The Suikoden
The Suikoden is a Japanese story from the 1700’s based on an even older Chinese story called Shui-Hi-Chuan. In the tradition of the honorable bandit Robin Hood, this story featured 108 tattooed heroes. Historically, the story had resounded for the lower classes with its class-conscious theme, but in 1827, woodblock artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi published illustrations of these heroes and their fabulous tattoos. They became massively popular all over Japan and some of the most influential tattoo designs of their day. The original prints are still in use.
