Sanko – Pt. 1

Sanko – from my research is  Japanese & means 3 of small objects.

SANKO #3

On the side of the Sanko Trading Company on Queen W. is this Japanese influenced mural.

SANKO #2

It’s at least 50 ‘ (15 m)  long! Don’t let the IPhone panorama curve fool you!

SANKO #1

Art Directed by Ken Galloway, with the help of five  young Japanese artists—Timothy Fukakusa, Mitsuo Kimura, Takashi Iwasaki, Darcy Obokata, and Shogo Okada
