55. HORITEN - Living by the Bushido

Horiten the 1st is a female traditional tattooer from Nara, Japan. In this honest and enlightening talk she shed some light on what creates authentic Irezumi, the qualities that can help in this path and the value of Horikyo’s legacy.

Her words are a beautiful manifesto about the way art relates to the core identity of the culture that produced it.

 

Big thanks to Maur Tattooing for creating the connection.
