Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This beautifully illustrated book will teach you all you've ever wanted to know about the history and culture of Japanese Tattooing.Takahiro Kitamura (aka Horitaki) has been a student of Horiyoshi III for some time and his devotion to the man and the topic are obvious.
With chapters covering the history and development of tattoos and their related art in Japan going back several centuries, exploring the tatoo master/client and master/apprentice relationships, contrasting American and Japanese tattoo, and explaining the nature of Japanese tattoo 'families', the book gives an exceedingly thorough overview.
Most of the more than 200 photos were taken exclusively for this book and can not be seen elsewhere.The detail in Horiyoshi III's designs and the craftmanship displayed through Jai Tanju's photographs is superb.
Whether you just want to see examples of a true tattoo master's work or want to come to a better understanding of the history and culture of Japanese tattooing, this is a book you must have.
