Satsujin, Japanese murderers and serial killers

Miyazaki Tsutomu, Shiraishi Takahiro or Eto Sachiko... These names may not mean anything to you, but they are murderers who have terrorized Japan. The criminal history of this country, rightly regarded as one of the safest in the world, is interspersed with some of the most vicious serial killers and mass murderers of the "civilized" world. Are they the morally impaired children of a Japanese society locked in outdated social codes, or are they the local representatives of a worldwide phenomenon?

Satsujin, Japanese murderers and serial killers offers a mesmerizing insight into the minds of these criminals while examining the social and family workings of a nation that, for fear of moral judgement, is still hiding the existence of these psychopaths. Forget what you thought you knew about Japan and its pop culture: this panorama of hell will make you discover the full extent of the horror of some of the cruelest murderers of the land of the Rising Sun.
