She leans forward, resting her head on her arms as the tattoo artist works carefully, creating an intricate design in red and blue ink. This print was privately published and commissioned by Kunieda Kanji to illustrate his novel "The Hell of the Oden" (Oden Jigoku). A fascinating subject and a great choice for a collector interested in tattoo prints.
