Nice insights into 1960s post war Japan 🇯🇵🎌

Nice, period piece set in late 1960s Japan. A story which provides insights into the era and a Japan still in the throes of reconstruction after World War Two.

A Yakuza group is disbanded and many of the group's members take to 'dishonorable' crime activities.

Enter the hero and main character after an eight year stint in jail. He tries to set things right but he's clearly swimming against the tide in new, capitalist Japan.

There are several subplots, including one involving the hero's love interest. An additional subplot revolves around the hero's family members and former Yakuza members who participate in the new Japan economy in various ways - including as CEOs of construction companies.

A good movie symbolically depicting the death of traditional Japan and the rise of a new, post war Japan.
