¡Yamaguchigumi to Nippon Kessei 103 Nen No Tsushi Kara Kindai Wo Yomu(Shodensha Shinsho)
¡Miyazaki Manabu / [Cho]
Description
[Machine Translation] Yamaguchigumi was founded in Kobe in 1915 as an organization of dockworkers. The famous "rhombus and mountain" crest has been in place since its formation. In the 103 years since then, Japan's largest and most powerful yakuza organization, which at its peak was reputed to have "40,000 members including associate members," has split into three groups: Yamaguchigumi, Kobe Yamaguchigumi, and Ninkyo Yamaguchigumi. During this period, the organization has changed with the times, including the expansion of power by the third head, Kazuo Taoka, large-scale internal conflicts (Yamaichi War), and the enforcement of the Anti-Boryokudan Law and the Ordinance on the Elimination of Boryokudan. The author carefully traces the footsteps of the Yamaguchigumi and depicts "another image" of Japan before, during, and after World War II.
