Artist: Unknown Location: Shinsaibashi, Osaka, Japan Date Photographed: March 2023
I went looking for street art through Osaka and found this little character tucked away near Shinsaibashi. Part hand, part face, tongue out and looking thoroughly unimpressed, it was weird, funny and exactly the kind of thing I love finding on a wall.
Small in size but definitely not short on personality, Tongue Out! is one of those pieces that doesn't need a grand explanation to make you stop. We haven't been able to identify the artist or the story behind the character yet, so rather than make one up, we're letting this strange little face speak for itself.
If you're the artist, or know who created this piece, we'd love to connect. Our goal is to properly credit and celebrate the artists behind the work we discover.
