Published by Masato Sudo (須藤昌人) in 1985, 157 pages, 31×31 cm
First edition, hardcover with dust jacket, slipcase and obi
Condition: Very Good — Book superb with only a light bump at one corner. Slipcase shows marks and signs of use. Rare obi present, with tears.

First edition (1985) of this iconic photobook on Japanese irezumi. Sudo captures full-body tattoos with striking clarity, highlighting dragons, koi, and mythological figures in richly printed color.
Alongside the inked men, a naked woman appears in several images — a subtle counterpoint suggesting untouched skin and the idea of virginity versus transformation.
