Yushi Horikichi

Garyou Tensei (gahr-EE-oh tenSAY) refers to the final dot of ink that the Japanese believe brings life to a drawing; for a dragon, for example, the finishing touch is its eye. This book contains a series of 108 hand-painted, traditional Japanese kaina, Japanese half-sleeve tattoo designs applied to the upper left and right arms.
