. . . [ WANOKUNI irezumi ] . WANOKUNI TATTOO -Animal . . For me, irezumi is the greatest art in life. . The pictures I've been drawing since I was old enough to remember. Now, that canvas is also the skin of dear friends and people I meet for the first time. I even feel a sense of destiny in this. . The main purpose of "WANOKUNI", which is my life's work, is to foster "Wa" (harmony/Japaneseness) through my expression. . To engrave a lifelong work on someone's body, living in the same era, is a connection and creation. . It is an art that cannot be established without both of us being there at that moment, undeniably unique. . Something only I can do, yet something I cannot do alone; such is the collaborative activity achieved through individual personality and resonance. . I believe irezumi is an extension of individual painting, the ultimate form of expression. . . These are works created through many thoughts and requests over time, each encapsulating the "now" of that moment. . I can't post everything, but here's a compilation. . .
