Respect The Culture by Mark (English Instructor)

So the other day I was strolling through Shibuya-Ku. I instantly felt as if I was home when I spotted what looks to be a wall of graffiti. Wow! What a beauty. Growing up as a kid in the U.S. east coast, I was deep into the art. A connoisseur if I may. It was very interesting to capture this style of graffiti art all the way here in Japan. “I wonder whose?”, I thought. It was breathtaking to realize how small this world really is because this culture started from the streets and ghettos across America. Now it’s here all the way in Japan. I give my Japanese bros props for carrying the culture on their backs. Respect!

米国出身のマーク先生、渋谷で見つけたグラフィティ(落書き)に、子供時代を過ごした故郷をおもいだして感動したようですね。米国の東海岸周辺のグラフィティを見て育ったので、本人曰くグラフィティに関しては「目利き」のようです。落書きは迷惑行為でもありますが、アートやカルチャーとして好むひとがいることも事実のようですね
