Street art and grafti culture may be relatively new con–cepts in Japan, but they are exploding all over the country and the international art world is paying attention. Japanese grafti writers have caught the attention of major companies like Nike, Airwalk, and even Disney. Tere are books and magazines dedicated to this exciting new world, and yet somehow it seems only the heads from Tokyo orOsaka get seen—Nagoya’s grafti remains largely overlooked and under-appreciated.For those who take the time to notice, the spray-painted walls in neighborhoods like Osu, Yabacho and Chikusa are bursting with creative energy, perhaps even more than their Kansai or Kanto cousins. To get a better understanding of just what gives Nagoya that distinct style, RANMagazine sat down with a local Nagoya-based grafti crew called 3SR whose stickers, tags and pieces can be seenin virtually every corner of the city. Talk about pounding the pavement. Two of the writers took time out of their busy schedule to answer some questions for us.
