Object literature: Bonten Taro was a renowned Japanese tattoo artist, painter, dramatist, designer, and cartoonist. He is celebrated for revolutionizing the perception of tattoos, challenging the stereotype of "tattoos = gangster," and promoting them as a primitive form of fashion and skin art. This collection represents a pivotal moment in the history of Japanese tattooing, where Bonten Taro introduced a broader color palette beyond the traditional black and red, embraced tattoo machines adapted for Japanese carving (in a field dominated by hand carving), and developed transfer sheets for skin illustrations. This art collection is not just a set of lithographs; it's a testament to a cultural shift and an artist's legacy in the world of tattoo art.
