Floating Weeds Page #2

"This is our last night in Mt Akagi

"I'm leaving my home village

of Kunisada...

"... and my territory

"I have to leave you, too,

my loyal men

"This is the last

of my Kunisada group

"To think of it...

"... the breeze sounds lonely

"A flock of geese...

"... flying to the south

"The moon is setting

behind the western hills

"Where shall I go now?

"Where my legs will carry me...

"I'll be roaming aimlessly

to the end of the world

"Boss!

"That's Brother Enzo

"Stout-hearted as he is...

"... he must feel lonesome

to leave home

"You, noted sword...

"... thoroughly tempered by

the famous Yoshikane of Kaga...

"... and cleansed in the brook

from the perpetual snow

"You, at least, my right will guard

"Though all the world betrays me,

you'll be with me, faithful one

"The geese are flying away

"The crow must lament for me"

Great performance

Look!

The barber's daughter

Which one?

Do you see an old dame

with a towel on her head?

Behind her.

Munching on a bun now

What a big mouth she has!

Which one is your find?

Is she here?

She's out there.

That one

The one who's smoking now

She's cute

A real find, too.

And mine?

Your girl isn't here

She's cuter, mind.

Not my taste, though

Really? I can't wait...

Watch out

They may see you

They liked it, eh?

Full house?

Not very...

...for an opening

It'll work. I'm sure

Do you think so?

Yes.

Remember the last stand?

Why are you

so pessimistic these days?

Don't you worry

And mark my words

I'm sure

Where do you go after that scene?

I climb down the mountain

And after climbing down?

Don't you see?

I come straight to you

No kidding

I'm not kidding at all

Here he comes

Welcome

- Hello

- Come in here

It's hot, eh? It's sticky

Where's my girl?

Don't worry. She'll come

Come to see the Master?

He's gone out

Let's have a drink

Hurry Yae, your man's impatient

Hello, darling. How's the big boy?

- This one?

- Your taste

Just joking

No good?

- Stop joking

- What are you talking about?

Look at me

I'm freezing to death

Have a drink, then

You're awfully reliable, Kichi

Nice man

How?

You son of a...

I'm on the spot. Am I sad?

- Why so sad?

- Shut up

- My mama's dead

- Really?

I'm catching a chill

Get warmed up

- Welcome

- Hi

Doing your stuff?

Hi, come in

What's your name?

Katsuko

Cute name

A real find, Senta.

Have a good time

I'll be seeing you

- So long

- So long

Do come again

Senta

Hey, Senta. Brace up

"Though all the world betrays me"

Give me sake. Hurry!

Oh, you big hunk

More sake sold, Master

All right

Afternoon

- Hello

- Where's your dad?

He's out now

Out? It's hot, eh?

Did you come to see him?

Well, not exactly

I came to see you

Cad!

I'm serious

Just feel how my heart is thumping

Mama! Mama!

What is it?

What happened?

What do you want?

I wonder if I can have

my face shaved

Aiko, go inside

Come over here

OK:

I'm afraid I haven't much beard yet

I may not need a shaving

I think not

Sit down

Thank you

They don't bite at all, Uncle

Be patient. Take your time

You'll get sunstroke.

Put this on your head

I'm OK

I think you overdid it

I'm afraid your performance

was too hammy

Nonsense

It was all right

But that character

is unrealistic, isn't it?

What's that?

It's too unreal

Don't be silly

He's a man of old times

You don't understand.

A fossil

What are you talking about,

wise guy?

My audience likes my performance...

...whether it's hammy or not

You lack progressive spirit

Stop talking about the theatre

Look...

...I've lost my bait again

I hear you want to go to college?

Yes

Nothing better than studying

But your mother will be lonely

Doesn't matter

It does.

Imagine how she'd feel

Think of her

She approves of it...

...so it doesn't matter

Yes, it does

Don't make her cry.

She's a good mother

Aren't you clumsy?

Is the bath hot enough?

It was. I'm done now

Fetch some water

I feel so refreshed

- Master isn't back yet?

- No

Where did he go?

- He went fishing

- Fishing?

Yes. I was having my face shaved

at the barber's

I saw him pass with a young man

A young man?

Didn't you know?

A mail clerk,

I saw him in the mirror

What happened to your face?

I got cut at the barber's

Take a bath, Kayo,

as the Master is late

Well... then...

Eat, folks. Supper's ready

Get up Grandpa, and eat

You're back

Where have you been?

I was with the boys

Good catch?

Fish

Did you catch many, Kichi?

Sure

And he caught a swellfish.

A great big puffer, too

- A good catch

- We enjoyed it, eh?

See you later

- Were you really together?

- With whom?

- With the boys

- Yeah

- Where did you go?

- Fishing

I see.

Who was the young man with you?

One of my patron's sons

A mail clerk?

Who told you that?

Never mind

I don't

Who told you?

You seem worried

- Why? It's strange

- What is?

Are you feeling guilty?

About what?

Ah, I see. You're jealous

Stop it, silly, stop it

Why should I fool around

when I have you?

I'm an old man, silly

I'm not young any longer.

You know me. Don't you?

You old sinner

You must know something

Why don't you tell me?

I won't quote you...

...to anyone

What do you know?

Speak up

Watch out, Masa!

You've known the Master for years

You ought to know

You came here with him

before my time

So tell me.

I'm begging you. Please

I can't help it

Can't help what?

What can't be helped?

And why?

He's bound to see...

...his old flame

Really?

Just what I thought

Who is she?

What is she?

What kind of girl?

What does she look like?

Better ask Robusaburo

He knows her too?

I see

And Roku knows about it too?

- Can you stand this, Master?

- Stand what?

Such an empty house

Why did we have to come here?

What is it, Roku?

She's out there

I see

- Where?

- That one

In front of that pillar back there

With a fan

Thanks, Roku.

I'll buy you a drink

What an insult!

What's up?

It's terrible

What are you grumbling

about so tediously?

You can't help en empty house,

when it's empty

Rain?

Is that rain?

Yes

It's raining, Master

Gosh, misfortunes

never come alone

Swift is Heaven's vengeance!

What are you hinting at?

Stop complaining

You're tedious

I have enough of a headache already

Serves you right.

I knew this would happen

Hey! Behave yourself!

Wait a minute

Again?

Let me see

Here

- Are you sure?

- Yes

Check

Wait a sec.

What shall I do? Wait a sec

No, I can't

Whoa, whoa

I have a dilemma

Suppose I dodge

You'll come...

No good, either

Hurry up, will you?

Whoa

Hurry up

Hold your jaw

Here

Good afternoon

Give me a sake

Certainly

- Tell me...

- Yes?

Is Master Komajuro

from my troupe here?

Yes, he is

I'm anxious to see him

Certainly

Listen

What?

A visitor

Who?

Wait here,

as I'll defeat you this time

I don't mind fixing a game for you

What are you saying?

I was pleasing you, mind

Don't mess with the men

What do you want?

What is it?

I can't come here?

What?

So the proprietress here

was your important patron?
