HOSOKAWA, Takurou. Shodai Hori-Seya photobook.

(Okayama, Japan): Self-published, 1983. Quarto. Scarce volume showcasing the work of tattoo master (1st generation) Horiseya. The volume also includes a number of full page plates of the tattoos of Yakuza memebers, some by tattoo master (2nd generation) Horiseino. A fine copy in dark blue cloth boards with gilt lettering housed in publisher’s card slipcase. Privately published and with a 1983 cover price of 16000 yen, means the volume is now exceptionally scarce.
