- In order to maximize his impact and pursue a number of interests Murakami also runs a company- Kaikai Kiki Co. Ltd. and he was responsible for a lot of the Louis Vuitton designs. He really isn't interested in the company, but needs it as a means to make more and more and bigger and bigger pieces.
-Murakami has painting assistants that he oversees. They do the painting and document the layers for him to see. But he does have a desire for these assistants to atleast be able to launch their own careers
-He has another studio in New York linked to his studio in Japan by iChat- both similar: tidy, white walled, and silent
-Murakami says his weak point is he can't work on just one thing at a time. He gets bored doing only one project. I think that's true of many artists.
- "Anywhere, anytime." Murakami does not have a preferred thinking space or a "heart" of his studio. A studio is supposed to be a site of intense contemplation, but Murakami insists he can do that anywhere.
-Murakami has no real home, just a bed in his studios. He works long hours all week and just naps. He is really into his work.
