 Best Book on Japanese Tattoo I've Read!!! October 17, 2007
I was in the process of researching Japanese tattoos for my own tattoo design and purchased four books. Bushido was the best for telling the story and history of Japanese tattooing and the pictures were equally amazing. Bushido was informative and pictures were beautifully shot. By far the best book on the subject I have seen.
THIS is the ONE to buy! March 12, 2008
Recommended to me by a well known tattoo artist, this book truly gave me the nuts and bolts info I needed to make the big leap. Especially helpful
to me were the explanations of the different areas of the body that are typically tattooed w/their Japanese names. There was also a stunning picture of a gorgeous girl with a ray of butterflies tattooed in the body suit style. As the art evolves from a badge of the criminal class to pure art, I believe we will see more feminine interpretations
of this masculine art form. Excellent from text to pictures!
Bushido October 8, 2008
A very interesting and colorful book. I enjoyed reading it and looking at all of the pictures. Lots of good info here. Lots of writing about Horiyoshi III, including photographs of his studio and museum. A great book.
 Great Pictures October 13, 2008
Great pictures, amazing details in each tattoo art... you will spend so much time just finding the magic behind every image.
Like graphic designer and martial artist I really enjoy this book. Also, you will learn a lot about the japanese tattoo tradition and the samurai culture.
