At the end of the 18th century, Japanese tattooing became sufficiently complex to be called Horimono<\/em><\/strong>. And it will have its definitive form in the Bunka and Bunsei Era (1804-1829). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In those days, tattoos they take on a look quite similar to what we know today as traditional Japanese tattooing.<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are already quite extensive and cover a large part of the body, looking like a piece of clothing due to the visual effect produced by the detailed drawings that leave almost no skin untattooed on the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first they were most common among firefighters, construction workers, gambling professionals, palanquin carriers, boatmen and messengers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this time, Japan is living under a feudal military dictatorship and citizens are beginning to develop a strong class consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tattooing is a way of expressing personality and feeling pride for city people, who were not peasants and were not in the military. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These elaborate kimono-like tattoos serve as an answer to the sumptuous garments of the elite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word horimono<\/em> The term was born from the rejection of the tattooists to the term irezumi<\/a><\/em>The tattooing of the criminal tattoo, then used for criminal tattooing, in an attempt to separate one artistic practice from another so brutal. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aesthetics and motifs used in Japanese tattooing go hand in hand with engravings. Ukiyo-e<\/a><\/em><\/strong>,<\/em> so fashionable at the time and hence the expression horimono<\/em><\/strong>which means \"carved object\"<\/strong>composed of the verb horu<\/em> (to carve, engrave) together with the term monkey<\/em> (object, thing). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
