Koryu, just like many other street artists in Melbourne, feels that city of Melbourne itself is like a canvas for artists.


Street art or graffiti is a form of expression by artists. It could be a controversial subject as it is often done without permission. Melbourne is the world's great street art capital. City of Melbourne acknowledges that Melbourne's street art is part of its vibrant urban culture and they even offer a walking map for tourists to explore it. It is not rare to see a group of tourists walking along AC/DC Lane and Hosier Lane and taking photos everyday.
Koryu came to Australia on a working holiday visa. He has experience working for an advertising company back in Japan. While he works as a graphic designer part-time, he goes out to the different part of the city and draw. One day he wishes to draw his own spray art work in all over the world.
