In Japan, tattoo masters are offering workshops that teach the history of irezumi, the country’s traditional tattooing style. Students learn not only about the intricate techniques but also the cultural and spiritual meanings behind the designs, which date back centuries.
Universities and art institutes in Tokyo are even inviting tattoo historians to speak about how irezumi has influenced Japanese literature and theatre. This educational focus is helping younger generations see tattoos as part of Japan’s artistic legacy rather than a taboo.
