You hate to draw us?

Indifferent?

How boring! What's the

matter with you?

Have a nice time.

Poor old man!

He's like a mere shadow.

Are you stopping?

I'm kind of disappointed.

What a shame!

He missed the chance

to draw pornography.

Hurry.

Hey, Oei!

He believes he's calling me.

Here I am! I'm coming!

Fleeing from all the worldly evils...

I'll return to soil...

like a broken mud doll.

What a bad poem!

Bakin kept on putting

on airs until he died.

When it comes to that,

my death poem is...

Now listen. I've thought of

one just now.

Listen.

As a spirit, I'm passing through

a field in summer.

A field in summer is the point.

I decided to die in the summer

when I'm 101.

I'm 90 now. It's time to

quit making pornography.

I have no time to play around

with young girls.

I'm going to study European-style

painting for five years.

I'll master it when I'm

between 95 and 99.

When I'm 100...

Then I'll be able to draw pictures

I really like myself.

I can hardly wait until then.

I feel excited.

Oei!

I wonder where she is...

Father, what are you doing?

You're dirty. Your clothes are torn, too.

You can't do a thing without me.

Serves you right!

Seems Onao ran out on you.

Preparing for the festival?

The Torigoe Shrine's festival

is coming.

So is the Goddess of the Mercy's.

I'm glad I moved to Asakusa.

I'm the son of a poor peasant.

I had to work on the empty land.

So I wanted very badly to

live in the busy town of Edo.

Mother...

At a theater very near here...

They're presenting a

Nanboky Tsuruya play.

It's popular.

I wish I could take you there.

I don't think there's anyone

who'd remember me.

Someone is calling me.

St. Nichiren!

Glory to the Lotus Sutra!

You helped me a lot.

As long as I believed in you

you always watched over me.

You're smart.

You haven't prayed to him

for years have you?

Thank you very much for giving

Onao back to me.

Go to bed now.

I will, Onao.

St Nichiren, actually, I want

you to give back to me.

Oei, rather than Onao.

I want Oei to carry me

on her back on a trip.

For a woman,

she was quite strong.

I'm 70 now. You still want me

to slave for you?

I'm beginning to be like Bakin.

I can't see well. The landscape is

fading in the distance.

Perspective!

Trying to be funny?

This is bad. It's because I wrote my

death poem too soon.

I should have drawn a picture instead.

I made a mistake.

A forlorn spirit like this

in a field in summer.

It wanders here and there,

flying in the wind.

It'll sell.

I can buy you something then.

Onao, bring me my brush.

You're Oei.

You made a big mistake, eh?

If you were married...

You could be enjoying a happy

life with your grandchildren.

It's getting dark.

If Heaven allows me...

to live 10 years longer.

5 years will be enough.

If Heaven permits me...

to live for 5 more years.

I'll be able to become a true artist.

He died.

They all say something nice...

when they are dying...
