893239 (original) (raw)

893239 or Yakuza-Nijūsan-Ku (ヤクザ23区) is the project name for a collection of short films based on Yakuza (Japanese Mafia) and 23 ku (区, special wards) in Tokyo, Japan. Each clip is about 5–18 minutes long and is shot by a different director with his own crew from various backgrounds. The project covers almost all the 23 wards in Tokyo with an extra episode shot in the City of Torrance (which has the biggest Japanese population in the continental US) in Los Angeles County. This project was promoted through its official website with trailers and through YouTube where each entire movie is shown.
