Japan Tattooed Man Bett Groom Irezumi Full Body Suit Art Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a Japanese man, identified as a "bettÅ" or groom, with extensive traditional tattoos (irezumi). During the Meiji period, such full-body tattoos were common among certain working-class men, including grooms and firefighters, and were considered a mark of masculinity and status. This carte de visite provides a fascinating glimpse into the art of Japanese tattooing and social customs of the era.
