Hokusai (2020) - full transcript
There are several iconic paintings in Japan depicting scenes of nature and the times. Several of these have become famous world-wide. Several of these are the works of Hokusai. However, the artist was not always famous or in-demand. In fact, he was struggling. He has the urge to throw in the towel, but persists. Once older he is still trying to improve and reach the pinnacle for his profession.
Under the influence of the Tokugawa Shogunate's Sakoku policy
Began the blossoming of a unique Japanese town culture in
a long-lasting period of peace and prosperity
Among the many books were gorgeous ukiyo-e paintings
That enjoyed great popularity among the commoners
However, in the midst of the free tide of the townspeople's culture
The Tokugawa Shogunate's prestige was shaken and the Shogunate
called entertainment the source of the country's degradation.
The publishers and artists were deprived of their
creative freedom and were severely suppressed.
Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
Get out of the way. Get out of the way.
Get out of the way
Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
Please stop
Don't interfere
Grandpa! Grandpa!
Let go, Master
Please stop. Please stop.
Master of Koshu-do Shigesaburo Tsutaya
Repeatedly disobeying advice
Breaking the ban
Indiscriminate opening and printing of books
Blatant painting of folklore
It's outrageous
-Do it! -Yes!
Let's go!
Moving in.
Chapter One.
Even when it's dirty like this
The charm is still intact
As expected of a kamaro
Yes
Thanks to them
The tree is a great attraction
In other words
The above has been confirmed
We're one of the top publishers in Edo
Edo's number one painter and playwright
I trained them all
It's so much fun
This is timely rain
Now all of Edo will be watching our work
As they say, if you don't break it,
you don't stand it.
-Grandpa Tsutak Heavy is here. - Okay.
Welcome
Welcome
Welcome
Grandpa Tsutomu is here!
Big Brother
-You look busy. - Not bad.
You're finally getting good at trading,
aren't you, Genjiro?
I can see your father's style already.
You flatter me. I'm not even close to my father.
I'm already dizzy from dealing with disputes
between clients at the moment.
After all, it's an orgy here every night
It's only the beginning of the show, isn't it?
Thank you for your patronage
Looking forward to your next visit
I'll be here tomorrow too
These country bumpkins
Both samurai and merchants were men
Here, there's no restraint
It's said that there's a flower girl
called Asuki at the Kameya
I heard that she had very beautiful eyes
Now that you've spoken
I'll bring her to you even if she's in Kyoto.
I'm not going
Why
It's not a bad thing
I hate painters
Tell me about it
Because those guys don't know how to be polite
There was a guy who made me
stand up all night a while ago
He seems to be a very enthusiastic guy
Are you kidding?
Simply a mountain monkey with no manners
I don't know if I can draw it anymore
The last one looks like it's going to
pounce before it's finished
Then he must have painted a good picture
Of course, it's me after all.
But I don't want to...
Standing in front of the mountain monkeys again
That must be right.
It's Haruhiro. Haruhiro Katsukawa.
Katsukawa?
Yes, I've done a few of them for us too.
The mountain monkeys are absolutely right.
Huh?
Found it. Found it.
Here
Not a bad picture
It's just that...
Never paint what you don't want to paint
If you want to paint, paint until you're happy
He's a pain in the arse.
But I don't know what happened to him now
Is he no longer in the Katsukawa family?
He was expelled from the school long ago.
Expelled?
He's a man who doesn't give a damn
when it comes to painting
He's in Katsukawa and he still paints Yamato
(Yamato-painting: national painting from Japan,
with Japanese subjects and techniques different from those of Tang painting)
Even the Kano school was involved
(The Kano school: the largest school in the history of Japanese painting,
a group of professional painters whose main focus was on blood relations such as relatives and brothers)
At the end, he beat up his brother
Beat him up? Why?
Not sure
You are
from the Kooshu Hall
I'd like to come and see your paintings
I waited for a long time and didn't see you come back, so I came in without permission.
What do you want?
Come and see if you're still alive
My family told me this
Do you have any food left?
