The "Banksy: Genius or Rebel" exhibition, which has toured five cities around the world and attracted more than one million visitors, is currently being held to great acclaim at the Aso Building in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. Many people visit the exhibition every day, not wanting to miss this rare opportunity to see Banksy's artwork, which is attracting worldwide attention, in person. Many of you may have already visited the exhibition.
We have received news that will make such people want to visit the exhibition again. It is that a new work has been added to the exhibition. The artist is Banksy himself, but it is Banksy.
As some of you may already know, Banksjiri's true identity is Egashira 2:50, aka Egachan, a popular comedian belonging to "Okawa Kogyo" who opened his YouTube channel at the beginning of this year.
The work on display was created by Egashira 2:50, who was inspired by the stencil art of Banksy, who used spray paint to create stencil art. The work is a unique work of art that no one else can imitate, in keeping with Egashira 2:50's wish to "make as many people as possible smile because of these times.
The story of how it came to be exhibited is that the organizers called us to invite us to participate in the exhibition. For details of the sequence of events, please refer to the YouTube channel "Ega ChannelPlease see the following two videos available at
