KAWS is a contemporary artist who has become a household name among children and adults alike through his work in graffiti, his collaborations with the Original Fake® apparel brand, and now with UNIQLO. His huge artwork is coming to Japan.
KAWS: HOLIDAY" is a project that began in 2018 with the concept of "traveling around the world" as a giant artwork of "COMPANION," a character created by KAWS. Following Seoul, Taipei, and Hong Kong, the fourth destination chosen was one of Japan's World Heritage sites, Mt.
Seoul (in South Korea)
Taipei
Hong Kong (China)
The largest artwork in the history of KAWS, measuring 40 meters in length and lying relaxed at the foot of Mt. Fuji, a symbol of Japan's natural beauty, is a magical sight that is definitely worth seeing.
