Edo Porn Page #2

Where did she go?

She left after destroying me.

Leave. Stay away from her...

or I'll kill you.

Leave!

Are you still in there?

I'm coming out.

I'll go take the clogs to Tsutaya.

I see. Come home early.

Don't be late for supper.

Eating regularly is

good for the health.

Did you hear us talking?

No.

Don't you mind

your wife being so nosy?

When I married her, I promised

never to write books.

I didn't mind her being older.

Because I thought, someday I could

do what I really wanted to.

After she falls asleep, I get up and

start writing novels.

I know they can't be very good,

but I'm still trying.

Actually, I'm going to see Tsutaya

the publisher...

To show him a novel I've just finished.

I wonder who wrote it...

Don't play dumb. You wrote it.

Tell Tetsuzo about that clearly.

Understand?

Some fear to see crabs

walking sideways.

Like you.

A grown-up man, at that.

Your wife's a crab which slides along.

I'm afraid I've lost my wits.

Crabs crawl sideways.

If they walk forward, they're monsters.

I'm in a hurry. I'll be brief.

Come to Honjo in two hours.

To my father's?

What for?

Come to the garden. Promise.

What does she think I am?

Stay away from her, or you'll get hurt.

I saw Onao...

Shut up!

I wonder why you're so excited.

What was Onao to me?

I fear I might do something with her.

But I know I shouldn't

I have you as my daughter.

You get excited easily

but you cool down soon, too.

I thought you'd soon get tired of her.

What trouble!

Tetsuzo, look at yourself.

Oei, will you sit up all night and

watch over me?

Did you tell them?

Not yet.

Then I'll tell them.

Get out of here very soon, you two.

I'm too busy.

What a strange answer!

Understand, Oei?

I wonder.

With you here, my husband can't

concentrate on his work.

Writing novels isn't

for normal people.

I'm sorry.

What a shame!

I'm always doing my best for you.

But all you do is write books

using names like...

Bakin Takizawa or something.

Sashichi!

Oei!

So long!

Onao.

You're angering me. Come on out.

What brings you here?

To see Onao.

That's odd.

She said to meet her here.

Onao. Where are you?

Here.

What's happened?

How brutal!

What is?

Gosuke!

The clog-store boy.

He works for Sashichi.

Forgive me.

She duped me. She forced me to.

I'm not to blame.

You were just teasing him, right?

Nothing happened with him, right?

Please don't be so hard on

this old man. Please!

Why don't you look at me?

I've not hanged myself yet.

Not hung yourself?

My parents hanged themselves.

They were very close, though.

Did you sleep with that boy or not?

I was so bored for

the last several days.

I'll forget everything.

Live with me.

I'll give you all I have.

I don't care for honor, post or money.

Shall I leave Edo?

I'm tired of it.

I'll do farming in the country.

Stop it! You b*tch!

I'm sorry.

Onao.

Kill me!

She jilted me.

She turned me down.

She turned me down, the Shogunate

mirror-polisher!

Onao isn't here. Where did she go?

She said to come here?

What's wrong with you?

I quit. I stopped painting.

You'll be better off as merely Tetsuzo.

I'll be a clam vendor.

I'll sell red pepper too.

That's fine.

I'll forget everything.

Except for one thing:

That's Onao.

I think he's been terribly hurt...

He hanged himself!

Tetsuzo, what is this?

Buy my red pepper!

It's flavoured with spices...

Like sesame and poppy seeds.

Buy my red pepper!

Buy some!

Buy my red pepper!

It's flavoured with spices...

If it isn't Tetsuzo...

What happened?

I wonder where Father has gone...

It's flavoured with spices...

Tetsuzo, what are you doing?

Are you crazy?

It's me. It's Ikku Juppensha.

So you're at a place like this?

I looked for you.

You up and left, and never returned.

You're selling red pepper, too?

Have one.

I bought something. I'm broke.

so I sleep outdoors.

What did you buy?

At an antique store

with all the money I had...

I bought this.

It's St Nichiren.

It's Onao for me.

I think you still miss her.

I always need something to

depend on.

So, you're now able to talk about

your own weak points.

What's wrong with you?

Selling red pepper.

Did you quit painting?

You look nice.

Buy my red pepper!

It's flavoured with spices...

Shut up!

Selling red pepper?

What a blockhead!

Don't speak ill of him.

You can't be a painter.

Selling red pepper is right for you.

Angry? Then paint some

good pictures. Surprise us.

Shut up?

Stop it.

Selling red pepper is right for me.

Sashichi, I implore you...

Praise it.

He drew it while selling red pepper.

It may not sell...

But if you say it's good.

That'll encourage Father.

Just say it's good

Praising doesn't cost money.

You and he are friends

childhood friends.

Wonderful picture, isn't it?

You write books, yet don't understand

how people feel?

Tsutaya, I'm not asking you to buy

Tetsuzo's picture.

I'll pay for you. So publish it.

You may laugh this off.

But don't tell anybody that I paid for it.

Just pretend that you liked it and

published it yourself.

It's a trick but if he believes

his drawings are accepted...

It'll encourage him.

I'm a merchant.

I'll do almost anything for money.

But if I publish poor pictures

it'll damage my reputation.

Father, wake up

Tsutaya, the publisher is here.

I'm Tsutaya.

What's wrong? Can't you draw?

You've been talking big, haven't you?

I can't, Oei

I can't.

Then draw me.

When I'm smiling?

When I crying?

Or both?

Or do you want to draw me

when I'm naked?

Sit down.

Look sideways.

The lines...

Poor carving!

Do it yourself!

Are you asleep? What's this colour?

Sashichi...

Shall I massage your feet?

No, thank you.

Don't do anything.

Tell me anything you want.

Eat to get better. I'll cook for you.

I'm glad you've endured it all.

You'll soon be able to do...

what you really want to.

What?

I think you'll feel wonderful if I die.

Don't talk like that.

After I die, sell this house.

Close the clog store and

concentrate on writing.

I married you because...

I wanted you to succeed

to the family business.

I was wrong.

Eventually you failed in it.

Now that the business is gone...

you must make a good author.

Bakin Kyokutei...

I think it's a good name for you.

It sounds dignified.

"In Mourning"

I'll write!

I'll write!

Now, ladies and gentlemen...

Watch what Hokusai Katsushika

is going to draw.

Two sparrows on a tiny rice grain!

Absurd! What's he doing?

He surely has changed.

He's showing off.

Crazy! I can't stand it.

Everyone, up on the gate and see!

Who is it?

It's me.

Oei?

Were you working, Bakin Kyokutei?

Don't call me Bakin Kyokutei.

I'm Sashichi.

Just call me Sashichi.

But I came to borrow money again.

Come in.

You're working hard, aren't you?

I'm letting out what

I've saved in me all at once.

You live all alone?

An old woman comes to cook for me.

Being alone is nice. I can relax.

How is Tetsuzo doing?

He talks as big as usual.

But actually he is poor.
