Diamonds Under a Black Light

Tokyo Underworld: The Fast Times and Hard Life of an American Gangster in Japan by Robert Whiting,

"A fascinating look at some fascinating people who show how democracy advances hand in hand with crime in Japan."--Mario Puzo In this unorthodox chronicle of the rise of Japan, Inc., Robert Whiting, author of You Gotta Have Wa, gives us a fresh perspective on the economic miracle diamonds under a black light and near disaster that is modern Japan. Through the eyes of Nick Zappetti, a former GI, former black marketer, failed professional wrestler, bungling diamond thief who turned himself into "the Mafia boss of Tokyo diamonds under a black light and the king of Rappongi," we meet the players diamonds under a black light and the losers in the high-stakes game of postwar finance, politics, diamonds under a black light and criminal corruption in which he thrived. Here's the story of the Imperial Hotel diamond robbers, who attempted (and may have accomplished) the biggest heist in Tokyo's history. Here is Rikidozan, the professional wrestler who almost single-handedly revived Japanese pride, but whose own ethnicity had to be kept secret. And here is the story of the intimate relationships shared by Japan's ruling party, its financial combines, its ruthless criminal gangs, the CIA, American Big Business, diamonds under a black light and perhaps at least one presidential relative. Here is the underside of postwar Japan, which is only now coming to light.

Black light - Black light is the common name for a lamp emitting almost entirely long wave ultraviolet radiation and very little visible light. Fluorescent black lights are typically made in the same fashion as normal fluorescent lights except that only one phosphor is used and the normally clear glass envelope of the bulb is replaced by a deep bluish purple glass called Wood's glass, a nickel oxide, cobalt oxide-doped glass which blocks virtually all visible light above 400 nanometers.

Black light puppet - Invented by Mitchell Lang of WA Australia, the black light puppet is a form of puppetry. They are done in a black light theatre.

Black dwarf - A Black Dwarf constitutes the remains of a Sun-sized star which has evolved to a white dwarf and subsequently cooled down such that it no longer emits visible light. None are known to exist in our universe, as the time taken for a white dwarf to cool to such a degree is hypothesized to be longer than the lifespan of the universe to date.

Black Comedy - Black Comedy is a one-act play by British dramatist Peter Shaffer, first performed in 1965. The play is, suitably enough, a black comedy in which the effect loss of light would have on a group of people who all hold things from each other is explored; as such, its title is a pun.
