of bishojo figures represents the desire of otaku to create real-world versions of anime/manga idols and the unique new aesthetic and eroticism that was born from this desire. In creating life-sized versions of these figures, I have sought to offer up a wholly new approach to human sculpture. “Miss ko2″ was the first of that new form.”
