Tokyo Metropolis is the capital and largest city of Japan. The total population of the prefecture exceeds 12 million, and an average life span of a building in Tokyo is around 17 years. With this figure, it shows that this city has redevelopment constantly. As such, construction sites are everywhere, and the walls surrounding them, called karikakoi, are often white, invading the urban landscape with long and giant blanks.

However, there have been several efforts to avoid such sore sights by some development projects by using them as canvases for artful illustrations and paintings.

The following are some images of such graffiti.
