Step by step

  1. Introduction & culture: Meet your local graffiti pro and dive into the fascinating world of Tokyo's street art history and the 'writing' culture.
  2. Gear up: Put on your protective suit, mask, and gloves. We make sure you look the part and stay clean before the paint starts flowing.
  3. Can control basics: Learn how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and manage pressure to create thin lines, thick fades, and sharp dots.
  4. The tag & throw-up: Practice the foundational elements of graffiti—designing your own signature tag and a stylized 'throw-up' on practice surfaces.
  5. Sketching your concept: Team up or work solo to sketch out your big public art idea on paper before moving to the wall.
  6. First layers: Start with the 'fill-in'—applying your base colors to the wall using the techniques you've just mastered.
  7. The outline: This is where the magic happens! Add the sharp outlines that make your graffiti pop and take shape.
  8. Highlights & 3D: Learn the pro secrets of adding 'shine' and 3D shadows to give your artwork depth and a professional finish.
  9. The final reveal: Step back, admire your collective masterpiece with the group, and take plenty of photos for the 'gram!

Local culture

Street art in Tokyo

Tokyo’s street art scene is a unique beast—a blend of hyper-modern aesthetics and deep-rooted traditional craftsmanship. From the legendary 'Tunnel' in Shibuya to the mural-heavy districts of Tennoz Isle, the city is a living gallery. Unlike other global capitals, Tokyo's public art often carries a sense of precision and "omotenashi" (hospitality), even in its most rebellious forms.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Tokyo is home to some of the world's most intricate "sticker art"? Look closely at the back of street signs in Harajuku, and you'll see tiny, hand-painted masterpieces that have traveled further than most people! 🇯🇵

Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a chance to contribute to the creative pulse of the metropolis. We frequent spots that respect the local community while pushing the boundaries of what public art can be in Japan. 🗼

Pricing

Our Tokyo workshops are competitively priced to ensure everyone can experience the thrill of street art. Prices range from ¥5000 to ¥12000 per person, depending on the group size, location, and specific workshop format you choose.

From private 1-on-1 sessions to large-scale community mural projects, we provide amazing value for a world-class creative experience. 💰
