The Shibuya Arrow Project was launched by Shibuya Ward in 2017 with the aim of informing visitors to the area of temporary evacuation sites and evacuation routes in the event of a disaster.
Rebranded in 2024, the new building has so far featured a mural by world-renowned San Francisco artist Barry McGee, a photographic work by internationally acclaimed photographer Daido Moriyama, and a mural by leading Japanese mural artist HITOTZUKI, but now a new work by Ayako Rokkaku has been added to the lineup. The newest addition to the lineup is a work by Ayako Rokkaku.
The mural was painted under the guard near JR Yoyogi Station.
In this place that had a slightly dim impression of brick construction, Ayako Rokkaku painted a light-hearted work in which a girl and animal-like motifs appear in a colorful, endlessly colorful world. These works, brimming with the colors that bring out the colors of spring, are sure to brighten the spirits of people passing through town.
This new and globally unique approach of "disaster prevention x art" will raise awareness of disaster prevention and provide an opportunity for people to think about it.
The nearest temporary disaster evacuation site from Rokkaku Ayako's work is the Meiji Jingu Shrine and Yoyogi Park area.Official SiteThe map is also available on the website, so this is a good time to check it out.
