Tokyo graffiti

Tokyo doesn’t have a huge amount of graffiti, but some areas definitely have more than others.

    Interesting, that most of the tags are in Latin script. Are those made by tourists or local people?

      That’s something I’ve always noticed. Most graffiti isn’t in Japanese, even though most of the artist are. Not sure why that is though.

    This is very cool and unexpected. I really like how the guy and his cycle totally blend in! 🙂

      Not a standard sight it has to be said. They do, but if you look closely, the bike clearly hasn’t moved for quite some time!

      Cheers. I’ve photographed the wall a few times, but finally, with the fella there it all seemed to come together. The addition of the bike helps too. And yes, it really has seen better days!
