The History and Art of Izumi

Also known as Woori or Horimono, Irezumi is the traditional Art of Japanese tattooing. This Art used to be heavily associated with criminality. As a result, it was outlawed from around 300 to 600 in the 17th century as tattoos were used to punish people who committed crimes (Keo S.). However, Irezumi has since gained popularity in Japan and worldwide and is now among the most sought-after forms of body art.

Irezumi or Japanese-style tattoos highlight and immortalize stories and mythologies known in Japanese cultures, such as the 108 heroes of the Suikoden, the demons and deities in Buddhism, and the animal symbolisms in Shintoism. These tattoos are also known to symbolize a person’s strength, courage, and resilience against adversity.
