Shige Beyond PRE-ORDER(dec)

SHIGE BEYOND is a two volume hardcover set with a total of 664 pages 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. SHIGE BEYOND also features a curated selection of written pieces about Shige and his work. Much like his first book, titled 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. SHIGE BEYOND is a two volume set in a mailing carton. Each book is a hardcover 332 page volume that measures 10 inch by 13 inch. This will be a limited edition release and this first edition will be numbered. In order to make this accessible to all, the quantity of the edition will be decided after the preorder period to ensure that anyone who places a preorder will be able to acquire a copy. Future editions of SHIGE BEYOND will be softcover and will not be numbered.
