Same246 is a graffiti writer in a society where the movement has had to stay largely underground since inception. To understand Asia's graffiti scene you have to go to Tokyo, the region's graff mecca and a source of so much of the styles you see in the alleyways and walls of Hong Kong, Taipei, and Seoul. The most important crew in Tokyo graffiti is called 246—it boasts members from Japan, the US, Mexico, and Taiwan, including MQ, PEAR, RESQ, WANTO, ZOMBRA and SAME—and arguably the other most important man in the scene is 246's founder and Same’s writing partner, WANTO.
