Japan has lots of artistic expression that doesn't degrade someone else's property. They have a strong tradition of craftsmanship, and there are handmade things all over that are just oozing with skill. Their manhole covers are even artistic.
I suppose that if you really wanted a rebellious display in public then the Japanese culture isn't for you. But if you want poetic and clever art then you just need to look.

When in Japan pre internet and it was well documented I photographed all the different manhole's I saw. 9 in total over 2 weeks, over a lot of leg work us being tourists. Most I'd imagine still look the same today. Not really artistic in a western sense where change and variety in art is admired by the millions of inhabitants around it. Also doesn't really mesh with pop psychology where things (static art) have less value compared to experiences (vibrant art scene).
