Review: This is NOT a yakuza book. If you want tales of killings and shootings and drug deals etc, this book isn't it. In fact the title of the book is quite misleading to be honest. This is more a book about an old fashioned yakuza who basically ran dice games from the 1920's to the 1950's. What I loved about this book though was that you get a great picture of Japan from 1910 to 1950. So for me it was really interesting to read about that and hear the stories of a man who lived throughout that time, including the great 1923 kanto earthquake. If you're after a book about the modern day yakuza then don't buy this but if you want a nostalgic stroll through early Japan then give this a read!
