The Symbolism and Secrets of Japanese Tattoo Art
The intimate connection between Japanese tattoos and the dark world of the yakuza has always enveloped this art form in a mystical atmosphere. But the culture of irezumi goes much deeper: a rich tradition of meanings, forms, and motifs that once began as colorful woodblock prints and are now applied to the skin to adorn and protect their wearers.
This book reveals the meaning and secrets behind the most iconic motifs from traditional Japanese tattoo art. From mythological and supernatural creatures to animals, Buddhist deities, flowers, and historical figures – each design is a guide to personal knowledge and individual expression.
Yori begins with a brief historical introduction to Japanese tattoos and then delves deeper into themes such as water, mythological animals, real animals, historical figures, flowers, shunga, and yokai. Richly illustrated and supplemented with original designs by the author and a handy glossary, this book offers an in-depth look at an ancient art form.
For lovers of tattoos, Japanese culture, and symbolism, Irezumi is an indispensable guide full of inspiration and insight.
