Excellent Info on Japanese Body Suit Tats
If you’re interested in Japanese body suits or you’re looking for inspiration, this is a great book with tons of detailed photos. Also has a lot of biographical info on Horiyoshi III and his familial line and legacy. I have several books on this subject and this is one of the best.

Beautiful images and amazing education
Ordered this book after being tattoed at State of Grace in San Jose a number of times. If you like the aesthetic of traditional Japanese tattoos, and you're looking to learn more about them from an absolute expert in the artform, I highly recommend this book.

綺麗です。
三代目 彫よしの作品集です。 文章３ 写真６ 刺青以外の写真、絵１ くらいの割合ですので、英語が読めなくても楽しめます。写真の内容も完成したものから筋が終わっててぼかし、カラーの途中などです。細かいモチーフは大きく載っています。刺青好きの人なら、買って後悔はしないでしょう。

Fascinating book
I loved this book, it was hugely fascinating, full of excellent pictures and cultural history I wasn't even aware of. I got this as a gift for a tattoo artist and would definitely recommend it to both tattoo fans and those working in the industry.

Best Japanese Tattoo Book
When I first started looking for a book about traditional Japanese Tattoo I did not know what to look for. After looking on Amazon I found Bushido by accident and I'm really happy I did. This book will give you the story of how it all started and then will talk about the great master Horiyoshi III and his vision on Traditional Japanese Tattooing. After reading this book I have much more respect for the art and better understanding. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a book to have a better understanding of that culture and if you are planning to have a traditional Tattoo done like me.
