Gritty graffiti

Somebody’s name or a an oversized male member daubed on the side of one’s home is far from ideal, but this unusual bit of Tokyo graffiti arguably adds a bit of character to a rather grey and grim concrete construction.

    I’ve noticed more and more graffiti in Tokyo these days. I could do without it, artistic or not. There’s a lot of cholo-style tagging too. As a Los Angeles native, I know where this is headed. Japan cities, even Kyoto, are really ugly, and graffiti is not what’s needed to solve that problem.
