Gunm Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 This winter I'll be heading to Japan (Tokyo) and Hong Kong for three weeks. I wanted to know if anyone could reccomend.... -streets or districts to flick tags and graffiti. -stores or shops that sell the ill, "never a chance of seeing it here stateside" markers, inks, etc... And could anyone tell me what the graffiti laws are like over there? Muchas gracias amigos:mexican: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabo 2 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 for tokyo: go to east shinjuku, or roppongi, or anywhere else tourists congregate. Most of the graf is by tourists, there's not much of a local scene. I haven't seen anything running on the trains so far. The police don't speak any english and have draconian powers in being able to lock mans up for no reason, so don't get caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cucumber Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Shibuya, Shinjuku/Kabuki-Cho, Roppongi best place for takin flicks. All along the train line heading to Kamakura. And if you're in kyoto and walk towards Gion you can hope over onto the tracks if you feel like painting, but be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbastard Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Japan is home to some of the best quality stationary around. My sister bought me back a half litre of ink from the japanese equivelent to the 99c store.. Havent been there myself, but make sure to check out general purpose stationary stores.

get sick Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 i'd recomend getting a JR (japan rail) pass, i'm pretty sure travel agencies are the only people that can hook you up with those, i forgot how much they cost but you get unlimited rides on JR lines, including a bunch of lines in tokyo, i think any and all shinkansen (bullet trains), in smaller cities like hiroshima the trams, and some ferries are operated by JR, so get one cause they come in handy. besides whats been mentioned, near Ueno station in Tokyo, theres a bunch of shops with shutter fronts under the tracks, and a few have nice legal pieces on the fronts of them, so check that place out after everyone's closed up shop. i also saw some nice stuff on the walls along the east side of the Sumida river. theres stuff everywhere, just gotta keep your eyes peeled. but i'm sure you know all about that. have a good trip.
