Description
An unprecedented collection of interviews from the most prestigious and influential masters of the traditional Japanese craft of Wabori tattooing. These interviews are placed alongside hundreds of photos from top photo-journalists, as well as archival material from the masters' albums which spans four decades. Japanese traditional tattoos are typified by a single large narrative or symbolic subject taken from Japanese iconography, which is often embellished with other complimentary elements.
