...seaman who could stand the pain of having a full-rigged ship tattooed on himself would automatically make a good topman. By the late 19th century Japan had come to be considered the chief home of the art. Aristocrats from around the globe visited the studio of one Hori Chyo, in Yokohama, to obtain such delicate decorations as a fool-the-eye fly tattooed on the hand. London's Sutherland Macdonald was the first European practitioner of any pretensions; among other designs, he offered a hunt with horses and red-coated riders pursuing...
Cyanide for Supper. To many a Japanese, trying in vain to cope with a U.S. economic program which seemed only to produce less money and more hardships, the old days seemed the best days. At week's end a 42-year-old Tokyo factory worker, Hiroshi Hori, took his wife and five children to view the cherry blossoms in Sumida Park.

Born in Kyoto 46 years ago, he was dedicated by his parents as an artist almost as soon as he could walk. He was apprenticed to the late great Seiho Takeuchi who made him study the lives and habits of wild fowl for 16 years before he might set brush to silk panel. For several hours a day he was made to squat in the marshes, by the duck ponds, silently meditating (a practice he still...
Today Tetsuzan Hori is recognized by naturalists as a duck authority. He has lectured on ducks, published monographs on ducks. Main reason for his visit to the U. S. was not to exhibit his paintings but to sit by U. S. duck ponds, meditate on U. S. ducks. He announced last week that the two most interesting birds in the U. S. were the Canada goose and the American wood duck. U. S. critics were deeply impressed with his technical dexterity, his uncanny reproduction of the texture of feathers, but, accustomed to the ideals of modern European paintings, found...
