520 "The art of the Japanese tattoo has fascinated people
across the world for decades, but in Japan they are taboo
since traditional full body tattoos are associated with
the Japanese mafia - the Yakuza. Few organizations are as
feared as the legendary Yakuza.They have an impact well
beyond Japan, in real life as well as in popular fiction.
Yakuza Tattoo offers a unique insight into the dragons,
fish and gods that form the identity of the Yakuza.While
the motifs are inspired by the structure of the
organization, Japanese history and mythology, younger
members tend to add a contemporary touch to their body
art. Andreas Johansson is an academic and one of a small
number of persons that have been allowed to photograph and
interview members of one of the world's most secretive
organizations. The book includes detailed images of widely
different Yakuza tattoos. At one stage, right in the
middle of a gang war, Johansson frequented the shady
nightclubs, bars, restaurants and back streets of Yokohama
in the company of a Yakuza boss. He also visited the homes
of members of the Yakuza, documenting Yakuza symbols and
body art."--Bookdepository.com
