Okinawa street art – a pictorial

I

love street art, be it giant murals by professional artists or small sticker art on mailing labels. You can kind of tell the soul of a city or neighborhood by the artwork and tagging. Walking down any street I often spend far too much time examining each lamp-post for interesting stickers. I love them because someone took the time to make these, place them, and you can’t take them with you, you can’t buy them, all you can do is look, take a photograph and move on. It’s anonymous, fun, personal and free art.

Strangely Okinawa lacked the sticker and street art you can find in Tokyo, Osaka, and Taipei. Sticker were few and far between, and murals were even more rare. Still, I was happy to find a few. 😉

Not everything below is street art, I’ve mixed in some signs and packaging – just cause they’re cute!
