Reunion of two photo books on the theme of Japanese tattooed women including;
Peau de rêves, 1962, publisher Ippei Takahashi in Tokyo, photographs by Shinobu Isshiki and Kai Oizumi, purple cloth cover and slipcase, no longer in print, very good condition.
Collection of photographs of beautiful tattooed women, 1988, first edition, publisher Keibunsha in Tokyo, no longer in print, tear under back cover.
Notes: Tattooing in Japan takes on a very special dimension with IREZUMI, long associated with the yakuza. Women associated with this milieu - whether companions or full-fledged members - often wear extensive tattoos, rich in highly codified traditional symbols.
For them, tattoos are more than just ornaments; they are a sign of loyalty and belonging, forever inscribed in the flesh, between silent pride and social marginalization.
