Ha hah. Street art? Don't you mean vandalism?

Thankfully, there is not much graffiti in Tokyo in comparison to London, NYC, etc. One thing that really pissed me off is that most of the tags I saw in Tokyo were from artists such as Neckface, etc. If the Japanese are respectful enough to not fuck up their cities with shitty spray-paint then I have no idea where foreign "artists" get the idea that it is OK to do so.

yeah didn't see much of any local graf at tokyo- it was all foreign guys - neckface, andre, and all of those kids...
