CONTENT Color Ukiyo-e Prints
The colored woodblock prints from the early nineteenth century, known as ukiyo-e, were the inspiration for the pictorial style of traditional Japanese tattooing that we know and love today. This book explores the story of that inspiration, tattoos' evolving meanings from symbols of devotion to punishment and everything in between, and the secrets behind specific traditional motifs. Truly a must-have for any artist interested in Japanese tattooing!
