Step by step

  1. Arrival and welcome: Meet your local Sendai artist and get introduced to the vibrant world of street art. We’ll start with a quick safety briefing and gear up!
  2. Nozzle knowledge: Learn about the different ‘caps’ or nozzles that change the spray width. This is the secret to those professional-looking lines.
  3. First lines: Grab a can and start practicing basic shapes on the wall. You’ll learn how to control your hand movement and distance from the surface.
  4. Sketching your concept: Use chalk or light spray to outline your design. Whether it's a classic tag or a colorful character, we’ll help you map it out.
  5. Filling and fading: Master the art of the 'fill-in.' Learn how to blend colors together to create those smooth, iconic graffiti gradients.
  6. The power of the outline: Add a sharp outer line to your work to make it pop and look professional. This is where your art really comes to life!
  7. Highlights and details: Add those final 'shines' and 'power lines' that give your graffiti depth and character.
  8. Final reveal and photos: Step back and admire your work! We’ll take some epic photos of you and your masterpiece for the 'gram.
  9. Cleanup and wrap-up: We handle the mess while you enjoy the post-creative glow. You’re now officially part of the street art community!

Parking facilities are available in central areas, though public transport is often the most convenient choice. Sendai Airport (SDJ) serves both domestic and international flights, with a direct rail link to Sendai Station, making it straightforward for groups arriving from further afield.

Local culture

Street Art and Creative Scene in Sendai

Sendai's artistic landscape is perhaps more subtle than some larger Japanese cities, with a focus on public art installations and gallery spaces rather than widespread street art. Areas like Jozenji-dori are notable for their tree lined avenues and occasional sculptures, contributing to the city's green and artistic image. The city supports various cultural events and exhibitions throughout the year, reflecting a growing appreciation for diverse art forms.

While Sendai may not have dedicated street art districts, its forward looking approach to urban development and cultural enrichment means there is an openness to creative expression. Our workshops offer a space to explore this creativity in a controlled and educational environment, allowing participants to understand the artistic principles behind graffiti and street art without impacting public spaces.
