Ken Hasebe, mayor of Tokyo¡¯s Shibuya Ward, has a message for anyone thinking of visiting his part of the city to tag a wall with illegal graffiti.

¡°It¡¯s absolutely unacceptable,¡± says Hasebe. ¡°I read that someone

from overseas had been caught by the police doing graffiti in Shibuya, and they had said they thought they were allowed to do it freely here. That¡¯s a serious misunderstanding.¡±
