The world’s easiest-to-understand “Basic knowledge of Japan’s largest anti-social group,” from its 100-year history since its formation to its funding sources and techniques for controlling people’s hearts.The “Reiwa Yamaguchi-gumi” by Mitsuhiko Yamakawa, a notable freelance writer, is published by Shinchosha. .
* ■Content introduction *
Approximately 100 years have passed since its formation, through the drama of the first and second generations, the charisma of the third generation who established a strong position in the entertainment business, the assassination of the fourth generation and the Yamaichi conflict, and the era of the fifth generation, which achieved “national domination”. However, in recent years, this largest organized crime group in Japan has been cornered both at home and abroad, with fierce battles with the authorities, exclusion from society through laws and ordinances, and even a split caused by dissatisfaction with the rule of one powerful group. The history of change and the complete picture of the organization from the Taisho era to the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras.
* ■Comments from the author *
Looking at the history and current state of giant organizations that are losing contact with society will help us understand what we as general society have projected onto the “underworld” world and what we should read into its transformation now. This may be a theme that will spark your interest. I hope that this small exploration of this book will serve as a “mirror” for Japanese people to look at their own inner desires and social changes.
