Spotlight: 281_Anti Nuke

281_Anti Nuke is a Japanese artist that had a lot of art up around Shibuya and Harajuku. Sometimes it's hard to tell what the message of the artist (or if they even have one) is, but in this case the artist's name and the art itself makes the message pretty clear. The Fukushima Daichii nuclear disaster, and the still unknown effects it might have on the area have caused a lot of anti-nuclear sentiment in the country - and street art is often a reflection of local sentiment.
