I also wanted to add. We have to see the true beauty of ‘imperfection’…

I am writing on a blog entry about perfection in software development and the philosophy and japanese tatoo analogy would be quite interesting to evaluate and use.

Thanks for the swift response.

take care,

Hello,

I fell over your blog when doing some research on something totally unrelated. I am trying to get some information on the concept of perfection in regard to Japanese tatoos.

This quote “Something must be somewhere left undone- perhaps only in this way can the promise of the original inspiration and the ideal of perfection be suggested.” is quite interesting.

The reason why I was looking into irezumi, is that I once heard that a minor imperfection would made by the tatoo artist on purpose, in a way to indicate that perfection cannot be achieved but only strived for.

Have you by any chance heard about this philisophy?

I am not knowledgeable on eastern/japanese philisophy or religion, but the view on perfection is quite interesting.

Thanks. Such a shame that I haven’t been back to Japan in years and have forgotten most of my Japanese too.
Have accumulated quite a lot of tattoos in the meantime though.
