Shoko Tendo stelesňuje paradoxné spojenie tradičnej japonskej estetiky a drsnej reality. Jej rozsiahle tetovania, zobrazujúce mytologické bytosti a scény, symbolizujú jej minulosť spojenú s yakuza a životom na okraji spoločnosti. Tendo sa venuje odhaľovaniu skrytých mechanizmov organizovaného zločinu a jeho neustálej premeny v reakcii na spoločenské tlaky. Jej písanie je svedectvom o zložitosti identity a hľadaní miesta vo svete.
