Front Cover: Aba Bayefsky visited Japan on several occasions for the purpose of working in the studios of Japanese tattoo Masters. These included Mitsuaki Ohwada (Yokohama) and Kazuo Oguri Horihide (Gifu City). Afterwards in the early 1980s, Aba wrote in his journal, “I am having difficulty finding a gallery for my recent work done in Japan,” showing that he was before his time and was drawn to tattoos as art years before tattoos became widely accepted. (Edra Bayefsky, 2018)
