Japanese Tattoos A Brief History
The traditional Japanese tattoos known as 'horimono' became very popular among the people of the 18th century or the Edo period. The most popular choices for the designs of the tattoos were the images from traditional water color paintings, picture books and woodcuts. Understanding the history and background is as important to experience and enjoy the Japanese horimono tattoos as it is to preserve their traditions.
The Edo period was like a period of Cultural Revolution for the Japanese. There were many changes that happened during that period at different levels of the society. A different class of people grew up out of the ordinary people of Japan, who found lot of interests in fashion, comedy, drama, novels, songs, and theatre. So, a unique and separate culture began to grow up.

The Kanji writing style is actually composed of borrowed Chinese ideograms that express total concepts or thoughts, rather than individual letters, as most Western people think of them. Kanji is the oldest and most complicated of the three writing systems and is used most often to write foreign words, including scientific terms and foreign names.
