Nippon Paint’s commitment to brightening lives goes beyond just homes. Across the globe, our teams are turning blank walls into vibrant canvases that tell stories, inspire communities, and showcase the transformative power of colour. This power of colour is not just aesthetic, but it also has the potential to inspire change and bring hope to communities.

Nippon Paint Vietnam: 12th Mural Paint Project in Ho Chi Minh City

In bustling Ho Chi Minh City, we’ve completed our 12th Mural Paint project at the West Bus Station, a key transport hub. Once a blank canvas, the 2,500 sqm wall now bursts with colourful landscapes depicting the provinces connected by the station. This project, done in collaboration with the HCMC Police, is a testament to our ongoing efforts to enhance public spaces and create a more beautiful Vietnam.

Nippon Paint Japan & SHOGEN Inspire Nakijin Junior High with ‘Nature’ Mural

Nippon Paint Japan collaborated with Toguchi Paint and renowned painter SHOGEN to bring a vibrant mural to life at Nakijin Junior High School in Okinawa. Over 300 students and staff painted a massive 80-metre staircase with colourful scenes inspired by “nature.” Led by the passionate 22nd student council, this project aimed to create a lasting legacy for future generations. Even a sudden downpour couldn’t dampen their spirits! The once-ordinary staircase stands as a vibrant symbol of collaboration and inspiration, reminding everyone who climbs it of the power of art and the boundless potential of young minds.

Nippon Paint China: ‘Colour, Way of Love – Art+’ Initiative

In China, the ‘Colour, Way of Love – Art+’ project continues to make a difference. They’ve completed 21 campus refresh projects and brought smiles to children’s faces by visiting a primary school in Yunnan on Children’s Day. Artists have transformed seven high walls in Shanghai and Chengdu, including a breathtaking 55-metre-high mural, into stunning works of art. And, in a true display of community spirit, they’ve collaborated with artists, residents, and volunteers to paint two walls together, fostering a sense of connection and shared purpose.
