Amata se mamanu Tua i le Forge

E uiga i tatau Tua

O le Tua o se vaega tatau e ufiufi le tele po o uma o le Tua — o se kala fou e le mafai ona maua i isi vaega o le tino. Sa avea le tua o le va malumalu mo galuega aupito malosi, mai irezumi Iapani e sopolaina i le tausaga atoa, e oo i ata tetele Auropa o gata, agelu, po o vaaiga mythology. O le tele o le va e mafai ai se vaai atoa e leai se vaalele e taofia ai le talia o le ata. O se Tua faaonaponei e masani lava e fuafuaina o se galuega faamavaega mo se tusiata: e taua, e iai sona faailoga, ma e faamatala ai se tala atoa. O sauniga e tele, e tele lava taimi mai 40 i le 100 itula i sauniga e 5-12. E filifili e tagata se Tua mo le mafuaaga e le tasi ae faauiga uma — o se faamanatuga atoa, o se faailoga atoa o se aganuu, po o se manatu e atia'e i le aluga o le ola atoa.

O le a le mea e lelei ai se tatau Tua

O se Tua sili e iloga atu mai i tafao mo le mamao masani — e le se mea ufiufi o ata laiti, ae o se vaega tasi telei e talanoa. Filifili lou tusiata ma le faaeteete: aoao ana galuega tetele i pa'u, le na o se ata. Talanoa lautele e uiga i le galuega atoa aʻo lei amataina, ma faatusatusa loa ile faatautai pe a faamavae le tagata. Aua le faaopoopoina o le Tua i tatau tuai pe afai e mafai — galue ma le va talia, e iai ai se uafu mamao o lou tua e mafai ona vaaia.

Sitaili e lelei mo Tua

O le Iapani (irezumi) o le auala faavae mo le Tua: o le tua o le va ua maua se vaaiga atoa o le tarako, tigili, fugalaau cherry blossom, ma vai. O le moni (realism) e maua ai se ata o tagata, manu, po o faaaliga tetele, e tatau ona faia e se tusiata poto i ana galuega tetele. O le blackwork e ofoina mai se vaaiga malosi, e masani ma le faailoga geometric, sami, po o le natura. O le neo-traditional e maua ai le lanu, le auiliiliga, ma se vaaiga atoa o le galuega.
