“However, while it may be true that the open-air stalls did help get the economy going again to some degree and feed some of the hungry masses (government rationing being so inadequate that a Tokyo District Court judge who refused to eat anything purchased illegally died of malnutrition), the men who ran them were anything but altruistic.”
Robert Whiting, Tokyo Underworld: The Fast Times and Hard Life of an American Gangster in Japan

“Rikidozan had come in that night with his coterie of attendants in a seriously florid state.”
Robert Whiting, Tokyo Underworld: The Fast Times and Hard Life of an American Gangster in Japan
