The master returns
The ancient art of Kakejiku scroll painting has provided generations with a source of inspiration and wonder, and Horiyoshi III continues this rich tradition in his distinctive style. Blending the refined spirit of Edo-era aesthetics with a breathtakingly modern sensibility, Horiyoshi III's paintings come alive with every delicate line and expressive brushstroke.
From skin to paper
In Horiyoshi III's philosophy, every stroke of the needle counts. And the same is true for the brush. In this exclusive new volume from Kintaro Publishing, you'll find 38 brand-new scroll paintings, presented in a unique vertical gatefold design. At nearly a meter in length, you can explore each work in unprecedented detail. Each image is also accompanied by the artist's own notes in Japanese and English, offering profound insights into his creative process and inspirations.
A master of Japanese hand tattooing (Tebori) and one of the world's leading full-body tattoo artists, Horiyoshi III began by drawing and painting to create designs for his tattoo clients. However, it soon became clear that his talents with a brush far surpassed his skills with a needle. His hand-painted scrolls are now exhibited and sought after worldwide. And thanks to Scrolls II, you can fully appreciate every detail and discover a work of art unlike any other, like never before.
