Tokyo Tattoo 1970 is a book about the traditional art of tattooing and a portrait of a master artist. Horibun I worked with traditional Japanese methods, tattoos made by hand, with different sized needles bound to sticks which he dipped into colored inks. His motifs were all derived from traditional Japanese legends. Horibun I was a rare tattooist, as he was open to letting a foreigner come to photograph him and his customers. Tokyo Tattoo 1970 tells the story of a Japanese tattoo master and his work. We see him at work, meet his customers, who show their tattoos, and follow Horibun on a pilgrimage to a holy Shinto shrine. Martha Cooper's pictures show the process of the tattooist's work as well as finished motifs from an era long gone. Tokyo Tattoo was Martha Cooper's first study of a subculture, which launched her on a ten-year-long immersion into the graffiti and street art of New York City.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie Écho 119","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39404806176924,"sku":"","price":70.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/7433\/3748\/products\/MarthaCooper_TokyoTattoo1970.jpg?v=1615549266"},{"product_id":"the-first-horihito-iki-tattoo-the-original-pictures","title":"THE FIRST HORIHITO - IKI TATTOO THE ORIGINAL PICTURES","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTHE FIRST HORIHITO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIKI TATTOO THE ORIGINAL PICTURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Published by Shohan, 2007\u003cbr\u003e Book size 32 x 22 X 2.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e Pages 240 pages\u003cbr\u003e Softcover with a slipcase\u003cbr\u003e Language English Japanese\u003cbr\u003e First edition\u003cbr\u003e Good condition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eTattoo reference book by Horihito the First with all images being of his work.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAll full body, traditional Japanese tattoo art and biographical material on the artist come with English and Japanese text.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHoriHito is a former apprentice of Horiyoshi lll and tattoo master in his own right.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe book contains many drawings and color renderings of the artist tattoo art works, as well as photos of many of his client's tattoos.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e----\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHorihito 1 Tattoo Reference Book with all the images of his work.
