This book, "Japanese Tattoo Ladies," is the first in the "Japanese Tattoo Ladies" series published by Keibunsha in the 1980s and 1990s. It's a wonderful book featuring numerous color photographs of unique tattoos on women. The photos were taken by photographer Shun Kisui, who also appeared in magazines like "Shashin Jidai," which dominated the 1980s. The tattoos featured include works by the first Horitoshi, the first Horichō, the first Horimino, the first Horitoku, the third Horiyoshi, the first Horizuma, the third Horimasa, the third Horigin, the first Horikyu, Horitake, the first Horiwaka, the first Horikuni, and the first Horitatsu. "Tattoos may be originally suited to women. The way that tattoos transform innocent bare skin into a gorgeous, lustrous complexion after enduring the pain of the needle is likened to the color of a butterfly's wings as it sheds its chrysalis, and this beauty and allure can be said to be the pinnacle of female tattooing" (from the preface by novelist Takagi Akimitsu). Shipping box included.
