Size: 24cm x 32cm - Pages: 320 - Published: 2013 - Price: $100 - Binding: Hardcover
This is a really informative book on the history of
both Japanese woodblocks and Japanese tattooing. Covering the
development of both from the floating world through to present day, it
explores the Ainu Indians, the tattooed firefighters, kabuki actors, the
yakuza and includes a brilliant section on iconography which explains
the symbolism of popular Japanese motifs. It features full page, full
color prints of tattoos in ukiyo-e, with full explanations in English. I
highly recommend this book.
