She'll never look back.

Do you want to see her face?

You need to learn your place.

I've seen it.

Shoot me.

You might be able

to see her face.

Where were you?

Have I got a hole in my forehead?

Then you wouldn't be alive, silly.

You're weird.

That was scary!

I can smell it.

Smell what?

Can't you?

Smell what?

How pitiful, yet loveable

it is to live.

I don't get it.

The smell of man.

Are you going home?

No.

- I'm going to Kanazawa.

- So far away?

I'm eloping.

A rendezvous at a spa

near Kanazawa.

No!

Virginhood...

Schiller, Mischa...

Beardsley...

Cats...

What are you muttering about?

A train.

I have to get going.

- Thanks.

- Don't move!

Don't worry.

I'll pay you for all this.

I hope she shows up.

I hope she shows up.

To elope with you.

Kanazawa is far away.

Very far away.

I'll be Off.

I'm not going.

Ripe hazelnuts falling...

Physique...

You aren't eloping?

Pervert!

As she turned over,

he saw her crotch

It was dark, like an aubergine

Like an aubergine

You call this eloping?

- Where are you from?

- Niigata, why?

You have large hands,

like a farmer.

Don't get me wrong.

I like women with big hands and feet.

To elope with?

Was your eloping a joke?

She's sick.

She's 22.

She's called Hikino Kasai.

Suffering from TB.

She couldn't be a farmer.

How to eat tempura soba!

First, have a drink with tempura.

Then you eat the soba.

You're funny today.

Mean sometimes.

Then all cute.

Stay with me tonight.

I told you.

I'm busy eloping.

You really mean it?

I'm going back to Tokyo

to find out if she's serious.

You sketched me.

Can I have it?

Tempura, a whore

Saba, Salome

A head, a flower

You'll never appear in a poem.

When the moon is full

Make love, or go to hell

The fiends will grind you

And eat you alive

Are those chatty women geisha?

Yes. They're always first here.

And after them

come young ladies

from the neighbourhood.

I'm quite impressed.

Don't you remember me?

I've been here before.

Sorry, where are you from?

High society?

Hardly.

I understand...

Miss Kasai always comes

at this time of the day.

Yes.

Is she coming today?

Yes. She comes every day at 4:00.

Thanks.

To Kanazawa?

No.

I was on the way...

but I was afraid.

You got a fever.

Leave us alone.

Your father watches you

all the time.

That's why we're running away.

You said so.

Miss Hikino!

Can't we be alone?

It's impossible.

For half an hour,

while you're in the bath.

But...

Your maid can bathe alone.

I can't ask her to do that.

All right. I Will.

Wait. Very well.

I'll sort it out, somehow or other.

Wait for me at the usual place.

Has your fever gone?

You're hot.

Hotter here.

I want to talk. Tell me.

Why are you still in Tokyo?

I came to take you with me.

I can't just sit and wait

at some distant spa.

I'll come. Trust me.

Come with me now.

I can't. Not now.

When, then?

Soon.

Within ten days.

No, not today.

Be quiet.

My hair will get messy.

You're taking a bath.

Wash your hair.

A man of your repute

ought to know better.

You should behave.

You can do what you like to me

once we're there together.

Not here.

It's Yumeji Takehisa.

Ticket from Yokohama

Lunch receipt

Famous Spots in Okazaki

Kanazawa

Fish for sale!

Are there bears around here?

No.

Strange.

I thought I heard a shot.

A gunshot?

They're searching in the mountains.

Didn't you know?

No. I only got here yesterday.

Really?

There was a murder

on the other side of the mountain.

A murder?

A man killed a woman

and fled into the mountains.

Killed a woman?

So they're looking for him?

He cut a policeman's neck

who tried to catch him.

Dead?

So they say.

But it's quiet here.

It happened in another district,

not ours.

The border goes through the lake.

Were you looking for me?

What?

Weren't you?

No, I wasn't.

Trying to pull me down?

No. I was trying to save you.

I thought you were a dead man

floating up from the bottom.

A dead man?

You're completely covered

in cow's blood.

I'll make a bath for you.

Cow's blood?

I'm Mrs Tomoyo Wakiya.

Some clothes for you.

Help yourself.

What's your name?

You look just like my ex-wife.

Yes.

Where's the lady of the house?

She's not feeling well.

She's in bed.

There's a ranch

on the slope of the mountain.

They slaughter cattle there

once a month.

The floor of the slaughterhouse

is covered with blood.

They wash it away into the lake.

The colour of it was very bright.

So that was blood.

I was very scared

when you appeared from the water.

Not of you.

Don't be.

Look, I'm warm.

You haven't changed.

Not at all.

Have we ever met before?

No, I wouldn't forget

a beauty like you.

You were in the newspaper.

They say you're a public enemy.

Yumeji Takehisa.

You know me then.

I'm a lady-killer, a pervert. Right?

They're hunting again.

Maybe not. Maybe my husband

shot some cattle.

He gets his kicks that way.

He aims at them from afar.

I see. You're married.

But...

...he's dead.

He must be.

He drowned in the lake.

So you mistook me for him.

Was this his?

You don't mind wearing

a stranger's clothes?

No, I don't mind at all.

It still smells like you.

I washed it again and again

even though no one had ever worn it.

What a waste of time.

It couldn't possibly smell of a woman.

Then it's the smell of blood?

Didn't you wash it in the lake?

- The water might look clean...

- Mr Takehisa.

You're going too far.

True beauty has a charm,

even when sick or angry.

Mr Takehisa?

And who are you?

- I'm with the police.

- Great, the police.

Ah, you're innocent

in the treason case. Don't worry.

You denied that traitor Shusui.

The investigators believed you.

So forget it.

Where did you come from?

Be careful.

You know that we're after a man.

He might come down on this side.

If you run into him...

He has a scythe.

It's very sharp.

Neighbour Senmatsu

went to the Battle of Omi

But he hasn't returned

even after a year

Are you mocking me?

No.

I suddenly recalled a song

I'd almost forgotten.

The victim is still in the lake.

Even after two years

If you run into him...

- Where did you come from?

- That way.

You mean that way?

The Wakiya mansion.

After three years

his head finally showed up

Just be careful.

Look at me.

Only I can reproduce

your beauty.

Look at my face.

Strip.

I see no poetry in you.

I can't sketch you!

Ah, despair!

Strip!

Sketch me, if you can.

The women you draw are lifeless.

Your pictures are vulgar.

They're vulgar.

I am Yumeji.

I do whatever I want and turn it
