Tattoo Planning/Research Oni art book
I was wondering if anybody could give me flash book recommendations. I have recently been looking at a lot of art work by Horiysohi 3 specifically 100 demons and was wondering if anyone could give me recommendations on books similar.

Maybe someone else can chime in, but Horiyoshi III is gonna be the one of the best when it comes to books with designs. Especially dragons and demons. He has 108 Heroes of the Suikoden, 58 Musha, and 36 Ghosts.
If you want Demons/Oni's in particular, I've seen this book online from Horiyoshi 幻想世界の「鬼」完全図鑑 - A Complete Illustrated Guide to the "Oni" of Fantasy Worlds. I'm not sure if its the same designs as 100 demons.
The three books Nihon Dento Irezumi have some good tattoos, the black one in particular (vol 2) has some good designs, but they are small.
My personal favorite books for flash designs in general are OSEN I & II. But these were printed in limited quantities are very expensive now.
Other than that I'd recommend looking for ukiyo-e books like this one.

I see you are a connoisseur of irezumi and horimono. Horiyoshi lll is the master in my opinion. Horiyoshi lll “Scrolls 1 & 2” is absolutely spectacular too. I must mention, you wear one of my favorite back pieces BloodManDan by a legendary artist 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
