Gajin Fujita is a LA-based Japanese-American artist who combines traditionally-inspired images with graffiti. His materials include semi-precious metals like white gold that he slabs onto wooden panels, plus spray-paint, plus stenciled images of cranes, geisha, samurai, and flowers.
His work is currently on display at the Haunch of Venison in London.

I've never liked the look of graffiti. Such a blight it's difficult for me to enjoy it when it's commissioned.
Headed to the Ukiyo-e museum near Meji-jingu this week. I hope to avoid graffiti on the way. (I must point out, that I do enjoy that Japan has the least amount of graffiti I've seen.)
