Rakugaki

Ideas, Thoughts, Feelings; emotions of people immortalized in a mural, a moment of happiness, joy or anger that remains beyond our time; expressions of hope, love and peace for generations to come is what can be appreciated in this Graffiti.
A Rakugaki or Graffiti is a way to express ideas, usually by drawings or writings in a unauthorized place, with the intention to criticize political or social aspects. One of the most famous Rakugaki is ‘Nijo Gawara no Rakusho’ from the year (A.D.1334-), which was a satirization of the new government of the Kenmu epoch.
One day while walking around Odaiba with the family, we saw this curious graffiti and we thought about writing a greeting message from our family to all of you. This message was written by my father.
