Rackgaki: Japanese Graffiti
CASPER / / OSAKA
CASPER is a member of the CMK, the most prolific crew to emerge from Osaka. His distinctive italic letter styles have evolved from his love of old English fonts.

CASPER is also known for his 'monster' throw ups, which can be regularly spotted in the central Ame-mura district of Osaka.
ESOW / / TOKYO
Affiliated with the WOM (Word of Mouth) crew and based in Tokyo, ESOW is best known for his unique characters. He has painted with a range of top writers such as here with KAMI in a Tokyo playground.
VERY / / OSAKA
Born and bred in Osaka, VERY is often described as the Japanese graffiti ambassador. Regarded by many as one of the most travelled writers, VERY has left his mark on cities all over Japan and regularly visits Asia and the US on graffiti tours. Here is one of his stencils from Mito City.
KRESS / / KANAGAWA
KRESS is one of the most influential writers in the Japanese graffiti scene today and is a key member of the the SCA crew from Kanagawa. His styles are many and vary from tags, throw-ups to full-scale production pieces with SCA. Here is a throw-up from Sakuragi-cho, Yokohama, Kanagawa (left) and a collaborative piece with the writer AKIM at a secret location in Okinawa (right).
