{"product_id":"tattooing-in-okinawa-obara-kazuo-9781950959617","title":"Tattooing in Okinawa","description":"All women living in Okinawa, formerly the Ryukyu Kingdom had tattoos on their hands until the Meiji Restoration. Once the practice was banned by the Japanese government the tradition began to fade and by the 1930s the youngest women with tattoos were in their 60s or 70s. \u003cbr\u003eTattooing in Okinawa Volume two is a translation of Obara Kazuo's research in Okinawa. He travelled extensively in Okinawa in the early 1930's recording many examples of tattoos. Due to the Second World War he was unable to publish his findings until 1962. Obara was able to find and catalogue a great number of tattoos from the majority of the Okinawan islands in addition to noting songs, legends and many interesting details about the tattooing ceremony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Obara Kazuo, Eric Shahan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950959619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950959617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Michael Shahan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Obara Kazuo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138816307455,"sku":"9781950959617","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22d734ca-ccef-4aad-904a-c9cc20ec6fe3.jpg?v=1687901614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tattooing-in-okinawa-obara-kazuo-9781950959617","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
