With more than twenty years of experience, Horitomo (State of Grace Tattoo) has built an international reputation as one of the most respected artists in Japanese tattooing. Known for his deep understanding of traditional Japanese imagery and technique, Horitomo blends centuries-old practices with a contemporary artistic vision that has earned him recognition far beyond the tattoo world.
Horitomo is also an accomplished author. His books, Monmon Cats and Immovable, showcase his unique artistic voice and passion for Japanese culture. Monmon Cats in particular has become iconic for combining traditional Japanese tattoo motifs with cats in playful yet masterfully executed compositions.
This unique concept was born from a combination of Horitomo’s two greatest passions in life—tattoos and cats. The word Monmon is a Japanese slang term associated with tattoos, making Monmon Cats the perfect name for his tattooed cat artwork. Since the publication of the book, prints, apparel, and other merchandise have been created to celebrate the concept while maintaining the same high standards of craftsmanship and quality seen throughout his art.
