Hello from THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI!
Today, we would like to introduce the street art near the SAKAISUJI-HONMACHI station, close to THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI.
In 1970, the SENBA CENTER BUILDING was completed in time for the Osaka Expo. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the building’s opening, a stunning collection of giant murals was unveiled at the “SEMBA MURAL PARK.”
What is Semba Mural Park?
Semba Mural Park is a unique space that expresses the spirit of adding new charm and possibilities to the past history and tradition, always evolving and changing shape.
Located underground between the 3rd and 4th buildings of the SENBA CENTER BUILDING, known as “SENBIRU,” Semba Mural Park is accessible to everyone, allowing visitors to enjoy the striking art on display.
Semba Mural Park is known for its impressive murals created by 24 artists. The art that covers entire walls is so captivating that you’ll want to stop and take a closer look.

Among these giant murals is the “BAKI” pattern by BAKIBAKI, a signature design that updates traditional Japanese patterns for the modern age. You can also find the “BAKI” pattern inside THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI, so be sure to look for it.
