So, um, and that's where like a lot of the tattoo people come.
And then, um, and then he's a, he's a second generation, so he's able to see his dad's work as well in the centaur.
So, um, so it's kind of like, um, like he lives like an Edo era person.
Like when you see these people that there's no difference to like the Edo era, like, like how I imagine the Edo era commoners live and like, and to, to the way that they're existing now.
Um, it's totally analog, like all their relationships are analog.
It's like, um, they build a relationship with their customers.
They've, they find people at the center.
Like, um, it's, it's, it's just like living like a, um, like, yeah, this, this kind of like shitamachi culture.
So for them, it's like a culture and like, it's a culture and context, like I mentioned.
And so for me personally, I don't understand how someone could just look on the internet, like on YouTube.
Instagram and just be like, oh, I'm going to become like a tattoo artist just from looking at the pictures.
Because, um, it's just, but that's the norm now.
So, um, so nowadays, like, it's just, it's like Instagram before.
So it's the same reason you'd want to be on Instagram.
And a lot of this, a lot of the reasons I would say a lot of people, like young people want to be tattoo artists is because it's cool.
So they get like clout and then they get a lot of followers and then they go on YouTube and it's all about being showy.
whereas the beauty of the japanese tattoo is that it's it's not showy it's like um it's what we call iki in japanese and um iki is like um it's a sensibility like um like born from the era because with the commoners because they actually had quite a lot of money like it was a time of peace and so the merchants even though they're the lower echelons of the social stratum
um, they had a lot of money and also like, um, there were also the, like the commoners were the cultural custodians.
So the things that we, that are considered to be like the, the, you know, the representative things in Japan, like the sumo wrestling, the woodblock prints, um, like, like a lot of the Matsuri culture and stuff like that.
Um, like the Kabuki theater, that's all commoner culture.
