From Library Journal
American photographer Sandi Fellman used a rare large size Polaroid camera to create these photos of Irezumi Japanese men and women who wear elaborate full-body tattoos. Fellman treats the tattoos as artworks and their creators as artists. Her text touches on the tattooing process, common motifs, the sociology of the tattoo, and relationships between the tattoo masters and their clients. Author D.M. Thomas has contributed two pages of his reactions to these unusual and even disturbing images. The 46 color plates in this volume, most of them whole body nudes, should prove provocative, fascinating, or repellant to a wide variety of library patrons. Kathryn W. Finkelstein, M.L.S., Cincinnati

If you have no experience with horimono, this book gives some excellent images focusing mostly on the works of three masters (only one, Horiyoshi III Sensei of Yokohama still actively tattoos). The book is worth buying for the images alone.
And I wish it were the images alone. The captions are often naive, bordering at times on offensive. The author at best over-exotifies and at worse verges on ridiculing some of her subjects, and seems to know very little about the tradition, history, and mores of Japanese society and horimono. Add to that an introduction that is almost unexplainably ludicrous (by an author with no bio!) and you have a book that’s great to look at, just not to read. I’d give it 5 stars if it was just the photos.
Read Takahiro Kitamura’s books as well as Donald Richie’s for better information.
Imagine life-size Polaroid photographs. Imagine traditional, Japanese, full-body tattooing. Imagine a book of life-size Polaroids taken of traditional, full-body, Japanese tattoos…. this IS that book! Sandi Fellman got the proper introductions and a great toy (a Polaroid that really takes life-size plates) when she went to Japan and set out to document the hidden world of the irezumi, the tattoo underground. This collection is almost all traditional hand-executed tattooing. The details are unparallelled, and you get to see all kinds of shading you might not notice at a distance. This type of body modification still is a secret, private practice in Japan and to view images of this quality is rare.
are you interested in japanese tattoos? yes? then this book is definitely for you! the photographs are great. and the tattoos on display are all done by some of the greatest japanese tattoo masters. the introduction i found rather bad; very artsy fartsy. but it’s only a bit more than a page long. so don’t worry. the complementary text sandi fellman has written i haven’t even read yet – i’ve been way too busy looking over and over again at the tattoos. again: if you’re into tattoos and/or japanese tattoos you simply have to buy this book!

If your on XP select Start – Control Panel – Regional Language Options – Languages- Check Install right to left languages (it will ask for you to insert you xp cd into drive)- Then go to Advanced- Slide down to Japanese.
Also go back to Languages tab and select Details and select key settings. This will allow you to alter the button combinations you push to open up the language bar. Which is the item you use to type either English or switch to Japanese (Hirigana Katakana).
You will probably have to restart your computer after all this.
Ignore selecting anything for Regional Options tab. That only alters your time and date on your taskbar.
I got a butterfly on my chest over my heart, It’s dark a pale blue and I love it. I was going to get it in purple ’cause it was my moms favourite colour but I wasn’t really happy with it in purple so I changed it to blue
206? That’s it? I mean, I understand we’re likely not going to get many non-English respondents, but 206?
Japanese does have letters in a phonetic alphabet, actually two alphabets. The 48 sounds in that alphabet have a morse code. I didn't know there was a Japanese morse code till I did a web search to answer your question. Here's a link I found:
For Chinese, apparently the system is to use a codebook where 10,000 ideograms are arranged in a codebook and assigned numbers, then you transmit the numbers in ordinary Morse code.
I don't know anything about typewriters in either language. The Japanese phonetic alphabets would be very straightforward. I just checked by putting my Mac into international mode and seeing what it did with the Japanese alphabet. It offers me a palette with buttons for each letter rather than mapping it to the keyboard.
