Third edition published by Zabrozas in 2016, this signed copy with 2 posters is a gripping photobook offering unprecedented access to the Shinseikai yakuza clan, who control Tokyo's infamous Kabukicho red-light district. Through intimate, full-color images captured over two years (2009–2011), Belgian photographer Kusters—teaming with his brother Malik—documents the daily rituals of these feared figures: private onsen meetings, funerals, training camps, and quiet moments of camaraderie. Foreword by Magnum's David Alan Harvey, this softcover blends humanistic insight with raw subcultural immersion, a collector's landmark of organized crime portraiture.
