Train Makeover: Anime, Living Room and Homeless Shelter Edition

Translate Into:

Not-so-long past the days of New York City-style “train-bombing“, the practice of entire train cars getting completely spray-painted with tags and murals, anime & manga characters have been the favored choice of graffiti to the Japanese. Pink Tentacle compiled a very neat selection of train exteriors and interiors over the past several years. While the anime’d out trains are cool, the Japanese seem to be the most accepting to advertisers too. Ikea recently decked out a Kobe train in textiles like ALVINE BUKETT curtains and BLÅHÄGG blankets.

Turning train-cars into more comfortable habitats seems to be a theme for the Chinese too. They’re turning old subway cars into homeless shelters. Decked out with bunk-beds and heaters, they’re being used to accommodate refugees from the latest of deadly earthquakes. We’re only wishing Ikea could sneak a truckload of house-warming wares into the new temporary homes.
