By Takamitsu Hairi


Swift development ahead of times supported by a prosperous cultural and historical background, that is the main factor of Japan's advancement. In the field of technology they are up to date and in the field of arts and crafts they possess skilled hands. When it comes to the cultural field, their life and culture have made influences on the global life itself.

One of the things that have brought the country of Japan recognition on a global scale is the art of tattooing that the Japanese people wallow in. Tattooing has existed in Japan for many centuries. Really some of the designs that are found today can be traced back to the 5th century BC. It should be noted that tattooing was something looked down upon in Japan because it was considered to be an art form associated with criminals.

Having said that, Japan has now succeeded in making the best of their expertise by disseminating the art of tattooing to abroad and winning a wider applaud. In the west, the new generation has welcomed this art with open arms and has adopted as a vogue.

In Japan the field continues to have a bad connotation even today. But for the sake of making profit they have developed their tattooing industry which now deals with a worldwide clientele.

Japanese tattoos are too much appealing because of their exceptional charm and aesthetic appearance. Love symbols are the most loved among them by the masses. Younger generation in the west will never be satisfied until they express their love using the Japanese love symbols.

Kanji script, which was copied from the Chinese characters long ago, is used to design the love symbols. Because of the alluring artistic appearance of these scripts, some may think that they were originally formed for the use of tattoo designing.

Both men and women are being attracted to the allure of the Japanese tattoos and that is the real resplendence of this art. The romantic allure of these symbols turns on the young people and makes them addicted for lifetime.

There is no doubt about the physical beauty of the love symbol. But the fact that makes it even more loved by the public is that this aesthetically pleasing design has a deep inner meaning. In fact these symbols illustrate much more than words, they represent concepts. Thus a love symbol is actually symbolizing the concept of universal love.

Creating such an communicative art cannot be a silly task and requires skill and creativity. Every stroke in the design should be careful and artistic in order to express such a deep idea. Japanese people are gifted enough to illustrate so many concepts including unity, strength, freedom and peace using these kind of symbols and tattoos.
