Hardy Marks Publications proudly presents SHIGE BEYOND — the limited, numbered hardcover first edition. SHIGE BEYOND is a two volume hardcover set with a total of 664 pages. Volume one is full of spectacular photography of the artistry of Shige, captured by photographer John Agcaoili. The setting is the stunning Former Tomyoji Temple Hall, an Important Cultural Property of Japan, at Sankeien Gardens in Yokohama. The privilege to photograph at this solemn and beautiful location, a personal favorite of Shige's, required rigorous campaigning and the approval by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in Japan. The sacred beauty of this space creates the perfect atmosphere to document the dedication of Shige and of his clients. Volume two documents 16 years of Shige's tattoos, paintings, events and life! SHIGE BEYOND also features a curated selection of written pieces about Shige and his work. Much like his first book, SHIGE, this book will become an instant collector item and documents the life's work thus far of one of the most vibrant and influential tattoo artists on a global scale. This first edition is limited and numbered. The quantity of the edition will be decided after the pre-order period, so anyone who places a pre-order is guaranteed a copy.
