Yakuza

Yakuza, also known as gokudō are members of traditional organized crime organizations in Japan. The Japanese police call them bōryokudan, while the yakuza themselves are called "ninkyō dantai." The Yakuza often participates in local festivals such as Sanja Matsuri where they often carry the shrine through the streets proudly displaying their elaborate tattoos. The Yakuza emerged as criminal associations and obeyed specific rigid rules. Over time, they began to influence various segments of Japanese society and politics. It was in the early seventeenth century that they were born, in the great urban centers of Osaka and Edo, under the aegis of the chiefs of gangs. The Yakuza groups several categories: first they were the professional players and the ambulantes. To these they joined the samurai, who from 1603, with the end of the feudal wars and the reign of the "Peace Tokugawa" for 250 years, found themselves without masters, threatened with banishment. In the social hierarchy Yakuza, beneath the samurai, artisans and merchants come hinin and eta. Yakuza, também conhecidos como gokudō são os membros das tradicionais organizações de crime organizado existentes no Japão. A polícia japonesa os chama de bōryokudan, enquanto os próprio yakuza se chamam de "ninkyō dantai". A Yakuza muitas vezes participa de festivais locais, tais como Sanja Matsuri, onde muitas vezes carregam o santuário pelas ruas orgulhosamente exibindo suas tatuagens elaboradas. Os Yakuza surgiram como associações criminosas e obedeciam a regras rígidas específicas. Com o tempo, passaram a influenciar diversos segmentos da sociedade e política japonesa. Foi no início do século XVII que nasceram, nos grandes centros urbanos de Osaka e Edo, sob a égide dos chefes de quadrilhas. Os Yakuza agrupam diversas categorias: primeiro foram os jogadores profissionais e os ambulantes. A esses uniram-se os samurais que, a partir de 1603, com o fim das guerras feudais e o reinado da "Paz Tokugawa" por 250 anos, viram-se sem mestres, ameaçados de banimento. Na hierarquia social Yakuza, abaixo dos samurais, dos artesãos e dos comerciantes vêm os hinin e os eta.
