This beautifully illustrated book will teach you all you’ve ever wanted to know about the history and culture of Japanese Tattooing. Takahiro Kitamura (aka Horitaki) has been a student of Horiyoshi III for some time and his devotion to the man and the topic are obvious.
With chapters covering the history and development of tattoos and their related art in Japan going back several centuries, exploring the tatoo master/client and master/apprentice relationships, contrasting American and Japanese tattoo, and explaining the nature of Japanese tattoo ‘families’, the book gives an exceedingly thorough overview.
Most of the more than 200 photos were taken exclusively for this book and can not be seen elsewhere. The detail in Horiyoshi III’s designs and the craftmanship displayed through Jai Tanju’s photographs is superb.
Whether you just want to see examples of a true tattoo master’s work or want to come to a better understanding of the history and culture of Japanese tattooing, this is a book you must have.
I never thougth I would find a book that got me more excited about traditional Japanese tattooing than Sandi Fellman’s oversize Polaroids collected in THE JAPANESE TATTOO. However, BUSHIDO has changed all that, and I am overly excited once again. This volume is a showcase of modern Japanese tattoo artist Horiyoshi III, as recorded and written by client and student Takahiro Kitamura. Kitamura is able to describe the unique position that tattooing occupies, somewhere between traditional and modern techniques, as well as balancing between Japanese and Western stylings, and ancient and post-modern belief systems underlying it all.
The photography is by Katie Kitamura, wife of the author. Her pictures are reproduced mostly in full-color plates, focusing on the overall aesthetic along with lots of the details. The models are both men and women, of varying ages and stages of coverage. Full portraits are complimented with more closely cropped photos, enlarging complexly-patterned details, subtle shading and expressive faces. A lexicon of body areas with the traditional Japanese names for the style of body coverage along with names for the styles of fill and background is a unique highlight.
A rare and difficult find, worth every effort it takes to get this one into your tattoo book collection.

No one can confuse me for someone who is an enthusiastic supporter of Sarah Palin. I think Sen. John McCain’s selection of Palin as his 2008 running mate will be counted among the very worst legacies in the Arizona senator’s long and storied career.
The three biggest ones i would say are:
1. The founding of the Eastern Orthadox church.
2. The world reknown city of Constantinople. (Present day Istambal which is now the capital of turkey)
3. The Crusades (First crusade was started by a letter asking for the Pope's support of soldiers from the Byzantine emperor in fear that the turks would over run the City of Constantinople and the rest of the byzantine empire.
