Work:: Tattooer (S646465506)

Seikichi is a young tattoo artist and former Ukiyo-e artist of high repute. His longtime wish is to "carve his soul into the skin of a beautiful woman" but he has been unable to find a willing partner. The story begins when Seikichi finally meets his ideal canvas... Inspired by a short story by Junichiro Tanizaki, the world-renowned Japanese literary figure, and Irezumi tattoos, which have attracted worldwide attention as a popular Japanese art-form through mediums such as anime and video games, Tattooer aims to promote Japanese theatrical culture in the UK.

CORONAVIRUS: All venues in the UK were shut down on March 16, 2020, and the restrictions were finally lifted on July 19, 2021. It is important to mention that the UK Theatre Web archive listings (iUKTDb) from March 2020 to July 2021 might not be accurate due to the lack of information regarding rescheduled and cancelled shows.
