North West, 10, seen in background of new pics snapping mom Kim Kardashian’s thirst traps as she wears kimono in Japan

KIM Kardashian has called in the help of her daughter for a new photoshoot.

Hulu star Kim, 42, posted a selection of sultry shots on Instagram on Tuesday, and revealed that North West, 10, was behind the pics.

In the post, Kim posed in a hotel room in traditional Japanese clothing.

The Kardashians star wore a white and silver kimono, and was captured in white socks as her sandals sat on the unmade bed.

Kim wore full glam makeup for the shoot, and had her hair piled into a messy updo secured by long silver pins.

In the first photo, Kim stared into the camera with her hand on her hip, with a bottle of fresh champagne visible in the reflection of the mirror behind her.

Next, the Skims founder laid down on her bed, pointing at the camera as her legs were revealed by her open kimono, before looking into the distance as she threw an arm behind her head for the next shot.

In the following three shots, the masterminds behind the photos were revealed.

In the mirror, North was shown standing on the far side of the room with her phone out.

The young girl was joined by her cousin Penelope Disick, 11, and friend Ryan Romulus.

The group all had their torches on to provide lighting for Kim as she posed, and quickly got in on the action by throwing peace signs as they captured themselves in the images.

Kim has just returned to Los Angeles after her luxurious vacation in Japan with North.

Alongside North, Kim shares Saint, seven; Chicago, five; and Psalm, four, with ex-husband Kanye West, 46.

This week, a fan took to Reddit with a screenshot of Kim's recent Instagram feed from Tokyo, and Kardashian critics noted how frequently North appeared in the posts, while the other kids remained absent.

Prompting the discussion, the fan wrote: "Does she not have other kids?"

In response, another Kardashian-Jenner follower wrote: "She only acknowledges the kid who gives her money. Right now, only North. It is exactly how her mother did, so why expect any different?

"Sadly, that means she will prompt her kids to fight for her love and will discard the ones who don't align with the brand."

"I hope North wasn't in her feed either. Using your kids as a prompt shouldn't be allowed. Exposing them on social media is a burden they will wear for the rest of their lives," a third person lamented.

Last week, Kim showed off some extravagant designer finds from a trip to Vintage Ecoland in Tokyo.

The star posted an Instagram Story of herself holding a pink quilted Chanel handbag with a vintage Chanel choker wrapped around the purse's handle; the exact piece worn by Margot Robbie in the Barbie movie.

Critics slammed the Skims founder's expensive taste in a Reddit thread online.

One wrote: "Flaunting her wealth. Again. Is this her only goal in life?"

Another added: "When is she not drowning in Chanel so unnecessary."

A third posted: "This is so typically Kim's style.

"In a store fully loaded with the most beautiful and elegant Chanel purses, she picks the pink, bejeweled one. I get the Barbie trend and everything, but wow..."
