Urban Street Art Japan

Posted on July 26, 2009 by Jim Atwood in Videos | Comments

Japan is full of colorful and artistic graffiti these days. When I first arrived in Japan over 17 years ago, you didn’t encounter much street graffiti or city art, but these days tagging and character art is all over the place. In even smaller countryside cities like Nagano you find graffiti very common. This is due in part to the aging of the city and not enough new construction projects. It is also because there is a growing interest among young urban artists to do graffiti. Plus, the police in Japan do absolutely nothing about it. So it’s pretty much free reign these days for Graffiti artists to run rampant spraying their thoughts on the city walls and street buildings. As a photographer, this just means more cool and interesting subjects to photograph. The video below is a collection of Graffit shots I took in Nagano and Nagoya cities in Japan. Enjoy!

Kanji Japan by Jim Atwood Photography

Kanji Japan is a photography collection of Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji that make up the Japanese writing system. I find these writing characters to be an artform in itself and are a joy to photograph. Images were taken by Jim Atwood Photography at http://www.jimatwood.net in Nagoya, Tokyo, Yokohama, and Nagano Japan.
