Kaikai and Kiki Kokeshi dolls set by Takashi Murakami Explore Mondoir Collection Medium: Wood Dimensions: 8.9 x 7.6 cm Year: 2020 Price on request Status: available Why collect this work?A repeated doll format makes small facial and costume changes carry most of the difference between these paired figures. Murakami constructs Kaikai and Kiki from a shared vocabulary of rounded bodies, projecting ears and wide mouths. Character is established through variation rather than wholly separate forms.In the photograph, one figure appears pale with two tall extensions, while the red figure has circular ears, unequal eyes, fangs and a forehead spiral. Their aligned scale and frontal pose make these differences immediately comparable.The catalogue identifies wood as the medium and records dimensions of 8.9 by 7.6 cm. Compact volumes give the set a sculptural silhouette, while dark outlines make the faces read with graphic clarity.The set provides a concise case for examining seriality in small sculpture: a stable body type is repeated, but selected alterations prevent the pair from collapsing into duplicates.
