He has begun another mural on the opposite building, the coastal side, which will feature ocean scenes.
The mural is one of eight featured in Ebb and Flow — a street art festival organised by the South Dunedin Street Art Trail, featuring large-scale, live mural painting and street art workshops.
Mr Aoshima said he was motivated by the people, particularly long-term residents, who had been watching him work.
"People are so happy ... some people say ‘we’ve been living for 40 years and we are glad to see [this] beautiful stuff’."
He said he was pleased to be part of the festival — it was great chance to spend time with the community and fellow artists.
"Lots of people come down to say hello ... it’s really nice atmosphere and vibes."
