Description
The third and final bottle of the Taboo Series from The Whisky Exchange
Japan has a long history with body art, with evidence of tattoos going back to prehistory. However, over time their cultural meaning in the country has changed, with a period of tattoos being used to permanently mark criminals in the 7th century starting a process of them becoming associated with organised crime. Eventually, they were banned in the late 1800s. The ban was lifted in 1948, but the stigma against them has continued into the present day.
However, over time more people in Japan have become interested in tattoos and, while they are still very much taboo today, attitudes do seem to be very slowly changing. Those who do get tattoos often hide them, and the labels of the Chichibu Taboo Series reflect this – to the naked eye the three wise women are uninked, but shine a UV torch on them and more will be revealed…
