An extraordinary collection of photographs, which at once document a cultural phenomenon virtually unknown in the West (and in Japan as well) and reveal a tradition of artistry and dedication that knows no national boundaries.
This book is a great reference for tattoo artists (and other artists) or anyone that enjoys the art of Japanese tattooing. It displays full page photographs (including close ups) so you can see the detail and subject matter quite well.
