Update : These murals are now collected in this excellent art book.

An Akira poster featuring Kaneda on his futuristic red bike decorates the construction wall of Shibuya’s Parco shopping mall, now under renovation until 2019 – the year that Otomo Katsuhiro’s groundbreaking manga is set in.

The poster has been on display for quite some time when I visited it, but there were still the occasional Tokyoite stopping to take pictures. Incidentally, the superb Otomo Tribute exhibition was held just a couple of blocks down at Shibuya Tower Records.
