Japanese Tatoo Photo Book The World of Horiyoshi The Third Yakuza. This book is a photo collection of tattoos by the tattoo artist, Horiyoshi Sandaime. This is a collection of tattoo photos by photographer Masato Sudo, who has been dealing with the tattooed body for over 35 years. This work is a collection of photographs of up to 20 people covered “all over their bodies” with tattoos by Mr. Horiyoshi Sandaime, a rare tattoo artist who is highly regarded as one of the most popular artists of our time. We have put together photos that show the exquisite carvings, as well as photos of him performing outdoors in nature, so that you can fully enjoy the world of work by one of the greatest carvers of our time. It is true that Japanese tattoos associated with the yakuza are still considered narrow-minded and anti-social. However, if you take a closer look at the intricate carvings, you will find that the depictions are based on aesthetics inherited from Japan and China, such as Suikoden, dragons, and even carp climbing waterfalls, and can be said to be carvings made on the body. It is the beauty that should be. It is a book that conveys the unique Japanese sense of beauty through photographs taken by Mr. Sudo in the studio and outdoors.
