Tattooed Labourer Wearing a Loincloth, 1880 - 1920

About the object

Tattoos could be seen on the streets of Tokyo, where they would adorn the bodies of lower-class labourers and gangsters. In this studio scene, we can see a colourful tattoo design that well have been made up by the colourist, as it is not clear whether the model was actually tattooed.
