16 May 2024 Tokyo: Yayoi Kusama Museum Home of Large Pumpkins

 


The works by this artist have been following us throughout our time in Japan.  We saw pumpkins while we were at Naoshima Island and at other museums in Japan.  So it was just reasonable that we would visit her here in Tokyo.  


Some public art at the transfer station


From the F line to the M line


Another nice mural at the final station


A huge bell that seems out of place in the concrete building


Does this boat float?


Dots in the bathroom


Does it float your boat?


Dots and mirrors in the elevator!


Weeee!


This pumpkin gets a spot outdoors on the 5th floor


I see me!


A different take on the pumpkins as seen in a book at the museum


Nice layout of the interior


Fritz seen in reflection


Signed by Yayoi


A darkened room where we only had two minutes


Mirrors all around


The two minutes went by super fast


Very fun


"Every Day I Pray for Love"  was the name of many of her paintings


The artist with her iconic red hair


I was drawn to this one because it was a maze for the girl and her dog


Yes, I can see the influence of the mushrooms on the art


A nice drink


We are not in Kansas anymore


Love the hat and the watch, this is one stylish beast


The building is stylish as well


A very modern construction


It could use some polka dots!


Mascot for a dry cleaners


More art at the station


A very large piece


A advertisement for Octoberfest in May?


Stopped in a local bakery on the way home


It has been 1 year and 346 days since we began our Migration
