Edo Porn Page #2

Something nice happened last night.

Let's drink to it.

Something nice?

I'll tell you. Stop working.

I visited Master Kano's last night.

The master was painting.

A picture of a child trying

to get some persimmons.

The persimmon branch was

as high as this.

And the end of the pole the child was

holding was much higher.

Yet he was standing on tiptoes.

That's odd. The tree should

have been much taller.

I told Kano about it

Then he became angry.

Get out!

He kicked me out.

He got upset, because

I put him to shame.

Wait a minute, Father.

He might have been trying

to paint an awkward child.

Or how innocent children were.

There are many ways of painting.

If paintings are too logical,

they are boring.

Right.

Your pictures don't sell, because

yours are just a collection of...

something you stole from the others.

Yours are too perfect.

Yes. That can be true.

Thank you. Thank you.

Damn it! A shower again!

Go eat something.

Seems you don't want me here.

Clog man, will you leave us alone?

This is his house.

I don't mind.

You too, boy.

Me too?

Onao's come to see me

almost every night.

We drink together.

I washed her.

We almost went to bed together.

Excuse me.

But just before the critical together.

She disappeared...

leaving a mysterious smile.

Made yourself up to look young?

I miss Onao-so badly

I can't just sit and wait.

It's the same with me.

I can't forget her beautiful body.

I'm painting nothing but pornography...

Where she's being raped.

Ironically, some say this pornography is

the best of the work I've done.

Where did she go?

She left after destroying me.

Leave. Stay away from her...

or I'll kill you.

Leave!

Are you still in there?

I'm coming out.

I'll go take the clogs to Tsutaya.

I see. Come home early.

Don't be late for supper.

Eating regularly is

good for the health.

Did you hear us talking?

No.

Don't you mind

your wife being so nosy?

When I married her, I promised

never to write books.

I didn't mind her being older.

Because I thought, someday I could

do what I really wanted to.

After she falls asleep, I get up and

start writing novels.

I know they can't be very good,

but I'm still trying.

Actually, I'm going to see Tsutaya

the publisher...

To show him a novel I've just finished.

I wonder who wrote it...

Don't play dumb. You wrote it.

Tell Tetsuzo about that clearly.

Understand?

Some fear to see crabs

walking sideways.

Like you.

A grown-up man, at that.

Your wife's a crab which slides along.

I'm afraid I've lost my wits.

Crabs crawl sideways.

If they walk forward, they're monsters.

I'm in a hurry. I'll be brief.

Come to Honjo in two hours.
