We get just about every right wing faction leader and entourage under the red sun visiting and 'paying their respects' - and believe me some of are VERY VERY right wing.
All are accompanied by numerous bodyguards, gangsters, politicians, boxers, sumo wrestlers, old time enka singers. You name it. Reporters, gawkers, innocent bystanders *and ESPECIALLY Gaijin
are kept far away and scared off by the 20 (count em) chinpira packed black trucks blocking off all roads to my house. Coming up the road I still get a few dirty looks from newer recruits but the old timers have grudgingly come to accept me (funnily enough my being mentally unwell somehow allows them to rationalize me being here - I don't know why)
Right now there are about 60 buzz cut, black suits downstairs drinking eating and singing old time war songs with my father in law. Such fun.
I went downstairs about an hour ago to get some tea and the kitchen was full of well known kimono clad women enka singers helping my mother in law with the food and drink, place looked like backstage at the kohaku shiai
