Horiyoshi III

[J.R.]

This isn't exactly timely, but it's news to me. Does anyone have any idea what happened to cause Horiyoshi to publicly terminate his relationship with Horitaka?

That sucks, its news to me as well.

Yea I saw that not to long ago. Dont know why something like that would ever happen but shit happens for a reason huh.

what the hell...?

I'd imagine that the relationship between master and apprentice would have become strained as Horitaka's ego grew in pace with his success.

i heard about this a little while back and wasn't very surprised. That being said I would really like to know the story, but will never ask. Question is, who is Horiyoshi 3's main link to the USA now?

[Black is the new Black]

Does he need one? His fame is so widespread I'm thinking the US comes to him at this point.

[Diamond Dave]

Maybe not, but i would hate to see his legacy get whored out like Sailor Jerry and others....

I thought about that when I first heard the rumblings about his clothing line... Good thing I have not been looking at the computer or shopping much lately.

[Chris aka Creepinbean]

Never Horiyoshi III is in a class of his own. I dont think it will turn into a Sailor Jerry type thing.

[J.R.]

Horiyoshi III's clothing stuff is way expensive too!

[Chris aka Creepinbean]

Yea I saw that his new clothing line is really really expensive I mean Crack prices.
