The Sacred Art of the Japanese Tattoo - YouTube


With "LIFE with SHISEI" with the word "I do not want art, art, art, tattoo"Mr. Yoshi Saki participating in the eventDocumentary starts.


Participation The workplace of Mr. Yoshi Saki is Kanagawa Prefecture · Yokohama.


"At first it is not such a lofty, cheeky way of thinking. I just like tattoos and I want to eat rice with this job.I want to improve my meal to eat, but I have to work hard to get better. On the other hand, I learn life from a tattoo on the contrary, "he said.


"To finish a tattoo cleanly, you should first draw it, you can not do the next outline work if you can not draw it, you can not do the next" blur "...... shading unless outline can not be done"


"When you replace this with life, first outline ... There is something like life design, you have to make your ideas solid.To carve one needle and one need to take care of one minute and one second It will not be "


"If you put it poorly, you can not have a beautiful line, and once you think about that, you get to the idea that you should take care of" now "First, one hour, one day, one week Because it will be a year. "


"By accumulating, it will improve nature and technology, knowledge will also increase, you will need to study in order to make the design good, but knowledge gets wisdom from knowledge, so you can still do better."


"In short, this is"Defense breach"is"


"To learn from the teacher is" Mamoru. "However, you can not survive just by protecting what you learn, because you will not progress."


"In order to stretch it, I must break what I was taught"


"This is not betrayal ... ... There is a word" cross master "but that is" destruction ", is not it?"


"Once you have" defense "" destruction ", you have to go over it this time and it's" departure. "I do not know whether there are any people who could go there or not. I still think that I am on the verge of breaking. "


Participation Mr. Yoshi Saki takes out the design from the file ......


I will hold it over the foot of the customer.


While copying, "It's convenient right now, because there was no copy in the past", Mr. Yoshihisa Carriage participation.


"It is important that useless things are important.While it is important to do anything, I can only carve by carving a short cut, I can only remember half, I do not go around a circle, because I go on a straight course, only half I do not have knowledge. "


"Since I used to circulate in the past, I remember extra things. That extra thing is tremendous important."


It looks like this is actually putting in a tattoo.


"I can carve if there is technology, but I can not do it like real craftsmen, the taste falls down.When I see it with professional eyes, I can tell if anyone can see it, I wonder what to say ...... Copy There are also cases where it is better than the original, but as for taste the copy is bad even if it goes far.Copy is only a copy.If you look with craftsman's eyes, you can not win the genuine goodness. Is not "Umai - kata" but "Problems of badness"


Wet the skin with spray ......


I will copy the underlining.



I was asked, "The direct teacher is the first generation?", "Mr. Yoshihisa caribody", "Yes, that's right".


"I will not answer you even if you ask a question." Just saying "How is it?" I will find myself's master's answer by myself from that "woman." Different (laugh) So, I will train with my own feet, so one day "words will come out" you "


"The most interesting thing is legend, strange fantasy, fantasy, there are no goku and dragons, but I have to draw it as if it exists"


"People who were actually in the car can not carve themselves as they are, after all, they must carve themselves in a legendary style, they are liable to lie, they can tell the truth, they can tattoo for the first time."


"I do not know the answer" Even if asked "How do you finish it?" The answer is "I do not understand." I will not know until I come to the party on that day, since that time is important, only the inspiration at that time. I decided the picture in advance and made it, "Because that time will disappear"


"I do not think so it will make interesting things, and conversely it will not proceed without knowledge for that much." If you paint a stupid drawing, you will be able to draw it, but knowledge means you have to read books There is a lot of books that also write the wrong things in the book, you have to read until you can understand the mistake. "


"You must be a character of the tattoo itself, not individual customers, you can not move the brush as you think about the other person"


"Of course, I will follow the opponent's wishes, since communication between the customer and me will go to zero, beyond that, while keeping the guardians, we ignore the opponent Ignoring it, only the hand will move without permission. "


"When I draft it, the draft will be taken pragmatic, so that the free line can not be pulled and it will only be carved.The uncatchable heart is important to me, so every moment is important What is it? "


"The morality of tattoos varies from person to person, but the true appeal is manlyness, the pride as a man, because we want to show it and want to maintain."


"I think that women carve for reasons because they are pretty because they are pretty because women are beautiful, but in the case of men," It is not a man who can not bear the pain is a man " It will not be possible to raise the roots on the way and it will only compensate for the physical pain mentally. "


"It's simple, you can win or lose yourself."


"At first, young children engraved with one point as" American Tattoo "gradually became tired of American tattoos and turned their eyes towards Japanese tattoos (Shisei)"


"I wanted a background, connected a point and made it look like a background, now Japanese tattoos are becoming mainstream among foreigners"


"I think that the appeal of Japanese tattoos is the length and aesthetics of Japanese history.Which shape is beautiful in what form carved in knowing the human body?"


"I think that I discovered the style beauty of the tattoo is Japanese and the Polynesians.The people of the South Sea, their tattoos are also beautiful shapes that faced the human body"


"There is a Tribal, it is just a copy of a copy of a copy, I do not know what it is, there is no point, just a pattern. Essentially everyone has a magical meaning, It was designed to match the body to the body, "


"The same thing in Japan is the same, there are one arm for one arm, both arms for both arms, back for the back, one shape, it was caught in the human body, that is not in the West They asked for tattoo style beauty, and the place where I eventually arrived is Japanese tattoos. "



"To Hosei UniversityOsamu MatsudaThere was a leading expert in Japanese tattoo research called a teacher. Mr. Osamu Matsuda love tattoos and came here again and again, but he said "You can not bring a tattoo into your room"


In short: In general it means that you should not generalize, it is only within the people of the special world that it is a good thing that a tattoo advances into a tea room is an insult to a tattoo. There is no beauty. "I am impressed with that idea."


"Anyone can carve him and a person with a tattoo on the train is on board, and the entertainer is issuing a tattoo in a television commercial, I certainly think that Mr. Osamu Matsuda's" blasphemy against tattoos ". Evidence that original aesthetics have been lost "


"In short, as I mentioned earlier, aesthetics are getting rid of as the spirit is not detouring.Taste tattoo also glows for the first time with the backing of spiritual things.Taste tattoo, after all without a shadow part, The real light is gone. "


"I can not feel the attractiveness of a real tattoo even when walking with a tattoo in the bright, only when there is a bit of an underground smell, for the first time the charm as a tattoo, weight, history, culture, That is what I want to leave, I do not want the current art, art, art tattoos.The beauty of the "art" and "spirit" in the beauty of the traditional Japanese tattoo is I want both. "


"I think that I can never find the point I wanted, because everything ends up being frustrated, I do not think there is any one who died satisfied and died,"


"My final goal is to die"


"Since it is about how well you can die, how well you die will be told from people how" you have lost a regret "Oh, what you have to do is how well you have to live, That's what it is. "
