@Drew Taylor nope, not true at all.... greed is frowned upon in Japanese society, yes, but is not inherently associated with wealth unless it gets in the way of family, cultural, communal, social life etc (which are far more important to us than wealth). So when one only pursues and obsesses over wealth at the expense of family or community, that is when it turns to greed. That said, individualism is praised here. I think this title of this video is very misleading -- perhaps it pertains to some of the elder traditionalists, but certainly not the majority. we study him in artistry. he is seen as an idol to an extent!

By coincidence I worked with 2 of his former assistants on a video shoot in Tokyo a few weeks ago. Their description was not flattering. He told one of them to kill themselves in front of a room full of people because he showed up late to a meeting and they listed off a litany of other abusive behaviors like calling at all hours of the night to rant about this or that. Maybe that’s why he’s hated. I mean artists are often complicated people but I don’t think their art is more important than their obligation to be decent humans.

Not easy to break the boundaries. But i feel like over the past 2 decades things have started to change at an accelerated rate, which seems to bring in fresh air.

He's cool and talented but most artist doesn't know how to handle their finances and ended up in bankruptcy. An artist can't think as a businessman and I've seen businesses go down the drain solely handled by an artist. The best approach is that he should have a partner who handles the business management aspect and he handles the creative side. Hope he's on the road to recovery from bankruptcy and watch what he spends on.

It might be different in the US, but in Japan liking yaoi/being fujoshi absolutely is usually kept a secret. Women can often be well into their 30s-40s, have a grueling office job and a family, and secretly be fujoshi on the internet. They attend comic markets to sell their yaoi comics and will wear masks to stay anonymous as to not get found out by their job or coworkers. Generally, being an otaku (nerd) is something they hide or even are ashamed of.

His statues are prime example: the Lonesome Cowboy questions the sexuality of Japanese fan or Otaku. Takeshi Murakami's arts blend low and high art, traditional and modern art.
