You may know of Yayoi Kusami, the Japanese artist. Purely by coincidence we are going to see her exhibition in Manchester in a couple of months.

We were walking through Osaka and looked in the Louis Vuitton store windows and there she was! She is doing a collaboration with them and so she spends a few hours each day watering the plants for them.

No, not really, it is a Yayoi Kusami robot and it is incredibly lifelike. You wouldn’t imagine it wasn’t real. She looks at you, smiles, blinks, it’s quite freaky.

Watch the video, it was too big to post on the blog so just tap on the link below. It might take a minute to load but it’s worth it.

The building itself was designed to look like a traditional cargo ship
