Compared to California where I live Japan has practically no graffiti. The cleanliness of its major cities is one of the things I really appreciate when going there.
This one looks more like street art than graffiti to me. Unfortunately, it’s timely in the context of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Stay safe and well. Thanks for another great photo.
Yeah, the only place that has a noticeable amount of graffiti and/or street art is Shibuya, although last time I passed through there didn’t seem to be as much as there used to be.
Cheers. This one though was outside Tokyo which made it a bit more special, and I totally agree, very fitting in the current climate.
Next time I go to Tokyo (who knows when I might be allowed?) I will go to Shibuya to look for graffiti. I used to live in Sangubashi, which is about halfway between Shinjuku and Shibuya. So I used to hang out in both places quite a bit.

Hehe I guess that made him walk a little faster! 😉
Lee says
Quite possibly, although more than likely me standing there with a camera made him hurry along even more!

I’m surprised to see graffiti in Japan. I don’t like how it looks but it’s an interesting photo!
Lee says
Cheers. There’s not a huge amount, but at the same time probably more than you’d expect.
