TOKYO —
Japanese graffiti artist “281 Antinuke” says his latest street art – politically-charged stickers plastered around central Tokyo – takes aim at U. S. President Donald Trump.
Amid the bustling night life of Shibuya, a major shopping and entertainment hub in Tokyo, the artist pastes stickers dealing with social issues to lamp posts and walls to attract the attention of passersby.
His latest postings target the controversial remarks made by Trump about women and minorities during his 2016 campaign.
The stickers show a figure resembling the U. S. president standing between figures in white capes, which symbolise members of the white supremacist group Ku Klux Klan, the artist told Reuters Television in a recent interview.
“My art was produced out of the fear of what may happen to Japan because of such a horrifying leader,” 281 Antinuke said,
Trump “is saying white supremacist things, things that are much more than America first,” he said.
