TATOO – The Iconography of Japan

Description This book focuses on the “tattoos” depicted in ukiyo-e, which have attracted attention from tattoo enthusiasts overseas, and explains Japanese tattoo culture with dynamic illustrations. Tattoos began in the Edo period as a symbol of vows between men and women, and later developed as craftsmen engraved various designs to show their spirit. Leading ukiyo-e artists of the time, including Utagawa Kuniyoshi, also depicted figures covered in striking tattoos and created designs that were actually used for tattoos.
