When It Comes To Street Art,

Japan is very seldom mentioned, 

 if at all, it seems that it is not a popular concept, 

 but there is one example in Takatsuki City, Osaka,

the mural was created by Kobe-based street artist DAAS and was commissioned by the Takatsuki Art Expo 2015, the figure is in the likeness of a Haniwa which are terra-cotta clay figures and made for ritual use and buried with the deceased as funerary objects during the Kofun period (3rd to 6th centuries AD), a large number of them were unearthed in Takatsuki and so this mural was designed to celebrate the area’s history, ‘often times, I will find inspiration by referencing the crease patterns found in origami, studying the variations of textures and hues in the layers of old aged walls around historic sites in Nara, Japan,’ says the artist, speaking about his work, who knows this could be the start of a new trend of street art in Japan.