No need for your concern
I occasionally sell paintings for a living
Selling paintings?
Can it be realised?
Yes
You
Do you want to come and paint with me?
I'll start from scratch and train you up.
What's wrong?
I refuse
I'm sorry, I'm not the kind of person who does what I'm told.
So that's how it is
I heard you beat up your brother, didn't you?
Did that bastard Zongyi tell you that too?
That's right.
Why did you beat him up?
Because he altered my painting without permission
A waste of a good painting
That's it
I'm sorry
Long time no see
Are you here to see Grandpa?
He's in Yoshiwara.
This way, please. This way, please. This way.
Go this way
Eh, eh, eh, eh
Here comes an interesting person
You know someone?
A painter I found by chance
Just a Mountain Monkey
This is the legendary Haruhiro Katsukawa
Although he's been expelled from the school
Don't just stand there
Sit down
Mr. Komaro is drawing the most beautiful
flower girl in Yoshiwara.
I don't mind
But it's a rare occasion
Would you like some too?
I don't drink.
That's good.
With this guy, you can make a lot of money
even if you don't pay for the drinks.
All right, sit down.
This fish is good. You should try it too.
I can't eat something so extravagant
Did you hear that? Is this guy really a painter?
It seems so.
Simply the same as a monk
So you can't paint a woman's face
Your painting of a woman has no charm
Right, Tsutaya?
Not that you're bad at drawing
It's just that...
Let's put it this way
You're just taking what's in front of you and
putting it on paper as it is.
A shell without a soul
To escape?
I have more than just you to choose from
Painter or something
As much as you want
Excuse me, can you close the door?
Then
Would you please, Miss Asawa...
Sit down with your back to me.
How was last night
Did you always draw there?
Hmm?
Ah, yes.
I ate, slept, drew and painted all in that room
All paid for by us
That's a lot of money.
You don't have to pay him, do you?
The old man let him live there.
so that he could draw... so that he
could hang out with women.
Thanks to him, the shop is almost overwhelmed
Nowadays, almost all the money in the shop is
made by Mrs. Yoshihara.
What a headache!
I can't even see it here
What about you? What about you?
Do you want to draw?
Uh...
That's right.
This
Help me return it to your grandfather
He put it in my house, but I can't take it.
Take it.
I told you I wouldn't take it.
Then paint
Don't you have confidence in yourself?
What a stupid thing to say!
No painting?
What do you mean by that?
What do you mean?
Take a good look
Is the painting better than Kamaro's?
Did you draw it because you were in a state of triumph?
What did you paint for?
What are you talking about?
Literally
Why do you paint?
How would I know such a thing?
I'm not a child of a big family
So why did you become a painter?
Because I felt that painting could bring
people out of the bottom
Painting is not about status
If you can paint well, you can get ahead
Then don't paint
Don't draw it
Don't waste your time with this shit.
What did you say?
What the hell?
Bastard
Big Brother Big Brother
I'm sorry
Big Brother
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Big Brother
Here, look at this.
-Who painted this? - Actually, it's our guest.
This guy's young, but he's good at it.
He painted the essence of pleasure
Enjoyment?
He's drawing a Kabuki actor
He drew theatrical scenes in a bantering way
Isn't it exaggerated and funny?
Can I see him?
Sure. Can you sell it?
There's more to it than that.
Okay, we'll buy it.
Buy it all.
Brother
Okay, and this one, too.
Not enough
Not enough?
It's not that kind
A painting that makes your eyes light up
when you look at it
-with mica -what
Printing with Mica
That's not going to work. It's not profitable.
Have a look
The painting is very good
And an unknown artist
Well, he'll be
I will definitely become a painter who everyone knows in Edo
Hello
It's hard to come here. At least say hello!
His name is Dongzhou Zhai Zailuo
A painter I liked right away
Don't you want to see who it is?
