BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Book review by Steven P. Harrington & Jaime Rojo/Brooklyn Street Art. Martha Cooper Library
Martha Cooper. Tokyo Tattoo 1970. 2012.
In “Tokyo Tattoo 1970,” photographer Martha Cooper, well-known for her definitive work on New York City’s graffiti scene, applies her ethnographic skills to document traditional Japanese tattooing. This book provides a clear and respectful portrayal of a secretive and highly specialized art form, preserved in black-and-white film photography. Through Cooper’s lens, readers gain access to the traditional techniques and cultural narratives embedded in Japanese tattoo art, offering insights into an art form that was largely inaccessible during the early 1970s.
