Graffiti Art

It’s not like it’s everyday you get to see beautiful pieces of art as you walk past a wall. To others it may be vandalism, to me, i think graffiti when done tastefully is art that can brighten up any place. And I have seen some beautiful things done to some walls, let me tell you. And I am quite glad that in Tokyo, the gov is pretty open about graffiti art :)

Graffiti art came to Japan during the early 90’s when the skateboarding and hip hop culture was starting to boom. And from there, the following just exponentially increased as more and more people appreciate the art.
