Created by internationally acclaimed artist Gajin Fujita to commemorate Central 100, this artwork blends Japanese mythology with the vibrant energy of Los Angeles graffiti culture.
Kintaro, the legendary “Golden Boy” celebrated for bravery, stands before two golden orbs as a platinum “100” bursts like fireworks, evoking Central Library’s enduring “Light of Learning.” Carrying rope-bound books from Fujita’s childhood memories, Kintaro raises a bat inspired by Freddie Freeman’s 2024 World Series walk-off grand slam celebration. Rendered in bold LA graffiti style, “LAPL” celebrates the Library as open to all and rooted in the city’s culture, artistic innovation, and love of storytelling.
