5.0 out of 5 stars Bushido: Legacies Of The Japanese Tattoo, 13 Jan 2008
By Jordan Holt (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was a fantastic book, with some very interesting viewpoints and information. I found the relationship between the samurai honour system and traditional japanese tattooing particularly intreguing, and the photography and sketches provided a great insight to the visual elements described in this book. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to know a bit more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great if you like Horiyoshi III work., 6 April 2009
If you love the work of Horiyoshi III then i can advise you to purchase this book as it contains some fine examples of the man's work.

I do have a problem with this book though and that is the photography looks a little dull and has a slight blur to it which is a shame and another thing that isn't this book's problem is that i think if you're after ideas for japanese tattoo's then i will recommend to you Tattoo in Japan Traditional and Modern Styles as it is a better book all round on the subject matter, Bushido Legacies of the Japanese Tattoo is more wallet frindly though and is still a good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bushido Legacies Of The Japanese Tattoo, 11 Aug 2002
An all round excellent book with many fine pictures, and lots of interesting and well wrote information on the history and origins of janpanese tattooing. Well worth the asking price.
