This is a marvelous Japanese erotic print that I bought from a clever fellow in San Francisco. He told me that the language written on it was such an archaic Japanese script that he had not been able to find anyone who could translate it. But as we know, in the world of tattoo many things are possible. At a Tattoo Tour in San Diego a few years ago I ran into a young woman who was accompaniing some of the Hori as their translatrix, and she could translate this.
She said it reads: "This is the boss man's wife, and she knows she can make his men do whatever she likes."
