Immerse yourself in the captivating world of traditional Japanese tattooing with this exquisite and comprehensive volume. Bushido: Legacies of the Japanese Tattoo delves into the elusive and rich tapestry of the art, tracing its roots to the indomitable samurai spirit Bushido. The profound essence of this revered subculture is unraveled through a mesmerizing collection of imagery and interpersonal dynamics. Drawing from the firsthand experiences of Takahiro Kitamura, who served both as a devoted client and apprentice to the legendary Japanese tattoo master Horiyoshi III, the text exudes eloquence and authenticity. Kitamura's intimate insights provide an unprecedented glimpse into the hidden intricacies of this veiled realm. Complemented by over 200 stunning photographs by Jai Tanju, the book showcases the breathtaking tattoo artistry of Horiyoshi III. Each image masterfully captures the essence of the artist's talent, evoking a profound appreciation for the depth and complexity of the art form. Furthermore, Bushido: Legacies of the Japanese Tattoo presents five exclusive and unpublished prints by Horiyoshi III, akin to the acclaimed collection in his previous work, 100 Demons of Horiyoshi III . These extraordinary prints serve as an alluring treasure for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

綺麗です。
三代目 彫よしの作品集です。 文章３ 写真６ 刺青以外の写真、絵１ くらいの割合ですので、英語が読めなくても楽しめます。 写真の内容も完成したものから筋が終わっててぼかし、カラーの途中などです。細かいモチーフは大きく載っています。 刺青好きの人なら、買って後悔はしないでしょう。

Péssima entrega
A entrega pela Skypostal foi a pior até hoje. O prazo não foi cumprido, deu que saiu pra entrega e foi entregue somente 2 dias depois, sem nenhum aviso prévio. E além de tudo super mal embalado, e parecendo que foi jogado no chão. O que resultou em riscos na capa do livro.

Best Japanese Tattoo Book
When I first started looking for a book about traditional Japanese Tattoo I did not know what to look for. After looking on Amazon I found Bushido by accident and I'm really happy I did. This book will give you the story of how it all started and then will talk about the great master Horiyoshi III and his vision on Traditional Japanese Tattooing. After reading this book I have much more respect for the art and better understanding. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a book to have a better understanding of that culture and if you are planning to have a traditional Tattoo done like me.