This way please
Here we go, here we go
Quick
Please sit down, Master
You are a teacher of writing music, and no one can imitate your paintings
A genius
I can't believe that those paintings were done by such a young man's hand
I couldn't believe it for a moment
I really admire your eyesight
No, it's all Genjiro's fault this time.
He's the one who found Raku
That's true, but without you
I can't polish a diamond into a piece of art
Oh dear, it's all here
Mr. Kuma
Very gifted
I said your painting
Seeing these paintings
I was surprised too
Gentlemen, it's time for the highlight of the show.
Here comes the queen of flowers
The Flower King Asawa
Congratulations!
Hey, I want to ask you a question, okay?
In your opinion, is that what Kabuki looks like?
Does that look like
If you can, I'd like to show you these eyes
The resemblance is not enough
Is it interesting if you exaggerate?
No, it's not.
I was trying to draw
The Inner Heart of Kabuki
Do you understand?
Who do you think I am, boy?
If you don't like it, forget it
I said I don't drink
I know
Just trying to get you to lift your head up
Really
Disgusting
Those are called paintings too
Is that what you want?
Don't be ridiculous.
That kind of person doesn't deserve to be called a painter
The face and hands are deformed
The face alone
All of them are ugly and pretentious
Mr. Writer is not a painter like you
He's not under anyone's tutelage
And there is no master
Then why does he paint?
I just
Just enjoying painting
I didn't know I was going to pick up a pen
and start drawing with great enthusiasm
You're bragging
What's so enjoyable about painting?
Calmness
I just
Painting from the heart
Is there anything you don't like?
All right, all right.
Hello? Are you at home?
It's so cold and you're sitting outside
The doctor is here
I've been calling you for a long time
Old man
Yo
Nice expressions.
I'm getting tired of waiting
I've got Edo's disease and my days are numbered
(Note: A disease prevalent among the upper class in Japan during the Edo period, caused by a chronic deficiency of vitamin B1)
I just drew what I wanted to draw.
If you don't need it, just say so.
The wave
That's interesting.
I didn't expect you to draw this
Stunning Waves
I've never seen waves like this before
But I know
That's what you call a wave
Nice painting
Can you paint one for us in the shop?
(A Spring Landscape on River Island, 1797,
by which time Hokusai had changed his name to SÅri, and the classic Hokusai-style scenes already appear in this painting)
You
At last, the cocoon is broken
You're the only one who can do this kind of painting
The same sound as this Mount Fuji,
but written with the unique "Buji"
That's why it's beautiful
Hokusai
Interesting name too
The name is based on the North Star
It is the only star that never moves
Open it and see
Edo
Only this one
Smaller than a grain of rice
Isn't it funny
Me
Every time I see this
I'm so happy to see it
Forgetting all the superfluous things
The mind travels here and there, leaving nothing behind
What's at the end of the sea
There's Wine
There's food and there's women
Of course there must be paintings
All the things that have never been seen before
Me
To open a shop there
In a country I've never met
Trading in the business of selling the paintings of the artists I like
I want to prove it to them
My eyes have not missed it
Looking at the Painting
Nothing to do with words or language
Interesting stuff
Interesting to anyone who reads it
Isn't it?
The Northern Vegetarian
Painting
It's the one that changes the world
We can't go on like this here
Wait, I'll get the wine.
Looks like we're going to have a good drink today.
Chapter Two.
Master?
Where are you going?
Be careful on the road
Have you finished the last one?
Shouldn't you have something to say to me before then?
I've finished it.
Here
It's a bit slow this time
Because I'm not just drawing for you guys here
You're not looking too good.
How about a little rest?
How dare you say that about other people?
All you do is hug a table
Hello
How's Zeng?
Didn't I tell you before?
I'll be good too...
Oh, oh, wait, wait, wait.
Huh?
-Do you want to draw it here? - I can see the picture.
It's going to disappear if you don't get it down.
-You can't either. - Don't say anything yet!
Whatever you want.
Are you awake?
Hmm
It'll be ready right away.
Not this one
Sorry, you should redraw it.
The painting covers up the story
What does it mean?
