Description
Tattoos began in the Edo period as a sign of vows between men and women, and eventually developed as artisans carved various designs to show their power. The leading ukiyo-e artists of the time, including Kuniyoshi Utagawa, depicted people with intense tattoos carved all over their bodies, and created the designs for the tattoos that would actually be used. This book focuses on ukiyo-e tattoos and explains Japanese tattoo culture with powerful illustrations.Publisher : Pai International (2023/12/22)Release Date : 2023/12/22Language : JapaneseBook (softcover) : 208 pagesisbn-10 : 4756258239isbn-13 : 978-4756258236Dimensions : 25.7 x 18.2 x 1.8 cm
