Graveyard of Honor
A look at the life of renegade yakuza Rikio Ishikawa, particularly the years1946–1950, when his violent antics land him in hot water with his own clan, the Kawada, and later with the clan of his guardian, Kozaburo Imai. He has Chieko, a young Tokyo courtesan who provides him with refuge, to rely on during these years. He is exiled to Osaka, where he develops a substance abuse problem. Throughout, he keeps his friends and adversaries on edge with his erratic conduct-and he appears indestructible.