It means that the painting is too impressive
Something I didn't write
You drew it on your own initiative
I can't help it. That's the way I see it.
You said you saw it.
Where did you see it?
here
This is seen inside
The story you wrote surfaced here
That can't be
If you have drawn your own picture
It doesn't fit the logic of the story
The reader's imagination is opened up by the illustrations
I want to draw what I like
Are you saying you won't redraw it?
Ah!
I want you to understand
What the Guest Wants to Read
It's a story I wrote
All you ever bring me are boring stories that stick to the rules.
The story doesn't move forward, I can't get a picture out of my head
This one is different
Quick, Master
OK, OK
The author's name is Yanagijeong Seiko
Writing about monsters
This book is so funny that you'll forget the time
Did you say something?
No
Just watching you read it with fascination
Yes.
I've made tea. Please take a break.
hmm
Yanagitei Kikuhiko
In the Mind of Vladimir
The face and figure of the cat lady always lingers
Painful
Gradually Sickened
Physically and mentally exhausted
soon to die
And all the people said
This must be the result of a cat's resentment
So when it comes to this
People were trembling with fear
Meow
-Grandpa! -What's wrong?
Mr. Kemaro was arrested
What Happened
saying that he had painted against the ban
Why all of a sudden?
Isn't there always a painting like that?
Speaking of which
If the command from above is obeyed
Can you still draw anything good?
Of course it's just a way to kill the monkey
It's called shooting the head off a bird
It's called a big tree that attracts a lot of attention
Tsutaya's boss also said
What about Kimaro?
said to have been imprisoned
To be detained for 50 days
50 days?
I'm very sorry I have to leave the meeting
We're probably going to be involved too
Grandpa, Grandpa
One Step Ahead
Is it so bad to draw a picture that someone else likes?
01:06:03,040 Certainly not a good thing for the court
Just shut up and work for the sake of the court
Don't be angry, don't laugh, don't be happy
Sadness makes you wise, so don't even cry
Hello!
Where are you going?
Not going anywhere
Home
Still have unfinished work to do
You...
You're still in the mood to paint on a day like this?
That's why I have to paint
I am pregnant
Baby
Aren't you glad?
Sorry
I was just thinking
A child born in this world today
Can You Really Be Happy?
Can you smile for me?
How can happiness come with that look?
This baby is in my belly
In painful expectation of birth
What will he do if even we are not happy for him?
Did you hear that?
This child's voice
May I?
Ah
Ah Wing Ah Wing
Ah Wing
Ah Wing, take a look. Take a look.
It's daddy. It's daddy.
Oops?
Ah Wing Ah Wing
It's Daddy
3rd
Chapter Three.
Miss Ah Wing
Akihiko, it's early!
I've been writing all night and into the morning
I want the teacher to read it quickly
That's a lot of work
How has the teacher been since then?
Who knows?
After my mother died
The stubborn old man is even more stubborn
Like a stone Buddha of the Earth
Painting from morning to night
So
You'll be able to relieve my father's boredom too
Talk to him slowly
Good morning, Mr. Hokusai.
Good Morning
-The weather has cooled off completely. - Yeah.
This is for you
She'll be happy
Good morning
Good morning
Teacher, I'm going to open the window
This is an unpleasant mess nowadays
To the Root
or because of the chaotic atmosphere
in the marketplace
The vulgar readings and ukiyo-e that
were spread around the city
Among others, such as the combined volumes
A book that even women and children can read
It's a very bad book
We, as samurai, must maintain our modesty
For these things that disturb society
Strict remedial action must be taken
You're not a free agent either
Born in the House of Samurai
Dissatisfied with samurai status again
Let the guy who wants to say it say it
What can you do if you're angry with them?
And then again
It's a world where things stay the same
Paintings can change the world
Before
There's a Man
Said so
What a quote
-Let's get started, Mr. Hokusai. - Okay.
Teacher
You are back
-You're back - You're back
Where have you been wandering again?
