Product Description
Dedicated to Japan's rackgaki (graffiti) scene, this book illustrates the work of major graffiti artists working in Japan today. It showcases the creativity that lies within this new and relatively unexplored form of contemporary Japanese art. Interviews with the artists, and the authors' own experiences in documenting the different aspects of this subculture, reveal an art-form at the cutting edge and often at odds with police and civic authorities. An accompanying DVD brings to life the imagery of the book and includes footage of graffiti being created. Set to a soundtrack by some of Japan's leading Trip-Hop artists, the viewer is fully immersed in the subculture that is Japanese graffiti.

 Amazing! June 24, 2008
Very good book covering graffiti in Japan. Wonderful paper choice, nice pictures and a simple yet very usefull DVD that takes you to the spots in question with nice edit! I watched it in my imac with no problems.
very cool May 31, 2008
thought it had great shots and i love the DVD, sweet sounds and great edits. the only thing its not a multi region DVD. I watched it on a little "Colby" dvd player which i entered a code so it plays everything.
So if you have just a regular DVD player your out of luck, or maybe you should be able to watch it on your PC. Either way I loved it.

i go this book the day it came it and was very impressed...i had heard from a relative who lived in japan for about 5 years that japan didn't have much of a writing scene...this book/dvd proves otherwise...the dvd wont play on region 1 players but it worked on my laptop without any problems...this is great for anyone who appreciates the neglected art of the streets

the book is great but the DVD is PAL format so unless you have a player that can play European DVDS you wont be watching it.
