Takashimaya in Shinjuku / 新宿高島屋

LOUIS VUITTON & Yayoi Kusama, a photo by fumika yamamoto on Flickr.

I went to Takashimaya in Shinjuku with my daughter yesterday. When I walked in front of LOUIS VUITTON's store, I saw Yayoki Kusama's installation. I remember LV collaborating with Takeshi Murakami, but now they are collaborating with Kusama.
Looking at her installation made me to think that I wish I were smaller or this installation was bigger, so I get to experience Kusama's world. I like how her installation can give me this weird and twisted emotion that she has experienced in her life.

３年ぶりくらいに新宿高島屋に行った。高島屋に入っているルイスヴィトンで草間彌生の作品を発見。久しぶりに彼女の作品を見たなぁ～もっと大きかったらもっと面白いんだろうなぁと感じた。

Not only art, but also I got to experience a nursery place at Takashimaya this time. Because Takashimaya is a big department store, their nursery place was bigger than the one at Odakyu department store. This is a diaper changing table!

今回の高島屋ではアートだけではなくもちろん興味のあった赤ちゃん休憩室も見てきました。高島屋は小田急デパートよりも広いから赤ちゃん休憩室も広かった。

Unlike Odakyu department store, I liked how they have an individual breastfeeding room. There were 2 chairs and 1 small table in the room.

小田急とは違って個室の授乳室もあってリラックスして授乳ができた。娘も授乳に集中してくれたので良かった～

Also there was a kitchen with a microwave, so people can make some milk for their baby.

電子レンジ付のキッチンまであって赤ちゃんに優しいデパートね～と感心。

There was a scale for a baby. Mia weighted about 6.8 kg. She keeps growing so fast!

なんと赤ちゃん用の体重計もあってびっくり。娘の体重を量ってみたらなんと6.8ｋｇ。娘の成長の早さにまたまたびっくりした。
