By the way, I wonder

what brings me here?

No good. It's no good again.

What are you doing?

Look how old you are!

It's really disgusting.

Where is Onao?

She's dressing up.

She'll be back soon.

I chose the best one in the store.

Why are you so angry, Oei?

I know the Government forbids

women's heavy makeup.

And that they forbid us to wear

expensive silk clothes.

But they're going too far.

I saw some policemen stopping

women who were passing by.

They said, "you must be wearing

silk underwear."

And ordered them to show it.

Did they get you, too?

They spared me.

I was the only exception.

It's snowing.

It can't be. It's almost summer.

You're wrong. It's the dark snow.

There's a blizzard around me.

I'll be going.

Bakin's grown senile...

Hokusai's become senile at last.

Poor old man!

Oei, I'm hungry.

You've eaten just now.

I'm back.

Onao!

I remember the old days.

Thanks. See you again.

Do I look nice now?

Oei, I can draw now.

I can draw a real woman-for the

first time in my life.

Do your best, Father.

Your eyes, yes your smiling eyes!

Strip.

Strip?

I'll draw you naked.

Undress.

No! I don't want to!

I wonder where Hokusai went?

Sometimes he up and leaves.

He'll be back soon.

He left because you refused to strip.

When he comes home, undress.

Even if I don't, he can

draw birds and flowers.

Welcome home.

Welcome back, sir.

Where were you?

You're old. Don't just leave like that.

Now, strip.

Hurry, or my vision will fade.

Undress.

I wonder if he's insane...

Hurry and undress,

or the vision will fade.

Undress, just as I told you.

No. It's daytime now.

Can't be helped.

It's for Father. I'll undress.

I'm not going to draw a ghost.

I'm going to draw a big octopus...

and a small one on a woman.

Octopuses! They're alive.

This is going to be real fun.

Suppose we're on the beach.

And that a woman diver is lying

on her back unconscious.

Think of this as the diver.

She's opening her thighs, and

around her waist... like this.

The octopus moves

so does the diver.

The octopus sinks between

the diver's thighs.

Its tentacles stretch out...

I think I'll do it.

That's it!

Everyone has some desires.

You too.

Me too?

We all have our desires.

I'll do it.

It tickles.

Clammy too...

Look.

Women bend their toes backward

when they're excited.

Like this?

More strongly. Until your legs hurt.

It's hard...

I've been waiting for this,

and the time's come.

I have caught you today at last.

What a nice love nest you have!

I'll suck and suck it.

I'll take you to paradise...

Well! What an octopus!

I'm breathing hard.

I'm gasping.

Use your suckers... More...

What I want to draw is...

Not the octopuses

violating the woman.

Instead, a picture of the woman

fondling octopuses.

This is a masterpiece, Father.

Show me.

It's very good. It's excellent.

Oei, you must remember this:

My real masterpiece will be...

Not the Thirty-six Views of Mt Fuji.

But the various phases of women

who have desires.

I'll draw them, so there's no mistake.

Damn it! I wish I were young.

Damn it!

You worked so hard.

I'll massage you!

What kind of boat is it?

A boat made of a bamboo leaf.

I sent the boat as far as China.

Do you know what they gave me

when I came home?

A jewel box. A mirror.

And beautiful clothes.

Do you know

whom those gifts were for?

They're for Oharu, the girl I love.

Where is she?

She went to visit her family grave.

We were all children once.

Children never get tired of anything.

I envy them.

Bakin, are you totally blind now?

Can you tell?

I'm not over there. I'm here.

Here I am...

I'll catch you. Don't cheat.

I've caught you.

I'm glad you could catch me.

You deliberately let me

catch you right?

Yes. I don't want to tell you lies.

I'm glad I came. I'm glad I'm here.

Though blind, you came

all the way to see us?

I made up my mind

never to go home again.

I'm tired of living.

I'm from a samurai family.

I'll commit harakiri

as a samurai should.

Harakiri?

I'm hungry.

With my eye trouble, my brain and

mind are both in darkness.

Even though I try to write,

I can't think of a word.

Being like this, I'm no longer

Bakin Takizawa.

I'm nobody.

I'm just Sashichi, a dotard.

Don't spoil yourself.

Oei, kick him out.

Death, get out!

I still have lots of things

to do while I'm alive.

No matter how old you may be...

It's better to live miserably than to

die a peaceful death.

I realize how it is - at last.

You love Bakin.

That's why you've never been married.

Come on. Make love with him now.

That's not the proper way

to talk to your daughter.

I thought you'd waste

your life for my sake.

But I know now what you really did.

What he said - is it true?

Yes.

Just as Father loved only Onao...

you were all I had.

I didn't know...

That such a good person as you

was before me.

I spend up my life.

Just coming and going between my

study and the publisher.

Get out, the two of you.

I disown you.

I have Onao with me.

I'll take care of him.

Actually...

I'm the sort of woman who has

something dirty and awful in me.

I always want to do something

others hate to do.

For example, while showing you

the way...

Saying this way is shorter...

I'd let you drop into a drain.

That's how I feel.

When Utamaro was popular, while

my father was still unknown...

I thought I'd inform on Utamaro...

And have him jailed

for his pornography.

Don't let me drop...

I decided to leave my father...

Because I know he'd die,

exhausted by the young Onao.

I'd like to watch him die.

Hokusai, keep working.

Your pornography sells well.

Draw anything - octopuses or eels.

Draw a picture a day.

Continue it for a year.

Then I'll marry you.

I wonder what's happened.

I can't get excited.

I can't feel that inspiration...

Something like burning flames.

Oei...

Bring me the box.

Open it.

They're yours.

You can live on them all your life

even though...

It may not be very long.

I was born poor and

I'm used to poverty.

So much money means nothing to me.

Use the money for your father's

funeral or something.

You're really kind, aren't you?

My life has been...

A joy, because I could meet him.

A real joy.

Was it a joy to have met me, too?

Of course.

Oei, I feel cold.

Will you come in here and

warm me up?

I've already built a grave for myself.

I've written a death poem, too.

Fleeing from all the worldly evils...

I'll return to soil...

like a broken mud doll.

How do you like it?

Do you think it's too logical...

Just like my novels?

I wanted to die...

Pressed against the

soft body of a woman.

Oei, you are old now.

but you still have soft skin.

Naturally. I'm not married.

I'm still a virgin.

Ohyaku, I'll come to you before long.

Everything has gone as I planned.

From the beginning to the end.

May I suck on your breasts?

Yes, as much as you want.

Are you excited?

Reality first?

I wanted to show you

something realistic.
