Jan Willem is a tattoo artist and illustrator living in Rotterdam, the second largest city in the Netherlands. Jan Willem does not simply copy Ukiyo-e, but rather takes inspiration from the works of the Edo Ukiyo-e artists and gives them a modern twist. As is evident from the series title "Studies of the Floating World," this book generously illustrates the creative process of Ukiyo-e as a motif for traditional Japanese tattooing. The book is divided into three parts, character sketches, line drawings, and paintings, to give readers a concrete approach to Jan Willem's Ukiyo-e.
