Graffiti Japan
by Remo Camerota
Japan has long been a breeding ground for innovative approaches to Western traditions, like movies and baseball. But, the fanatical embrace with which Japanese artists have welcomed graffiti has made for a form of graffiti wholly apart from its Western origins. Photographed by Remo Camerota, Graffiti Japan captures the culturally unique aspects of Japanese street art, providing the most complete look at Japan's contemporary graffiti scene ever compiled.
Camerota could never have guessed that his first, on-a-whim trip to Japan would result in him moving to Tokyo and befriending the scene's most prolific and talented artists. The more time he spent with them traveling from city to city, meeting local luminaries, the more photographs he took, the more excited the artists became about helping Camerota delve deeper and deeper.
Interviews with KRESS, BELX2, FATE, TENGA, EMAR, SUIKO, QP and many more reveal how these artists define their work as specifically Japanese, musing on everything from replicating the calligraphic intricacies of the Japanese language with spray paint, to foreign influences and national pride. Every single photograph in Graffiti Japan was shot in Japan, featuring anime and manga characters, kanji, sprawling legal murals and illegal hidden spots, all of which comprise this spectacular scene that could not exist in any other country.

FAQs & Polices
Why Discordia?
It sounds pretty, and very in-crowd. Which really sums up the items we carry since most of it is cute and you have to be in-the-know when viewing our selection of unique artist produced and manufactured art toys.
And we wanted a name that could cover a wide range of goods where nothing would seem out of place and we could achieve maximum variety of art, books, toys, stickers and more.
Why is your Logo and Apple with a letter 'K' on it?
It is the 'Apple of Discord'. The 'K' is for 'Kalliste' meaning 'For the Most Beautiful'. According to myth, it was used to create confusion and strife.
Discordia Culture Shop is an 'Apple Of Discord' in a crass corporate world by helping Creatives reach the public and denting the corporate bottom line as much as possible.
The only rebellion left in a strip-mall world is starting your own business and supporting independent businesses whenever possible.

YES! We ship everywhere on Earth!
How long will it take to receive my order?
Once shipped most domestic orders take anywhere from 2 to 10 business days to arrive depending on the efficiency of your local postal service. International shipping delivery times may vary between 1 and 2 weeks.
Pre-Orders may take an additional 1-2 weeks. And any special Made-To-Order / Based-On-Orders items may take and much as 3 months for Artists to manufacture prior to being shipped out by us.
