Tattooer
Seikichi is a young tattoo artist and former Ukiyo-e artist of high repute.  His longtime wish is to “carve his soul into the skin of a beautiful woman” but he has been unable to find a willing partner. The story begins when Seikichi finally meets his ideal canvas…

Inspired by a short story by Junichiro Tanizaki, the world-renowned Japanese literary figure, and Irezumi tattoos, which have attracted worldwide attention as a popular Japanese art-form through mediums such as anime and video games, TATTOOER  aims to promote Japanese theatrical culture in the UK.
