"The Studio Visit"

1. No one is ever late in Japan. Irrelevant yet interesting. pg. 187
2. Documenting every layer of the painting. pg 188
3. 6 of the 7 artist supported by Kaikai Kiki are women. pg.196
4. No surprises there. Murakami loves Warhol. pg.199
5. Murakami's self portrait. pg. 214

Its interesting to see art as an enterprise. Murakami's studio takes the romance out the whole idea of being in the studio as thoughtful creatures, and shows how tedious and draining being in the studio is.
