We present an exquisite miscellany of themes and characters created especially for this volume that present the many facets of Japan: from nature to samurai, from animals to mythological creatures, through all the mysterious and intriguing characters of an ancient folk tradition: daruma, suikoden, samurai, geisha, dragons and much more.
A new volume in The Golden Flash Collection series: more than 200 colour illustrations celebrating the art of Japanese tattooing, reinterpreted by Crez, the internationally renowned Italian tattoo artist.
A unique collection, a precious source of inspiration for professionals and a mine of information and inspiration for all tattoo lovers.
"We face the risk of losing the heritage of such a majestic form of tattooing, so I consider it important to spread this culture all over the world to keep the flame burning. Cross-cultural contamination is what will lead us to a better future in my opinion, so I don't feel the need to be a Japanese citizen to do Japanese tattoos, just like a Japanese violinist doesn't need to be European to play Mozart on his instrument." - by Crez
