![final - push-2]()
In the middle of this month,
POW! WOW! Japan invited in a roster of artists including
Persue, Push (seen above)
, Sam Rodriguez, Cinta Vidal, John “Prime” Hina, Kami and
Sasu of
Hitotzuki, Ryuichi Ogino, Jun Inoue and
Kensuke Takahashi to Kobe, Japan to create murals on Rokko Island. The event was a followup to last year's inaugural gathering in Tokyo and despite the new location, the same philosophy of a multi-pronged approach - art, music, talks, education was used including workshops by the artists for children at the Canadian Academy from grades one to twelve as well as a closing event at the
GSKATE PARK with a showcase by inline skate world champion
Takeshi Yasutoko. Take a look at some more photos from this year's event below...
