The Japan Timesさんのインスタグラム写真 - (The Japan TimesInstagram)「“Archaeological evidence suggests the Jomon people keenly embraced body modification, including dental transfiguration and piercing, as a form of expression,” says Taku Oshima (@taku_black_addicts), a master of blackwork, a contemporary form of tattoo art inspired by ancient tribal roots. The bold, intricate tattoo designs created by Oshima are immediately recognizable for their enigmatic motifs and solid planes of black ink. Oshima is among a growing number of creators and researchers casting a new light on the period’s rich culture and mystique represented by artifacts that have provided insight into the spiritual dimensions of the people who settled on the islands of Japan for more than 10,000 years. Along with his friend and photographer, Ryoichi “Keroppy” Maeda, Oshima has been involved in Jomon Tribe, an art project focusing on tattoos featuring patterns from the Jomon civilization. 📸: Alex Martin and Ryoichi 'Kepoppy' Maeda.
