Super Strike offers a behind-the-scenes look at Suiko, a leading graffiti artist from Hiroshima, Japan. This book explores Suiko’s personal life, including his passions for DJing, skateboarding, and manga illustration. It highlights his artistic range, international acclaim, and the interplay between his Japanese roots, influences, and collaborations.
Characterized by irregular shapes, bold colors, and deconstructed Kanji, his style merges calligraphy with themes from Japanese woodblock prints and modern European graffiti. Growing up in Hiroshima, Suiko became an internationally renowned graffiti writer.
