With this selection of paintings by Irezumi master Horiyoshi III, we hoped to make the visitor 'feel' Kokoro; typical Japanese nature and legends took life in silk paintings and photographs.
Internationally renowned tattoo artist Horiyoshi III is a great supporter of traditional japanese culture, history and craftsmanship but yet he embraced the modern western world, observed it, understood it and changed his art, evolving but keeping it japanese; this is ultimately the power and essence of Kokoro. It is a spirit that knows no time or physical limits.
