Around 1900, an anonymous Japanese tattooist painted dozens of extraordinary tattoo designs on the silk pages of a small homemade book: twisted, bearded dragons; graceful geisha; eagles and snakes locked in midair combat; cranes in flight, meticulously observed; a spider in its web, waiting for prey. Within a decade, this enigmatic volume became the prized possession of an Arkansas farmer and amateur tattooist whose travels never took him beyond the Mid-South states. Floating West reproduces the original book of designs in its entirety, making a singular object of tattoo history available to artists, fans and historians worldwide.
