Wabori

The Art of Japanese Tattooing

Wabori, also known as Horimono and Irezumi, is a traditional Japanese style of tattooing that is created using large scale motifs based on Japanese mythology, religious icons, historical characters, scenes from nature, the elements, and Japanese fables. Wabori is also known for its dark and vast backgrounds based on water, wind and clouds that surrounds the entire area of the main motif and fills the part being tattooed. It also includes the whole body with the exception of hands, feet, head, face and neck in the case of a proper traditional bodysuit.
