UGETSU MONOGATARI Tales of a Pale
and Mysterious Moon After the Rain
From two tales in Ugetsu
Monogatari from 1776 by Ueda Akinari
The cast:
The imagination of modern man is stimulated by the contact with
the 18th century writer Ueda Akinari and his mysterious tales in
This story has been derived
from these imaginations.
During the civil war Early spring at the
northern seashore of Lake Biwa in the Omi province
- What is that?
- They are probably executing Shibata's spies.
- I have to sell before the war starts.
- Will you be able to sell the goods in Nagahama?
Yes, the city fortress flourishes
ever since Shibata's forces arrived.
- I can't come with you, can I?
- No, not with all marauding warriors.
And then you have to take
care of little Genichi.
What a magnificent Samurai you
will be! Such grandiose plans! Fool!
Without grandiose plans one can not
come far. "Plans as big as the ocean!"
You who can't even handle
a spear or a sword!
- It can only end in misery!
- Tell me that when I have succeeded!
The warrior god shall fulfill my
dreams! -Genjuro, take me with you.
- I pull the wagon for you.
What a dreamer! He thinks the future
is waiting for him in Nagahama.
He's impossible.
- Goodbye, Miyagi.
Not knowing ones place! Not
only Tobei, but Genjuro as well!
Money earned in bad times
are as easy gone as won.
The more you earn, the greedier you get.
Above all, we must now
prepare ourselves for the war.
Tell that to Genjuro when he gets home.
Thank you very much.
It's daddy!
Welcome home!
- Here, look!
- But...?
- What is it with you?
- Did you get that much for the goods?
Just feel it! I came straight
home to show them for you.
Now at last you realize
what trading is all about.
What about Tobei?
crowd and was impossible to stop.
Dear lord!
Take me on as vassal! I will
serve you faithfully until death.
- A beggar as vassal?
- First, get yourself an armor!
- Armor and spear! Get lost!
- Do I become a samurai if I have that?
- Are you still here?
- Get yourself armor and spear!
Oh, nice! Aren't you happy now?
Nice, nice!
It's like new years eve and
midsummer at the same time!
For many years, I have wanted to buy
you a kimono. But I couldn't afford it.
At last I could! What do
you think? You look happy...
It's not because of the kimono, but for
the kindness of your heart that I'm happy.
I do not wish for anything more
than to always have you by my side.
Look!
Dried fish, oil, dried
sea cucumber, rice cakes...
Tanks to the money! Without it,
life becomes hard and wishes vain.
Well, now daddy must work.
And make even more money.
I'm going to burn as
much pottery as I can.
The last pottery we burnt gave
us a whole three silver coins.
Give it up now, we
don't need more money.
Shibata's troops might even be here
tomorrow, and by then we can't...
On the contrary. It was because of the
war that I could make such a good profit!
That doesn't mean it will turn out well the
next time. If something should happen to you...
Don't worry unnecessarily.
- Ohama?
Don't worry, no samurai would
hire a peasant dressed in rags!
He will be home soon. Please,
come in and get something warm.
Fool! Awake at last?
You look like a beggar! The
greatest fool in the village!
Give it a good spin!
Away with the kid! We won't
have time if we don't hurry.
You are in my way, please
seat yourself over there.
- Mommy, the breast.
- Damn.
Just a few turns more!
You are so impatient,
completely changed.
If we only could work
together in peace and quiet-
and live happily together all three.
Yes, that is the only thing I ask for.
- You have really worked hard now.
- Yes, because I have some plans.
In Nagahama we will get a lot of money.
- You will share it?
- Of course, you'll get a third.
Imagine just to hold that money!
I have never seen those
two work that hard!
They have filled the owen with all
they could by strength and nerve.
something should go wrong?
Me and my husband and the little
could have it nice together-
- but men are impossible when
they deal with risky business.
My husband, who was so orderly!
The war makes people change totally.
But isn't it good to make
money... What is that?
Wake up!
The rumor was right.
Shibata's troops are here!
- Do you see anything, Tobei?
- Yes. The villagers are fleeing in all directions.
- We can't close the owen now!
- They are planning to put us in forced labor.
Genichi!
Hurry up and flee!
Shibata's troops are here!
They plunder our houses
for rice and property!
All men are put into forced labor!
- They are like wolfs!
- Couldn't they have waited one night?
Hurry, hurry! It is dangerous to dawdle.
There wont be any money for
me if they destroy the owen.
back! Hurry up and get finished!
Pack some food for the mountains.
Ohama, quick!
So it is here you are hiding, rascal!
Help!
Samurai, without my husband
we wont survive! Help!
Don't stand in my way!
Help!
Dinner is ready.
We'll eat immediately.
- Where is Tobei?
- He is impossible.
- Have you seen my husband?
- No.
Who's there?
- It has calmed down a lot.
- Yes, the guns have almost all become silent.
It is dangerous to go down now.
Let's wait until the samurai are gone.
- It's better to wait!
- Don't talk rubbish!
Please, don't go! Forget about
the owen! What if they capture you?
- It must not die down!
- You can light the owen later.
- Quiet! I can't just abandon it!
- Don't go!
Damn, the fire has gone out.
Too late, it has died down.
- There might be someone hiding there.
- You take a look!
- What? Only pottery!
- Come on!
Look! They are done! What a luck!
- They are done!
- Burnt and ready.
- Are they done?
- Yes, and very nice too.
- So, are we going to Nagahama then?
- No, we take a boat across the lake.
Ohama's father was a sailor.
- You'll get to handle the boat.
Let's take the other way to the beach.
- Will we find a boat then?
- There are plenty of deserted boats there.
Be careful, the fog is thick.
Genichi, isn't the lake beautiful?
We can calm down now.
It's good we took the way over the sea. We would
probably be dead by now if we had gone over the mountains.
Tomorrow morning we
will arrive at Omizo-
- the fortified city of general Niwa.
It flourishes even more than Nagahama.
You and I will be wealthy, and
Miyagi and Ohama become rich wives.
- I will build a magazine.
- I will buy an armor.
A boat!
A boat ghost!
I'm not a ghost.
I'm a sailor from Kaizu.
I was on a trip to Azuchi with my
goods, when I was boarded by pirates.
Water!
Wherever you are going,
look out for the pirates.
If they see you-
- then both your lives and your cargo is
in danger. Not to speak about the women!
May his soul rest in peace!
Let's return! This was probably
