Those familiar with contemporary Japanese art have surely come across the works of Takashi Murakami. Known for blurring the line between high and low arts, the renowned artist’s style incorporates themes from traditional and popular culture, producing works with vibrant colors and striking imagery.
Through June 1, guests at Grand Hyatt Tokyo in Roppongi Hills can immerse themselves in the world of Murakami when they book the new Takashi Murakami Flower Gallery stay package. Produced by the artist himself, the package is the first of its kind, offered exclusively in one suite featuring 14 original pieces of his signature flower motif, including a 195-centimeter golden Flower Parent and Child sculpture. From paintings, rugs and flower balls in the living room to plush stuffed animals in the bedroom, the cute, joyous expressions that fill this exclusive suite will keep guests in a state of jubilation throughout their stay.
The inspiration behind the project struck Murakami when he was staying at Hyatt hotels around the world and noticed the art adorning the facilities. Realizing the need for art in the context of hospitality, Murakami hoped to one day use his own works to enhance people’s experiences at hotels. “I am happy to have such a special opportunity to display my work in a hotel room, and make my long-held dream come true,” he said.