West Village House has gone back
They even brought the printed pictures
Father
Lord Father
-Teacher -Teacher
Water Water
Someone get the water!
Master, can you hear me?
Stroke
Life is saved though
But the most important hand keeps going numb
I may never be able to hold a pen again
Although everyone says we're lucky to be alive
But how could I say that to my father?
Where is the teacher?
Asleep
If only mum was still around
We'll leave you to it then
Farewell
Father, it's time to take your medicine.
I'll help you up
I'll help you
Can you hold it?
One more time
It's a lot of trouble for you too
It really is
I'm sorry
No, no
I owe it all to Mr. Hokusai to be where I am now
I like to draw your illustrations
It's funny
Painting
It just feels like it's getting younger all of a sudden
I feel the same way every time I get an
illustration from my teacher
Are you getting younger too?
Is that weird?
The age thing
is not a lie
Seventy years old is seventy years old
And being scolded by Ah Wing
I'm going away for a while
With your current body?
Yes.
It's not bad to die in a strange land
Master
kidding
I'm not going to die
Thank you very much
There must be some... only in this state
something that can only be seen
I still have to be with the world
I'll take a chance
It would be futile to try to stop you anyway
Yes, it's useless.
I'm not giving it to you
Stop talking nonsense and get back to work
Where are you staying tonight?
This kind of stuff. Just look for it when you get to the place
What to do if you can't find it
Then we'll have to deal with it in the neighbourhood
I knew you'd do that.
samsung zitansha genji
Book of Genghis Khan
Young and popular
It was so popular that the book couldn't even be printed
Very good
Narihiko is a Samurai
Not like us
Just writing a book
Dividing What Samurai Civilians
Just because he was a samurai
If he's targeted, it's over
So, you're going to stop Karihiko.
Do you think you can stop it?
Do you think I would stop painting for fear of punishment?
Akihiko and you are different
A Man Who Wants to Write a Book
Just Born in the House of the Samurai
Aren't You Worried About Jiyan?
He just poured everything he wanted to write into his pen
and it just touches the heart
What could be more fortunate than that
It's unstoppable
Isn't that what happened to you too?
Thank you for your patronage
Please come in Welcome
I was here first I was here first
Chapter Four.
Long Seven
Take this to Sister Wing
Yes
Master
Takayakushita Did you know that Yanagitei is
the seed of the Yanagitei family?
Do you know this person?
I don't know
When this is the case
The man is a miscreant who writes badly
How could I have met someone like you?
Think about your position
It's not a good thing for the Musha family to
be involved with people like that
There is no such person as Yanagitei Jiyan
There never was, and there never will be
Do you remember?
Under the High House
Yes
What's up? Okay, okay.
-Have some more. - Great.
-Thank you. Thank you. - Come on, come on, let's drink.
Master
Thank you for your continued care
Although it's lonely to be away from here
Please take care of your health
-Hung Shan - Yes
-You take care too. -Yes.
But I'm getting used to living in Edo
I don't know if I'll be uncomfortable living in
the village back in Kobusi
Can come back any time
Thank you
If it's convenient, though it's a long way, the master
can come and give a small donation
Although there's nothing but barren hills around,
the rice is sweet and the water is refreshing, better than here
Good
It's 60 miles, right?
My body...
I'll write a letter once in a while
Yes
Thank you for your kind attention
Kisaburo, let's sing that one for fun
Asama
Are you talking about Shinano chasing points?
Yes, yes, yes
At Asama Negi Koshima
It's a bit cool today
Do you want to give up?
I'm confused
Master...
Would you give up everything for painting?
Can you give up Wing and the disciples and become nothing?
Sorry for asking such a meaningless question
Someday
Someday
We don't have to live under the world's thumb
I wish I could live and see this world with my own eyes
I hope so too
I...
I can only do what I can do
Ayanami
What is this?
I asked you what this is
Expulsion of Yanagitei Seiko from his house
What do you mean?
