Jul 12, 2013 Global Street Art – Tokyo
This new video from LA’s own MOCAtv, by Shinsuke Tatsukawa, combines two loves of mine; looking at street art, and visiting Japan. If you’ve never had the opportunity to visit Japan, this video gives you a great snapshot of life in the unique island nation, and also reveals just how incredible of a street art mecca Tokyo has become over recent years. A quick walk around neighborhoods like Harajuku, Shinjuku, and Shibuya usually reveals some work by world famous street artists like Shepard Fairey and Space Invader. However, the video focuses more on the work of some well-known street artists who live and work in Japan, including ESOW, AIKO, KAMI & SASU aka HITOTZUKI, whose work I really admire. Enjoy.
