In Louis Vuitton's shop at Tokyo's Omotesando, a life-size robot with the likeness of Yayoi Kusama (草間 彌生), probably Japan's most famous artist is painting her characteristic dots in the inside of the glass; the concept is the most recent phase of Kusama's collaboration with the fashion company (the first was in 2012 but as far as I can remember, robots weren't involved back then).
