Description

Fantastic reference material of sketches and tattoo photos for Japanese tattooing. Condition is considered "like new" for the bit of wear found on the front and rear covers, which is very minimal but present. Otherwise an unread "new" copy from publisher. This book is out of print. Ade vol. 1 is a collection of tattoo sketch and design work by Ade, who works at Nine, in Brighton UK. Ade has a signature style. He pulls from the classic ukiyo-e artists, particularly Hokusai, and is similarly influenced by contemporary Japanese tebori master Horiyoshi III. This book includes fantastic illustrations - beautiful renditions of koi, Japanese demons, oni, dragons, snakes, lotus, chrysanthemums, tigers, hannya, fox, namakubi (severed heads) skulls, cherry blossoms, Buddhist gods, kingyo (Japanese goldfish) and other classical Japanese imagery.
