(Thread) Japanese tattooing, or irezumi (入れ墨), is said to have originated in the Jomon Period (10,000 BCE-300 CE).

Below, one of the 105 full-bodied tattoo skins that have been donated to the Medical Pathology Museum at Tokyo University upon the death of their owners. Image
The museum's collection was put together by Fukushi Masaichi, a Japanese pathologist who even offered to pay for and finish the tattoos for the owners if they agreed to donate their skins upon death.
The photos below were taken in the 1850s-70s, and were all originally hand-tinted (not colorized). ImageImage
