I felt uncomfortable if I gathered all the scribbles in Shibuya

It is still feeling that the Doya Street such as "Nishinari" and "Yamatani" is calm ... .... I do not want to look at someone's malice as graffiti. I have never thought that there are such dirty places in Japan. "The city full of graffiti" is a perception that it is a story abroad.

Hello,Takuya SAITO who went round the world by bicycle @ Charridermanis. The journey around the world has ended, but I continue to work as a writer.Report meeting in TokyoFor October 2016 I was staying in Yokohama.

◆ Shibuya
I know about Shibuya about the people of Fukuoka citizens as well. One of the downtown areas where large commercial facilities such as local Tenjin and Hakata gather. The phrase "city of youth" "scramble intersection" "Hachiko" "moai image stuffy statue (moyai statue)" "109" comes to mind. This place is crowded with many cosplayers at Halloween on October 31 every year this Shibuya.

Here is Google Maps.


It is also a symbol of Shibuya, Hachiko statue of the faithful dog in front of the station.


This is also famous Moyai statue.


The Shibuya scramble intersection which is the world's largest intersection is a popular spot for foreign tourists as well. It is a masterpiece that a lot of people walking from all directions can cross the road without hitting it. It seems unusual if this is overseas. Flowed at the closing ceremony of the Rio OlympicsPresentation video of the Tokyo Olympic GamesShibuya scramble intersection will also appear.


109 is a fashion building where young women admire. Tokyu "→" 10 - 9 (kyuu) "→" Ichiru · kyu "→" 109 "There was a pun, actually it was a building of Tokyu Group.


Entrance of Shibuya center street.


There was also a large store of casual clothing chain "H & amp; M" from Sweden.


◆ Graffiti crowded city
While I was staying in Yokohama, I saw the following news and received a lot of shock.

"I thought Shibuya was scribbled OK" = spraying on Bill, arresting US - Metropolitan Police Agency: current affairs dot com

"I thought that Shibuya could do scribbling," suspect said. There was a business and I went to Shibuya, but scribbles were certainly prominent. I will return to that day, but I will walk back after searching for scribbles in Shibuya. Then, it was a place like this. In the northwestern part of Hachiko exit of Shibuya station, the south walked beyond the Keio Line, but the east did not cross the Yamanote line. It is a picture taken in Shibuya on October 6th.

Crosswalk of the Shibuya station west entrance. Not only graffiti on the stairs but also trash on the street are terrible.


There are lots of stickers where I climbed the stairs of the crosswalk.


Back of the signboard, behind the vending machine.


Entrance of a convenience store that holds a sticker full of funky images.


Graffiti, stickers and posters covered vending machines.


The back of the building where the outdoor units of the air conditioner are lined up. It is the place behind the photo above.


The wall behind the coin parking is full of graffiti. My heart aches in saying that a fashionable cafe is a building where it is open.


It seemed that I did not get tired of the stairs facing the road, so I took the trouble to climb the roof and do scribbling. It was a building facing Ino-dori Street.


This is the state of the wall made of steps on the road. The guard rail is stained. There was a school elementary school on this.


Even though it is just the place where children learn ....


It is an old-fashioned apartment, but no words were found in this situation.


The distribution board of the sidewalk is also terrible.


The backside of the building where the soccer shop is open.


It was a building where the coffee chain is open in the main street.


A building wall of a parking lot whose closure is determined.


This was also the building where the apparel shop was closed.


Although the walls are made flashy flashy, it is a building that contains a shoe store nationwide chain.


The shop front was covered with a sticker.


If you draw the art so far with the permission of the owner, many people will be deprived.


However, graffiti was also clustered on the wall of this art building.


There is no sign of the crossing prohibition.


Barbed wire was wrapped around the wall between some buildings so that graffiti criminals would not climb.


The train "Aogael" which is located in front of Hachiko entrance and is now a tourist information office has also suffered from graffiti

◆ Graffiti prohibition
People living there have taken measures to manage this disaster.

Shibuya police station 'No Graffiti' sticky paper.


"Graffiti prohibited" "Security camera" sticker.


What kind of feeling did you paint over paint? It makes me sad.


In the stairs entrance to the underground shopping mall there was a petition saying "Please never climb on the roof." It was a common note in China.


It is rare for those who want to defile the city and litter their garbage. "Because it is troublesome" "Because everyone is doing" and the result by people without manners. But the graffiti on the wall is obviously the result of a person with malice. It may be dissatisfied with society and life, but that does not allow you to scribble on the property of others. Since overseas such places are worried about security, we were tightening and walking. It is not "Mohawk & shoulder pad", but scary people seem to be out, I hated it.

A foreigner suspected of having been in the news said, "I thought Shibuya could do scribbling." If so, I was wondering how many graffiti there are in Shibuya. That's why this time I went around looking at my own feet and wrote such an article.

If you are interested in the same way please try walking in the city of Shibuya using Google Street View.

A poster that ridiculates the LDP as "straight, to war".


It is a check on cigarette littering, but the content got scratched too much and it got dark feelings.


It was quite an intense place.
