Japanese Tattoo - Bonten Taro
$65 Available thru link in bio
Tattoo book by Bonten Taro, legendary tattoo artist, mangaka, yakuza and all round bad man. Published in 1976. From the back cover:
Bonten Taro was born in Fukuoka Prefecture in 1929. Although renowned as a *gekiga* (dramatic manga) artist, his primary profession is that of a tattoo artist.
With a career spanning two decades, he has inked over a thousand clients. In the insular world of tattooingâa realm traditionally bound to the strict reproduction of inherited designsâhe has successively introduced innovative techniques such as machine tattooing and multi-color work, earning him the reputation of an âiconoclastâ among his peers.

$45 available thru link in bio
Very cute kidsâs book of magic tricks, written and illustrated by Toshio Saeki, who, as many of you will know, has absolutely no business being anywhere near the childrenâs section. #toshiosaeki
Monthly Halloween - various issues
Put some Monthly Halloween Magazine up on the site (link in bio) - a cult Japanese horror manga that ran from 1985 to 1995, devoted entirely to eerie, atmospheric storytelling aimed at a shĆjo (girlsâ) audience. Published by Asahi Sonorama, it was the home of many stories by Junji Ito and the first magazine of its kind, helping define a wave of horror-focused manga for young female readers. Contains some questionable material considering the target demographic đ

Smile Rock Ride - Akira Kobayashi
$85 Available thru link in bio
Japanese obsession with SoCal on full display in Akira Kobayashiâs photos of Californian bike, surf, and drug culture from the 70s. This is the second of two volumes published in 2012 and, (in my opinion) the best, art direction by Shinsuke Takizawa, the creative director of Neighborhood - so good! #akirakobayashi #shinsuketakizawa
