Seiji Kurata's first photo book and an incredible work in the history of Japanese photography. Here Kurata seeks out the dark side of Tokyo that unflinchingly documents yakuza, youth gangs, gambling dens and street people. The cover image sets the tone with a heavily tattooed yakuza brandishing a samurai sword.
