Yakuza at play

I went to the river on the weekend and a group of Yakuza were also swimming there, which is highly unusual. Traditionally they are meant to keep their tattoos ( or Irezumi in Japanese ) out of sight, and its even rarer to see a group of them all showing their tattoos at a public place. Japan is changing slowly. I decided to sneakily capture a few minutes of footage, Although I have my own full back and arms Irezumi and am very interested in the underground Irezumi culture in general and I know others are too. Its a rare event to see them out in the open like this.
