Omschrijving
This exhibition catalog explores the connections between Japanese ukiyo-e prints and tattooing. Japanese woodblock artists, carvers, and printers of the Edo period (1600-1868) shared materials, approaches, and techniques with their fellow tattoo artists -- a connection whose influence is felt to this day. With many beautiful color images both of Japanese art and of tattoos from the East and the West, this slim, softbound book explores the influence of Japanese traditional art on modern tattooing. Color art & photos.
