Art & Culture: Mural of Astro Boy Made from Recycled Tickets
This is the coolest thing anyone could do with old train tickets. Talk about recycling for the arts! In the Shinjuku Takashimaya Department Store volunteers used 138,000 recycled train tickets to form a 10 foot mural of anime superstar AstroBoy.
The art display marks the opening of Tokyo’s new Fukutoshin subway line. The subway line is an extension of sorts. It runs from Shibuya to Wako-shi through Shinjuku and Ikebukuro. In usual Tokyo fashion, the subways look fantastic and the design is very clean. Click Read More for additional information and photos of the Astro Boy mural.
