In December 2024, the Iwayagawachi Dam in Japan turned into a giant canvas for an amazing piece of reverse graffiti featuring Godzilla.

This project, called the “Godzilla in Saga Dam Art Project Powered by Kärcher,” marked two special anniversaries: the dam’s 50th birthday and Godzilla’s 70th birthday.

A team of experts from Kärcher used powerful high-pressure cleaning tools to carefully wash away dirt, moss, and algae from the dam’s surface. By doing this, they created a huge picture of Godzilla towering over a city. The team followed a “paint by numbers” method, where climbers hanging from ropes used laser markers to outline the design before cleaning.

The reverse graffiti technique used on the dam demonstrates how it could be applied to underutilized structures or make large-scale art more accessible and sustainable.
