$19.25 at Amazon.com More Info	The Japanese tatoo - Review From Library Journal: American photographer Sandi Fellman used a rare large size Polaroid camera to create these photos of Irezumi Japanese men and women who wear elaborate full-body tatoos. Fellman treats the tatoos as artworks and their creators as artists. Her text touches on the tatooing process, common motifs, the sociology of the tatoo, and relationships between the tatoo masters and their clients. Author D.M. Thomas has contributed two pages of his reactions to these unusual and even disturbing images. The 46 color plates in this volume, most of them whole body nudes, should prove provocative, fascinating, or repellant to a wide variety of library patrons. Kathryn W. Finkelstein, M.L.S., Cincinnati
