Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the rock band KISS put on a show in 18th-century Japan? Well, this mastery by world-renowned tattooer and painter Mike Dorsey creates a world steeped in the Japanese ukiyo-e period (featuring cultural traditions such as geisha, samurai, and kabuki theatre actors). It often twists them with an ironic wit into uniquely beautiful, striking, and often tongue-in-cheek images that include modern references such as the movie Spaceballs, Evel Knievel, and the rock band KISS.

"I suddenly realized that I hadn’t understood anything at all, and that each image has its own new story to tell, whether intriguing or morbid. Though dressed in the calm, elegant look of ukiyo-e, actually there was a whole new story to tell (...)," from the introduction by Miki Vialetto.
