Book Description
Irezumi is the traditonal Japanese art of full-body tattooing by hand. Recorded by a world-renowned photographer of irezumi, this is a study of the art of Horioshi III, a living legend in Japan's ancient and complex world of traditional tattoo. The pages follow a young woman as she embarks on the painful process of acquiring her own full-body tattoo. The stunning photography is complemented by an erudite, though never intrusive, account of irezumi --and throughout the book are images of completed works of irezumi by Horioshi III and other masters, both living and dead. This beautiful cloth bound book is a story of a young woman, and art book, a photography book and a meditation on the origins, meanings, rituals, and uncertain future of tradiitonal Japanese tattoo.
