Japanese Tattoos by Brian Ashcraft
Japanese Tattoos is an insider's look at the world of Japanese irezumi
"Japanese Tattoos not only peers deep into the nuances of Japan's tattooing history but also takes a look at its current fusion with pop culture and shows us where it's heading" --Shinji Watanabe, editor-in-chief, Tattoo Tribal magazine
"This book is chock full of classic themes, characters, and designs, with plenty of notes on the historical significance of tattoo culture. Of course, it's great inspiration for modern tattoos, but also for any other visual art." --Boing Boing
"Ultimately, Japanese Tattoos brims with the authors' respect and love for the craft, occupying a curious space somewhere between field guide and coffee table book." --The Japan Times
