    That's so cool! I wouldn't have expected to like it as much as I do - colorful and imaginative.

    Interesting, but not something I would go out of my way to see. Thanks for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme.

    I live in Los Angeles and there are few of Murakami's pieces at the Broad in downtown LA. It's very lively.
