From the Foreword:

I have been working on tattoo art for forty years, and recently, it seems that more young women are getting tattoos. More people are requesting sketches from me, and I often create portraits of women adorned with elegant tattoos. This collection includes such artworks, reflecting a trend where women are no longer outdone by men in terms of tattoos. Women are vibrant — hence the term "female era." Once symbols of male bravery in Edo, tattoos have now become a glamorous fashion choice for women. I hope you enjoy these signs of change in this collection. Additionally, as a new attempt, I have included "sketches" in this collection. I hope you appreciate the efforts of a tattoo artist dedicated to their craft. — Kaname Ozuma

Recommendation:

Tattoo artist, Third-generation Horiyoshi Kaname Ozuma gained worldwide recognition through his tattoo beauty portraits. Our friendship has lasted about 35 years, and his tattoo works, likely over a thousand, continue without concern for his own ease, ready to draw until his brushes wear out. His dedication is remarkable and shows continuous progress.
