Kim, 42, captioned the post: “All North wanted was to meet @takashipom on our trip to Japan!”
Takashi Murakami, 61, is a contemporary artist who is the mind behind the Superflat movement and who has completed famous works such as 727 (1996) and Supernova (1999).
The artist also designed the cover artwork for Kanye West’s 2007 album Graduation and Kanye’s 2018 collaboration with rapper Kid Cudi, Kids See Ghosts.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum continued: “Thank you Murakami for opening up your creative bubble for us and bringing some of your magic to the kids.”
She then jokingly added: “It would have been nice if they weren’t fighting LOL and we got a decent picture but hey?!”
The series of photos showcased Kim, North, nine, Saint, seven, Chicago, five, and Psalm, three, visiting Murakami’s art studio.
A pair of photos captured the family standing in front of a wall-sized mural.
The first snapshot featured Saint crying on the ground while his family and Murakami ignored his meltdown.
The second pic showed North standing beside her favorite artist, along with Kim and her two youngest siblings, while a grumpy Saint stands off to the side with his arms crossed.
Another snap showed the nine-year-old and Murakami posing beside one of the artist’s famous pieces while the fourth photo in the set featured the pair standing inside his workshop.
A final group photo captured the entire group, Penelope Disick, 10, and Stephanie Shepherd included, standing in front of another giant mural.
North took centerstage as she stood next to Murakami and her cousin, while mom Kim took a more supporting role as she stood to the side with the rest of her children.
NOTHING LIKE FAMILY
Earlier this week, Kim Kardashian captured a heart-to-heart moment between her daughter and her niece Penelope.
North cuddled her big cousin Penelope in the photos Kim shared of them on her Instagram account on Tuesday.
The snaps showed Penelope laying back against North as she was positioned between her legs as North sat up in the car they were in.
Each of the pics in the carousel post was practically identical; however, there was one distinguishable trait.
In one of the snaps, Penelope wore a confused look on her face while she looked at something on the phone that North held in her hand.
Meanwhile, in the other snap, Penelope looked straight-faced while North maintained her smile as they continued looking at the phone.
The sisterly-like bond between the famous cousins was evident and commented on by the second-oldest Kardashian sister.
Kim captioned the snaps of North and Penelope: “Besties.”
Fans were so moved by Kim’s post that they shared their appreciation for the preteens’ familial friendship in her comment section.
“Nothing like cousin love,” one fan expressed.
Another added: “My cousin was literally my best friend..the bond is strong.”
A third person cosigned: “Cousin love is the best love so cute!”
Other fans just praised how cute the cousins appeared together.
One fan called North and Penelope the “sweetest duo.”
Another person dubbed them the “cutest besties.”
Someone else compared their relationship to Kim’s relationship with her sisters Khloe, 38, and Kourtney, 43.
Even Khloe’s BFF Khadijah Haqq McCray, 40, labeled Penelope and North the new Kourtney and Kim.
NORTH & P TAKE JAPAN
Kim’s latest pics of North and Penelope appear to have been taken during their latest vacation in Japan.
Kim recently posted a selection of pics from her luxury time away with her children and her niece Penelope.
Penelope was featured in three pics from the Instagram drop, which her aunt captioned: “More from Japan.”
In the first photo, Penelope posed next to her cousin, North, and their friend Ryan.
The trio stood outside a gas station as they tucked into mini cups of ice cream.
While North and family friend Ryan looked matchy with their fun hair and similar outfits, Penelope stayed more low-key in a Kiss band shirt and baggy blue jeans.
The following snap showed the girls inside the store, with all three looking excited as they browsed the aisles of various goods.
The final photo of Kourtney’s daughter was set outside the store again, with the three preteens chatting away happily.
Notably, Kim didn’t include Penelope in a Japan post from last week.
While all four of Kim’s children and their companion Ryan were posted, Penelope stayed out of the pics amid rumors of tension between her mom and aunt.
