Pop Japan

Japanese street art is uncommon compared to other countries in Asia, Europe, and America. But in Tokyo, the tradition of art on the streets is slowly thriving through live painting.

Live painting is an event where works are created before an audience as they are accompanied by music. This is usually done in bars, clubs, and now, on the streets. Live painting is a way for street artists to show off their skills. Places like Shibuya and Harajuku are where these pieces of art thrive. Despite the traditional culture of Japan, some people take the time to admire these murals designed by modern artists. Some of these works have been used for mass marketing or advertising.
