Kitsch refers to art or other objects that appeal to popular or uncultivated taste because they are garish or overly sentimental. Takashi Murakami's work, including "Kiki," often incorporates elements of pop culture, which can be considered kitsch due to its mass appeal and vibrant, exaggerated aesthetics. The Smithsonian Institution's 150th Anniversary Float, designed for a celebratory context, likely includes elements that are designed to appeal broadly, which can also be considered kitsch. Ando or Utagawa Hiroshige's works, on the other hand, are traditional Japanese woodblock prints known for their historical and cultural significance, rather than kitsch elements.
