Product description ※Please note that product information is not in full comprehensive meaning because of the machine translation.

Paintings by Kuniyoshi, Toyonokuni, Yoshitoshi, and Kunichika, and the irreverent aesthetics of the Outlaw.
Tattoos started as a sign of a vow between men and women in the Edo era, and developed as craftsmen carved various designs to show their power. Utagawa Kuniyoshi and other leading ukiyo-e artists of the time also painted people with strong tattoos all over their bodies and designed tattoos for actual use. This book focuses on the "tattoos" of ukiyo-e that attract attention from foreign tattoo fans, and explains Japanese tattoo culture with impressive illustrations.
