Making

[edit]

Mitsuo Sato spent a few weeks in San'ya before starting to record in December 1984. Day laborers just happened to have a confrontation with yakuza who wanted to control the labour market, so Sato recorded both sides of the events. On December 22 of the same year, Sato was murdered by a member of the yakuza group and right-wing organization Kokusui-kai Kanamachi-ikka Nishido-gumi (国粋会金町一家西戸組).[2]

After the murder of Sato, Kyoichi Yamaoka took over and the documentary was completed in November 1985, then premièred a month later.

Yamaoka in turn was murdered by a member of the Kokusui-kai-kei Kanamachi-ikka Kinryu-gumi (国粋会系金町一家金竜組) on January 13, 1986.

Screenings

[edit]

The film has been the focus of a "screening movement" to present the film in Japan and abroad.[3] Among other places, it has been screened at the 1997 Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival,[4] as well as in New York[5] and Kraków.[6] The film is not available on DVD (except for backup purposes) or commercialized in any format, the only way to watch it is to attend a screening.

Yamaoka's notes and essays were published as a book in 1996.[7]
