Information Design – Yakuza
This information design project delivered its content through the format of cards. The cards explain the history, rituals, and state of the Japanese Yakuza. The symbols and format of the cards are a reference to the origin of the organised criminal group. The box which is provided to store the cards, makes the items seem taboo, like a secret, a subject that is not meant to be discussed in the open public. As shown on the images, the imperial Japanese flag and the cherry blossom are used: these are symbol of patriotism, the main belief of the Yakuza.
