Wallpaper with Irezumi Design

Description

Swatches are available for this wallpaper here.

These traditional Japanese tattoo motifs each have several meanings. For example, the basic meaning of Koi (carp) is prosperity – but depending on the position and combination of the motifs the meaning changes. Irezumi (刺青 – or “tattoo” in Japanese) has existed since the Edo era around 400 years ago.

There are additional Japanese words similar to Irezumi such as Horimono, Shisei, Monmon and Gaman – however, Irezumi is most commonly used. The literal translation of Irezumi is 刺 poke 青 blue. Traditional Japanese Sumi ink turns a beautiful blue-black color after the ink enters the skin.
