Catalogue Note:
“IREZUMI” means Tattoos in Japanese, which has unique evolution in Japan.
This traditional style is called ”wabori”, many people connect it with gangs, but it does not hide its beautiful and fine texture. Evolution of amphibians from water to land into the unknown world, and through tattoos to present the meaning of discarding the general morals consciousness, this discarding behavior seems only in a moment, but such a move also open unlimited hope for their survival.
