Fabio Gargiulo – 101 Namakubi

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

This travel-sized sketchbook is 216 pages filled with grotesque and terrifying line drawings of namakubi. Namakubi or severed head tattoo is one of the classic motives in Japanese tattooing tradition, stemming from warrior class of feudal Japan. They can have different meanings, like respect for your enemy, courage and fearlessness, but one of the most common would be accepting ones fate with honor and dignity. This little but powerful book is a must have for any artist!
