A former Yakuza member who has had to cut off his little and ring finger as punishment for breaking the ‘code of conduct’ shows off his prosthetics. In the East Asian nation a chopped off pinkie signifies a membership of the Yakuza, the feared Japanese mafia, who are required to sever their own fingers to pay for offenses to the organisation. For the past ten years, Shintaro Hayashi has been making prosthetic pinkies for members of the Yakuza who want to disguise their background in the underworld.
"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
