This book is really cool. It is a collection of Japanese Tako (Kite) Illustrations which mirror Japanese tattoo motif beautifully. Cover to cover full page, full color handpainted images boasting some amazing warriors, koi, tigers, cranes, Yokai and monsters, Daruma and other deities, Noh characters like Hyottoko....it's a really cool book. More imagery that text (what text there is, is in Japanese) this is a brilliant referece book for anyone wishing to veer a little to the left of the woodblock artists that pop up so frequently in wabori. This book offers a different perspective on classic motifs. It is quite rare and if I do not have one in stock I will notify you via email and add your name to the wait list...
