Edo Porn Page #3

What about his huge pictures?

Don't they make money?

No. Paper costs too much.

He likes to show off.

He's unhappy now.

He used to be timid.

To get some money

I draw for children's toys and kites.

So does he, using my name.

When someone goes up

in the world too fast...

He often becomes like that.

My pictures of the Sumida River...

They sell well. I'm going to hold

a geisha party to drink to them.

Thanks, but I'm busy.

I'm not inviting you.

You just make me nervous.

I came to borrow.

I must get my clothes out of pawn.

I refuse.

Lend me something.

I'm working now.

I see. I've made up my mind too.

I'll draw no more illustrations

for your novels.

They sell because

my illustrations are good.

I don't think so!

I'll break with you.

You've broken with everybody.

You have no friends now.

Father, he's right.

Why are you siding with him?

All you write is didactic novels.

They're unrealistic.

I hate evil.

Look. Public Bath -

Sanba Shikitei wrote it.

He went to the public baths to write it.

To be naked to take a bath.

It's a matter of due course.

Even Buddha does it.

When you fart in the water...

Bubbles rise, Hubble-bubble.

I read it, too.

Just minor realism.

Sanba is supposed to be talented.

But I don't appreciate him.

I see nothing interesting in farting.

Even Buddha farts in the bath.

That's good.

I disagree.

Lend me some money.

No.

Then I'll steal it. I know

where you're hiding it.

No, you mustn't do that, Father.

You're like a robber.

What a shame!

After tonight's orgy,

I'll set out on a trip to Mount Fuji.

I'll draw Mt. Fuji.

How can I live then, with those debts?

Sashichi will help you.

I'll tell him the truth.

Stop it.

Your pictures were published, because

someone paid Tsutaya.

What's that? Who on earth

paid Tsutaya for me?

Who else?

Onao.

Onao?

She sent me some money

during her trip.

I think she heard you were poor.

You're lying!

Where is she now?

Tell me!

Utamaro was arrested.

Handcuffed for 50 days.

They say he made a fool

of the Shogunate.

A false charge!

If Utamaro was jailed

will Tsutaya be punished too?

How awful!

Does the Shogunate want us to stop?

It seems I'm a hypocrite.

I paid the publisher for Tetsuzo.

And I said it was Onao's doing.

Just to please myself.

I know it's awful.

My novels betray it.

I must rewrite my novels.

I'm sorry. I'll do anything for you.

I'll do as you say.

It's very nice of you.

Excuse me, I'll put down the bedding.

I'm used to this.

I'm almost 40. I'm mature.

I'll lose energy as I get old.

I must finish what I want to do.

I know how you feel.

My late wife told me to do my best.

I don't mind, but the world

may think differently.

I don't think you'll talk about this.

Proceed, Oei.

The reader of my novels...

May think I'm writing,

seated straight at a neat desk.

Actually I get the idea of

what to write while lying in bed.

Now, will you help me with my work?

I don't see well these days.

I can't write fast.

Continued to Crescent Moon Part V.

Write it in a corner.

Is she a deity or a woman?

Spelling doesn't matter.

I'll correct it later.

Much though I hate to admit it,

I'll need Tetsuzo's illustrations.

As beautiful as a moon.

As gentle as a willow tree.

I don't know how to describe her.

She has the beauty of every flower.

Oei, how old are you?

How old am I? About 24, I think.

It's time to get married.

I'm too old.

In a way.

But Ikku said I was mature.

He's always sarcastic.

You get married.

Being a widower isn't too good.

Unlike Tetsuzo, I like to do the

household affairs myself.

I'm rather feminine.

Your wife could live an easy life.

Good women never

expect such things.

Women don't always mean

what they say.

I was married, you know.

I'll go wash my hands.

I've been in love with him.

I'll never mention it.

I'll drink up.

What's wrong with women drinking?

South Wind in a Clear Sky.

Thirty-six Views of Mt Fuji.

They aren't much.

Only a few of them are acceptable.

Which one do I like best?

Decide yourself.

To tell the truth,

I think of Mt Fuji as myself.

I sit magnificently and

look down on people's lives.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa.

I've walked long.

But my true life is just beginning.

I'm only 89.

Tenement House in Asakusa.

Utamaro, Sanba Shikitei

Ikku Juppensha...

They all passed away.

All the interesting ones are gone.

It's marvelous.

I went to the employment agency

for help in my doll-making.

My side-job. I met her there.

Don't pull me like that.

Calm down and listen to me.

My home village was ruined

in the famine and...

Now I remember. You're Onao.

Well! How do you know my name?

Onao must be very old by now.

She'd be older than me.

I'll be fortunate if

I can work for Hokusai.

His pictures are very popular.

He's drawing for

a festival float now.

Are you from Obuse in Shinshu?

How do you know?

A scholar named Kozan Takai?

He's the greatest man there.

I've been there with my father.

My father drew for the floars there.

I don't understand.

Hurry and take me to Hokusai.

Onao!

I've missed you so.

What a nasty old men!

To her, the master Hokusai is nothing.

Hokusai?

Is he Hokusai?

I can't believe.

Have you really forgotten Tetsuzo?

You see? His name is Tetsuzo.

The great Hokusai couldn't be

living in a dirty sty like this.

Excuse me.

You came at the right time, Bakin.

Say my name.

Hachiyemon Miuraya.

That's true. But how do they

usually call me?

Picture-maniac.

Come on!

Then Tamekazu or something.

I'll knock you down.

You've already changed

your name thirty times.

Have you found yourself

a new name again, Hokusai?

Hokusai. It's come out at last.

Hokusai.

I'm sorry. I realize even a

great man sometimes forgets.

Bakin, don't you think

she's like Onao?

Onao?

Who is Onao? I've forgotten.

Oei, make her like

the Oano of years ago.

Dress her up.

We've no money.

Will you lend us some?

I heard you were always carrying

all the money you had on you.

I refuse. I'm old and money is the

only thing I can depend on.

Your nephew said he wanted

to be my disciple, right?

So what?

If you give me ten gold pieces...

he can use my name- Hokusai.

Welcome.

Some good kimono for her.

Here's some money.

What are you doing? Show them

some good kimono.

Welcome.

Thirty-six Views of Mt Fuji.

Hokusai Cartoons.

Visit to the Waterfalls.

They are all splendid works.

I'm very certain of that.

I almost go insane when

I think I'll be totally blind.

I use many Chinese characters.

If I dictate to some disciple...

He'll only use cursive kana characters.

Hello.

Hokusai, will you pay the rent?

It's three months due.

If you don't, I'll kick you out.

I will. Today I will.

Bakin, pay it for me.

The rent for three months.

Strange old man!

Something wrong with me?

No, nothing.

It's too much.

Just take it.

I hope it's not fake.

It's real.

Thank you very much.

Are you one of the

hopeless painters, too?

There is something!

Getting hard after all these years.
