Greetings from Asian girls
The place charges customers 5,000 yen each time, and they can watch the skirts of the girls for 40 minutes once they pay. There is a one-way glass with no physical contact between the girls and the customers.
The police operation found 30 girls, ages 16 to 18. This kind of shop is usually called JK place.
Of course, the above mentioned is just one form of Japanese JK industry. Other forms of pornography include massages for high school girls and photo sessions with female students in high school uniforms. The use of these young bodies varied, but businessmen thought the girls were doing legitimate work.
Last year, a manager at an JK store in Osaka was arrested after hiring a 17-year-old high school girl to give her clients massages, wearing only one pair of underpants and a mini skirt. There are security cameras in the waiting room of the store, and if the girls are miners or late for work and have their wages docked, it is also a way to let the girls know that they are under the management of the store.
Japan's JK industry is still thriving and social problems are coming. Even if sex addiction can be sold as a commodity, how do we know how much it costs? The two abbreviations for JK in Japan have a different meaning -- for high school girls, they tend to represent pornography. In the Japanese porn industry, a young body is a high profit, and high school girls are a synonym of high value commodities in the entire porn industry.
In the 1990s some Japanese shops sold girls wearing unwashed school uniforms with sports shorts. Later on, there came the concept of assisted communication. High school girls sold their bodies to middle-aged men in some way for financial return. Japan cracked down on this kind of business that used women to make money, but there was no end to it.
Japan's female gang members lead a miserable life and make merry
Joining the gang is a legal way of life in Japan. At the end of 2010, there were 78,600 registered members of the yakuza. In addition to the image of cruelty and coldness, a large group of tattooists, strict discipline and public activities are also abiding by their "morality".
Shinjuku holds a grand festival every November. Gang members will go out and charge protection money to businesses in the nearby red light district, and the bosses will pay to make sure everything is "safe" in the coming year. Gang members even communicate with "" clients" "via email and set up account files on computers. In a strip bar, a dancer picks up a bill stuck in a gang member's waist during a performance. The bar is slightly different in that the hostess will first drink and chat with the guests, and then choose who to perform on stage according to the charm of the guests.
Japan is the only country in the world that recognizes the legality of the gang, as long as the gang is operating under the law, it is issued with its legal permit. Each year, the Japan police department publishes a white paper detailing the number and number of yakuza in Japan.
At the end of 2010, there were 78,600 members in 22 gangs in Japan. In 2009, the yakuza organized an annual group worship in kabuki, Tokyo. Dressed in suits, they went out in groups and greeted everyone on their turf. "There is a subtle atmosphere in the street, a mix of respect, fear, anger, confusion and admiration." Since 2010, the campaign has been officially banned.
Gangsters can be found on many levels, from gambling and prostitution to political struggle as a deeply rooted part of Japanese society. "The underworld's way of making a living is to find a third way between the rule of law and the rule of man," said jiayu kato, a Japanese writer on the tour.
Japan also has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, and gangs have repeatedly spearheaded relief efforts.
Japanese gangsters all claim to be chivalrous organizations that have inherited "bushido spirit". Some of the qualities admired by Japanese society are of great significance to it, including "justice", that is, the moral obligation to seek revenge; Or "human," the ability to empathize and protect ordinary people.
The hierarchy is distinctive, loyalty is supreme, and Japanese yakuza are well organized and mature, and the group leader is generally in charge of the whole family, and there are some shaidi, cadres and ruotou under it, showing a pyramid structure.
In addition, there are regional leaders, deputies, advisers and numerous ordinary congregations, which further complicate the structure of the yakuza. Some gang families have different structures, formed by small gangs.
While tattoos have long been taboo in Japan, the yakuza have a deep tradition of tattoos. Since 1720, when tattooing was officially used as a form of punishment for criminals, a growing number of tattooed "social outcasts" have lost their social status and begun to form gangs.
In order to cover up their shame, they will tattoo more decoration on their body, gradually developed into the art of tattoo. Now, tattoos are a symbol of gang membership, and scary full-body tattoos are a status symbol.
