If Hokusai starts and ends with The Great Wave for you, this book opens another door.
Hokusai. Shunga brings together eight complete erotic books and print sets made between 1786 and 1823.
Beyond the subject itself, there’s a lot to study here: gesture, fabrics, colour, interiors, humour and the way Hokusai builds a scene.
A fascinating look at a more intimate side of one of Japan’s most famous artists.

Want to understand samurai imagery beyond the armour and swords?
Samurai brings together more than 300 woodblock prints and screen paintings, alongside the stories of the warriors, battles and rivalries behind them.
For anyone interested in Japanese art, history and visual storytelling, it’s a great way to see how real events were turned into powerful images, and to build more context around the references you already know.

Drawing a fox, frog, crane, or tanuki?
Japanese Bestiary helps you look past the animal itself and understand the stories, meanings and visual traditions attached to it.
Across 28 creatures, you’ll find folklore, haiku, and artwork by Hokusai, Hiroshige, Ohara Koson, and others. A useful reference when you want your own work to carry a little more depth.

Want to get better at drawing? Study someone who never stopped looking.
Across three volumes and more than 1,000 pages, Hokusai Manga is full of people, animals, landscapes, gestures, expressions, and strange creatures, all reduced to clear, confident lines.
For tattooers and illustrators, it’s a great way to sharpen your eye for movement, character, and how much you can say without overworking the drawing.

Sorcerers, shape-shifters, demon-slayers, and warriors commanding mythical beasts.
Japanese Art of Extraordinary Beings goes back to the visual roots of the supernatural characters that still show up everywhere in manga, anime, and tattooing.
A great reference if you want to study how power, movement, and scale were already being pushed in Edo-period art, and use that understanding to make your own characters stronger.

Cat demons, skeletal ghosts and nine-tailed foxes.
Staging the Supernatural brings together 40 nineteenth-century Japanese woodblock prints showing how ghosts and other supernatural beings were brought to life through kabuki and Noh theatre.
For tattooers and artists, it’s a great reference for studying how atmosphere, movement and special effects can make an image feel genuinely strange.
And the book itself is pretty special too, with an open spine, ochre stitching and a translucent ghost-printed dust jacket.

Ever find yourself reaching for the same colours again and again?
Kimono and the Colors of Japan is a good way to shake that up.
Antique kimono and obi show combinations you might not naturally put together, a great way to widen your colour vocabulary and push your own palette before you start drawing.

This book means a lot to me.
The Woodcut Portraits by Alex Binnie was only the second book Kintaro ever published. At the time, Kintaro was still very new, and suddenly I was working with someone I already considered a legend in tattooing.
I genuinely believe Alex helped put Kintaro on the map.
We launched the book at the legendary Into You in London, which made the whole project feel even more special.
Inside are 36 woodcut portraits, all drawn from Alex’s own world and the people around him.
More than 15 years and 45+ books later, I’m still very proud of this one.

One subject. Hundreds of ways to see it.
Skulls: Art in Bone brings together 368 pages of artists reworking the skull through drawing, sculpture, ornament, abstraction and more.
A strong reference if you want to study how a familiar form can be pushed in completely different directions.

Demons have been drawn, painted and rewritten for centuries.
Pandemonium brings together more than 400 images tracing how figures like Satan, Lilith, Beelzebub and Moloch have appeared across religion, literature and Western art.
For anyone drawn to dark imagery, symbolism and the stranger corners of visual history, this is a deep one to spend time with.

Volume III closes the trilogy.
The final selection from the Baldaev and Vasiliev archives continues the same coded world of tattoos used to show identity, status, biography, and place within the prison hierarchy.
If you already own Volumes I and II, this is the one that completes the picture and the set. It also includes an introduction by historian Alexander Sidorov on the origins and meaning of Russian criminal tattoos.

Volume II goes deeper into the archive.
More drawings, more photographs, and material that wasn’t included in the first book, continuing Danzig Baldaev’s record of a tattoo language built around identity, status, and coded meaning.
For anyone studying tattoo history or symbol-driven imagery, this is where the series really opens up.