Expulsion of dabblers from the host's house
Consider it a shameless person who you happened
to rescue and didn't leave
for writing frivolous pieces that mock the
Shogun's administration
The master did not want to continue to be involved
with him and drove him out of his house
So that's it, everything's settled, see?
Just a moment
Can't do it
-I can't do it. -Hikoshiro Takaya
What do you take the honor of a samurai for?
You know what will happen to the Takaya family
and yet you can say this
Do You Want to Destroy the Takaya Family?
Does it matter if your wife and children are on the street?
It's not too late to repent
Throw it all away
Give up the needless insistence, give up the cheapness of mind
That's all I can say
Please wait
I...
Won't give up
I won't give up writing
I'm just...
Yanagitei Kikohiko
I can't lose him
Lord Father
He is, my lord...
Self-destructive
He was worthy of the name of a warrior
A decent death
Lady Sheng
Araihiko
Father
A Day Like This... Do you still want to paint?
That's why I want to paint
Father, this painting...
If such a painting had been seen by the people above...
You'll get caught too
Ah Wing
I know what kind of a person Kanehiko is
He won't kill himself
Someone sealed the mouth
He didn't even finish what he wanted to say
before he was silenced
Father
Leave Edo, please!
Just listen to me for once, please!
Father
Teacher: Hokusai Sensei
Still the same
I'm going to be 90 years old
But I see the same thing after all
It Will Change
One Day
I'll keep this painting for you until the day comes
I'm sorry
Hung Shan
Yes
I have a favour to ask you now
What
I want to paint
Some words came to my eyes
Words?
Yes Some words
I want to put down these words
To remain in this world.
Began the blossoming of a unique Japanese town culture in
a long-lasting period of peace and prosperity
Among the many books were gorgeous ukiyo-e paintings
That enjoyed great popularity among the commoners
However, in the midst of the free tide of the townspeople's culture
The Tokugawa Shogunate's prestige was shaken and the Shogunate
called entertainment the source of the country's degradation.
The publishers and artists were deprived of their
creative freedom and were severely suppressed.
Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
Get out of the way. Get out of the way.
Get out of the way
Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
Please stop
Don't interfere
Grandpa! Grandpa!
Let go, Master
Please stop. Please stop.
Master of Koshu-do Shigesaburo Tsutaya
Repeatedly disobeying advice
Breaking the ban
Indiscriminate opening and printing of books
Blatant painting of folklore
It's outrageous
-Do it! -Yes!
Let's go!
Moving in.
Chapter One.
Even when it's dirty like this
The charm is still intact
As expected of a kamaro
Yes
Thanks to them
The tree is a great attraction
In other words
The above has been confirmed
We're one of the top publishers in Edo
Edo's number one painter and playwright
I trained them all
It's so much fun
This is timely rain
Now all of Edo will be watching our work
As they say, if you don't break it,
you don't stand it.
-Grandpa Tsutak Heavy is here. - Okay.
Welcome
Welcome
Welcome
Grandpa Tsutomu is here!
Big Brother
-You look busy. - Not bad.
You're finally getting good at trading,
aren't you, Genjiro?
I can see your father's style already.
You flatter me. I'm not even close to my father.
I'm already dizzy from dealing with disputes
between clients at the moment.
After all, it's an orgy here every night
It's only the beginning of the show, isn't it?
Thank you for your patronage
Looking forward to your next visit
I'll be here tomorrow too
These country bumpkins
Both samurai and merchants were men
Here, there's no restraint
It's said that there's a flower girl
called Asuki at the Kameya
I heard that she had very beautiful eyes
Now that you've spoken
I'll bring her to you even if she's in Kyoto.
I'm not going
Why
It's not a bad thing
I hate painters
Tell me about it
Because those guys don't know how to be polite
There was a guy who made me
stand up all night a while ago
He seems to be a very enthusiastic guy
Are you kidding?
Simply a mountain monkey with no manners
I don't know if I can draw it anymore
The last one looks like it's going to
pounce before it's finished
Then he must have painted a good picture
Of course, it's me after all.
But I don't want to...
