Below is Kuniyoshi’s Ariōmaru Kills a Giant Octopus, circa 1833-1835. In Japanese medieval military chronicles Ariō was a servant of Priest Shunkan who gave particularly loyal service during Shunkan’s banishment and death on Kikai island. The inscription in the top right of the picture tells how Ariō killed a giant octopus during his journey to Kikai island to join his master.

Hanya mask blast over cover up
The tendency to cover up unwanted work with dark ,dingy ,second rate work can be met head on with a bit of imagination
I think the end result of obscuring the tattoo underneath with a nice design over it negates the show through areas
I invite anyone to guess what’s underneath this cover up
Job done!
