| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examines the activities of Japanese tattooists, including those who travelled to Europe, the Americas, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere to work or as immigrants, at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th. Using newspapers, magazines, photos, databases, and archives at research institutions, universities, libraries, and museums, this research makes clear that many Japanese tattooists lived and worked in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, India, Britain, the United States, and Canada. This research also finds new evidence of the lives and work of tattooists Yoshisuke Horitoyo, who worked in Britain and the United States, and Noma Den, who worked in Hong Kong. It also reveals that networks may have formed in Yokohama, Kobe, and Nagasaki among hotels, curios, photographers, and tattooists to efficiently route potential customers, who traveled by sea, to tattooists.
