Super Strike presents a behind-the-scenes perspective of one of Japan’s leading graffiti writers and urban artists. Hailing from Hiroshima, Suiko’s art has allowed him to travel extensively. Super Strike offers a rare glimpse into his personal life, highlighting his love for spinning tunes, skateboarding, and illustrating manga. This book showcases his artistic versatility, the global demand for his work, and the dialogue between his Japanese heritage, his influences, and the communities he collaborates with. Suiko [酔狂] means “Fool on the planet” in Japanese Kanji, embodying this in his dynamic, fluid artwork. His style uses irregular shapes, bold colors, and cutting lines alongside deconstructed Kanji letters, fusing calligraphic visual language with themes from Japanese woodblock printing and modern European graffiti. Growing up in Hiroshima, he developed into one of Japan’s best-known graffiti writers, continually inspired by Hiroshima and the freedom of graffiti as an expressive art form.
