Japanese Tattoo


Tattoo in Edo period

"Having put it" indicated a part of the penalty after Edo period middle term, and other one was called "Carving one". However, the origin is Indian ink (I) and (It is said that the first general and Nuno introduced voluntarily oneself from the thing that the tattoo was given as a punishment by the face when it is young oppositely) that exists in ancient China.

The tattoo as the penalty was the one to carve several lines (black and white) in shape to round in the humerus of the left arm in Edo period though was a lot of the one given to the place that glanced at the face etc. and understood. (As for this, the pattern is different because of the region. It tattooed in amount according to the provinces, and the character "1" "Na", "Largeness", and "Dog" was put gradually. The fifth times become capital crime. )"Carving thing" was used for this for the identification when the accident death was done while the fishermen for the Edo fire extinguishment (kite) to show chic chiefly was going out fishing. It is of course the same tattoo though both are different the alias. However, because the tattoo was used as a penalty, it is liked to call the carving thing as a name.

The technology of the carving thing as the decoration has developed through cultural maturity like the ukiyoe in Edo period etc. , too. The area with wide back was likened to one picture, and the dragon tiger like Water Margin and a warrior picture, etc. besides the person of the ukiyoe and patterns such as cherry blossoms were liked. In Edo period, various and rich color carving thing like a Japanese original idea etc. that tied the picture that existed respectively in another part was completed along the flow of the muscle that was called amount.

The fashion reached the limit, and it came to be considered that it was shame if the carving thing was not done in the occupation that exposed the skin such as Hac, the fire extinguishment, kites, and the posts when entering the 19th century. The effect is hardly seen though the shogunate often originates the prohibition, and managed it strictly, and the influence has spread to the samurai class before long. The person who gave the carving thing came to show up in direct retainer of the shogun and family's second son, third son, and failed students, etc.Moreover, it is said that the carving thing was put though Sei etc. feudal lord Uchida of Shimofusa Omigawa are an undoubted large names with the enfeoffment of 10,000 Koku. However, the shogunate was not able also to overlook indeed, and retirement was commanded back for Sei because of no conduct.

And, the barbarous one like the tattoo came to assume no suitability for civilization and enlightenment, and to be managed more severely when it became the Meiji era. Especially, Hoshi moved the dwelling with rolling as illegal existence in the fear of management. However, it is known to have put the carving thing by as many as two Nikolai generations (the story and the Crown Prince age of rumor of the Japanese tradition tattoo calling a certain Hoshi though it is known widely to the world through the sailor of a foreign ship, and it encounters it contrary to Japan when British royal family's Crown Prince comes to Japan and making it carve) in Nagasaki.

The tattoo was seen also by the Ainu race and the Nansei Islands resident (old Ryukyu kingdom area the provinces). It is only a woman for Nansei Islands. Hageti (Irezmi) ban was put out to Okinawa on October 21, 1889. It is also in the main Okinawa island, and is writing and Sasamori associate to 11 and 13 years old for Miyakojima by the giving Naonna etiquette. Moreover, it was if it will not be possible to go at the future life (world of postmortem) if it was not, and was considerably compulsive. There is Ayasama of wanting the woman who eats the meal of rice carving for the dorsum of hand and the forearm, variegated Ayasama, and to grow up for Miyakojima though it becomes aged and it was seen until beginning about the Heisei era, too.
