Cats Graffiti House in the streets of Hiroshima [JAPAN]

in #streetart7 years ago

We went through the city of Hiroshima after a lot of sightseeing, by accident we found this cat-graffiti-house in a side street. You always have to look closer and search for the nice and interesting things. The place is a bar, called Hookah Bar, open from 20:00 till 5:00, closed on Thursdays. This we found painted on the stairs... ;-) Unfortunately it was in the afternoon and we had to leave in the evening, so we couldn´t check out the place. But maybe anyone of you will do that in the future, so let me know how the place is. The mural on the outside is fantastic. It was just imposible to get a good shot without all the power cables. Or maybe I am just too small.

A hookah bar ha-ha that explains the funky

Ahhhh mannnn I was there back in August and did'nt any Graff in Hiroshima!!!

That is a great find!!!

I'll be on the hunt for this next time I'm there on A Graffabout project 😉

Great shots 👊🏽

It was really difficult too find any graffiti in Japan in general, but here and there was something, sometimes even big. Actually this one we found because we got lost... :-) In Osaka and Tokio there are a lot, in the other cities it´s very rarely and if they do something illegal, it gets overpainted with these strange grey square blocks immediately. But fight the grey walls, color on the houses and streetart is everywhere! :-)

Ahhhh man I had a field day in Shibuya 😊 mainly tags but I love that old school flavour

Check out my insta gram I took hundreds of Graff pics! I was in Heaven!

Nice account. I like as well pics about the whole process and making of, not only some found pieces. I follow you now. If you are interested, here is mine: https://www.instagram.com/vagabundler/ . I wrote as well an article about streetart in Osaka on my steemit account, I still have a lot of material to make some nice reportages. In Matsuyama by accident Bakibaki (Osaka) and Mon (Tokio) did some live-painting while a band was playing just in the befriended guesthouse we were staying in. Check as well http://vagabundler.com/the-map/countries/japan/. I still have to work a lot on the page and put on footage, but principally it shall be a kind of streetart-tracker when it´s finished. Especially when you are at places or countries where you have no idea where "to find" the nice spots and artwork. The applicatios are not developed enough and easy to use, but I am thinking as well that later you could even make your own graffiti viewing tour by putting the markers in a route.

Yoooooooooooo broooooooooo!!!
Your page, site and video are sehr Geil mannnnn!!!

Super dope!

Love that Oska write up I was reading it and was like I need to get back out there mannn! There is so much more to see.
That might be a great idea! I am kind of doing that on my insta so once I manage to create some more time I could do a site in the future 😊

I'm heading to Berlin at the end of March for a couple of weeks! I'll be doing a few Graffabouts and working on a few other projects.

I'll be keeping an eye out for your stuff now. Great to meet you 😎👊🏽

Thanx man!!!! I appreciate it a lot. There is so much work to do on that website, but I can tell you that it´s really enjoying, because you work actually with all the footage you have collected over the time. If you come to Frankfurt one day, let me know. As well here is another instagram account of a good friend, Justus Becker aka COR, I would recommend to you. He does a lot of cooperative work with artists from other countries, last time he did with a group of Chinese sprayers a nice mural in Frankfurt, here is the article: (http://www.feinripp.net/streetart/chinesischer-graffiti-besuch/) and last week he did awesome work at the German embasy in Tokio (http://www.feinripp.net/frankfurt-kuenstler/justus-becker-japan/), here is as well his Insta (https://www.instagram.com/corone_artist/). If you want to do graffiti in Frankfurt you should contact him.

Yes bro 100% man. Its always good to have Graff contacts 😁

You guys keep it up man it is always a work in progress so take your time. You guys have some great works, write ups and vids. Just keep em coming.

I have added your home boy so will keep a close eye on him.

I dont spray I just shoot but I'm happy to work with artist as you see on my insta 😉

Hope you have a great wknd man and catch up soon 😁👊🏽😎

( ⚆ _ ⚆ ) There's graffiti in Japan?? Haha, this is pretty neat (๑✧‿✧๑). Saw this post featured on @jrvacation (๑•‿•๑). If I go out to Hiroshima, I'll try to stop by here.

There is not much and it´s not easy to find, but in the bigger cities you can find spots. I wrote as well an article about streetart in Osaka, check it out if you are interested: https://steemit.com/japan/@vagabundler/streetart-osaka-graffiti-japan

Cool! I'll read your post during lunch (๑•‿•๑).

Yeah, I've only seen tagging and graffiti in anime and manga (๑˃‿˂). I'll be on the lookout for those now. Maybe I've passed by some and just didn't notice!
