Graffiti Japan

Mens graffiti i Japan deler mange av de samme egenskapene som resten av verden, gjør distinkte kulturelle påvirkninger fra Japan kunstformen til noe helt unikt. Med inspirasjon av alt fra Kanji til populære animetegn gjør at det japansk graffitiutrykket får et særpreg som ikke ligner noe annet urbant kunstutrykk.

Fra forlaget
Japan has always been a breeding ground for innovative approaches to Western traditions, such as cinema and baseball. Another example includes graffiti, which covers the buildings and walls of Japans largest cities, as well as the more rural areas. While graffiti in Japan shares many of the same characteristics with examples from other parts of the world, distinct cultural aspects of Japan, from Kanji to popular anime characters, set Japanese graffiti apart. Tokyo-based photographer Remo Camerota has captured these culturally unique aspects of Japanese graffiti, and in doing so has befriended some of the countrys major graffiti artists. Colorful spreads and intimate interviews provide a detailed examination of Japanese graffiti, a subject that has yet to dominate the graffiti book market.
