Yakuza Moon

Shoko Tendo's unflinching memoir recounts her turbulent upbringing as the daughter of a senior yakuza boss in postwar Japan, enduring violence, addiction, self-harm and gang culture before finding a path to redemption. The intimate, tattooed testimony reveals the devastating human cost of organised crime experienced from the inside of a criminal household.
