The title of this work is "Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd." The title of this painting series is Lots, Lots of Kaikai and Kiki. Kaikai Kiki is the name of the company I run, and it comes from the phrase “kaikai kiki,” which was used to praise artist Kanō Eitoku. Kano School, a group of painters particularly skilled in architectural and decorative arts, rose around 500 years ago and thrived for over 400 years. Eitoku was one of the founders and arguably one of the most talented in the history of the group. One of his followers used the phrase, which meant “so outlandish it goes beyond supreme beauty,” to praise this master.
So I used this phrase for my company name in the hope of establishing a similar group of creators of beauty, and the white Kaikai and the pink Kiki are the characters embodying the phrase.
Their various moods and emotions all reflect the facial expressions of people working at this company; as I draw these characters, I find myself inevitably empathizing with them.

And it was in Professor Nobuo Tsuji’s book, Lineage of Eccentrics, that I learned the phrase “kaikai kiki”.