The tattoo artist, one of Japan's few remaining tattoo masters, does not receive ordinary guests, and even gangster bosses have to stick to their schedules and have no right to decide what to get.
A tattoo artist will talk to you and decide what is right for you. The traditional full-body tattoo, which takes nearly 100 hours in total, also has painful hand piercings and costs as much as $10,000.
Japanese gangsters earn an average of 5 million to 6 million yen (about 400,000 to 500,000 yuan) a year, not much different from the working class. Because it's a violent group, they don't pay taxes.
Japan's flourishing sex industry was built by gangsters. The largest red-light district in Asia, the town of kabuki in shinjuku, Tokyo, is home to thousands of bars, adult clubs and love hotels on a square kilometer of land. City ".
To the Japanese, the town of kabuki is also synonymous with the underworld, with about 100 yakuza offices and more than 1,000 active members.
In Japan, where police have tolerated proper gang activity, both sides have struggled to maintain a tacit understanding. If someone is picking a fight on the streets of Japan, gang members usually deal with the rioters before the police arrive. If there is a murder, the gang will do its best to investigate and turn the killer over to the police.
Each time before the crackdown, senior members of the gang avoided it in advance. Given the face of the police, they usually keep a few guns for the police to "confiscate."
In the gangster culture, the meaning of "dao" lies in the meaning of "tao", which means one must bear his own mistakes, and also means the absolute obedience of subordinates to superiors. The gang members can no longer hold the sword with their fingers cut off. They need to attach themselves to the gang to survive.
The phenomenon is still widespread, with the wrongdoer cutting off his pinkie in front of the boss and other members, and then wrapping it in a cloth to show his guilt.
As well as dealing with the police, the bigger threat to Japan's gangsters is competition from their peers. In order to seize territory, the phenomenon of fire often occurs, the top gang is often kidnapped or assassinated.
In addition to strict gang rules, Japanese gangsters also protect their members' human rights. Each gang had its own legal team, and members were required to study the law to avoid trouble.
The police found a questionnaire that tested gang members. The last question was, "what should you do most in all your activities?" The standard answer is: "report to your boss and ask for advice."
With the internationalization and specialization of the gang's activities, they attach great importance to the training of their members. "excellent members" may even be sent to study abroad. Their coach was a master of the sword, skilled in the military and trained the "mujahideen" in the first Afghan war in the 1980s. He trains the gang novices in meditation, hand-to-hand combat, dagger and bodyguard skills.
After nearly two years of contact, the photographer says that the social role of the yakuza in Japan cannot be summed up in black or white, but in a gray area. They think seriously about who they are and what they should and shouldn't do.
The yamaguchi-gumi, Japan's largest gang, is just 100 metres away from the police station.
The gang's core structure is a parent-child relationship that binds all its members together. In the gangster family, the "father" USES his influence to protect the "son" while giving the "son" advice and guidance in exchange for the "son"'s complete loyalty and unconditional obedience. Japanese society's emphasis on honor and tradition has further strengthened this relationship. But this father-son relationship doesn't protect a son from punishment, such as expulsion from a gang or even amputation of his fingers, if he fails to perform the tasks assigned by his father.
Both joining the gang family and becoming father and son in the gang family require a special ritual. During the ceremony, the host pours a glass of wine for each of the new members and his eldest brother and lets each drink a little, then exchange glasses for a little more. The eldest wants to finish the drink, while the newcomer can only sip.
While many Japanese yakuza families have a distinct brand of nationalism, some gangs also incorporate Korean members. The Japanese often look down on the koreans, reinforcing the lowly status of the yakuza. South Korea's influence on Japanese gangsters has been reinforced by the lucrative smuggling trade between Japan and South Korea.
In the sopranos, women are often marginalized. Even the wives and daughters of gang members are treated a little better than the men, and sometimes they become the instruments of gang members' sexual pleasure. Women rarely hold power in gangs, but there are exceptions.