Standing in front of the mountain monkeys again
That must be right.
It's Haruhiro. Haruhiro Katsukawa.
Katsukawa?
Yes, I've done a few of them for us too.
The mountain monkeys are absolutely right.
Huh?
Found it. Found it.
Here
Not a bad picture
It's just that...
Never paint what you don't want to paint
If you want to paint, paint until you're happy
He's a pain in the arse.
But I don't know what happened to him now
Is he no longer in the Katsukawa family?
He was expelled from the school long ago.
Expelled?
He's a man who doesn't give a damn
when it comes to painting
He's in Katsukawa and he still paints Yamato
(Yamato-painting: national painting from Japan,
with Japanese subjects and techniques different from those of Tang painting)
Even the Kano school was involved
(The Kano school: the largest school in the history of Japanese painting,
a group of professional painters whose main focus was on blood relations such as relatives and brothers)
At the end, he beat up his brother
Beat him up? Why?
Not sure
You are
from the Kooshu Hall
I'd like to come and see your paintings
I waited for a long time and didn't see you come back, so I came in without permission.
What do you want?
Come and see if you're still alive
My family told me this
Do you have any food left?
No need for your concern
I occasionally sell paintings for a living
Selling paintings?
Can it be realised?
Yes
You
Do you want to come and paint with me?
I'll start from scratch and train you up.
What's wrong?
I refuse
I'm sorry, I'm not the kind of person who does what I'm told.
So that's how it is
I heard you beat up your brother, didn't you?
Did that bastard Zongyi tell you that too?
That's right.
Why did you beat him up?
Because he altered my painting without permission
A waste of a good painting
That's it
I'm sorry
Long time no see
Are you here to see Grandpa?
He's in Yoshiwara.
This way, please. This way, please. This way.
Go this way
Eh, eh, eh, eh
Here comes an interesting person
You know someone?
A painter I found by chance
Just a Mountain Monkey
This is the legendary Haruhiro Katsukawa
Although he's been expelled from the school
Don't just stand there
Sit down
Mr. Komaro is drawing the most beautiful
flower girl in Yoshiwara.
I don't mind
But it's a rare occasion
Would you like some too?
I don't drink.
That's good.
With this guy, you can make a lot of money
even if you don't pay for the drinks.
All right, sit down.
This fish is good. You should try it too.
I can't eat something so extravagant
Did you hear that? Is this guy really a painter?
It seems so.
Simply the same as a monk
So you can't paint a woman's face
Your painting of a woman has no charm
Right, Tsutaya?
Not that you're bad at drawing
It's just that...
Let's put it this way
You're just taking what's in front of you and
putting it on paper as it is.
A shell without a soul
To escape?
I have more than just you to choose from
Painter or something
As much as you want
Excuse me, can you close the door?
Then
Would you please, Miss Asawa...
Sit down with your back to me.
How was last night
Did you always draw there?
Hmm?
Ah, yes.
I ate, slept, drew and painted all in that room
All paid for by us
That's a lot of money.
You don't have to pay him, do you?
The old man let him live there.
so that he could draw... so that he
could hang out with women.
Thanks to him, the shop is almost overwhelmed
Nowadays, almost all the money in the shop is
made by Mrs. Yoshihara.
What a headache!
I can't even see it here
What about you? What about you?
Do you want to draw?
Uh...
That's right.
This
Help me return it to your grandfather
He put it in my house, but I can't take it.
Take it.
I told you I wouldn't take it.
Then paint
Don't you have confidence in yourself?
What a stupid thing to say!
No painting?
What do you mean by that?
What do you mean?
Take a good look
Is the painting better than Kamaro's?
Did you draw it because you were in a state of triumph?
What did you paint for?
What are you talking about?
Literally
Why do you paint?
How would I know such a thing?
I'm not a child of a big family
So why did you become a painter?
Because I felt that painting could bring
people out of the bottom
Painting is not about status
If you can paint well, you can get ahead
Then don't paint
Don't draw it
Don't waste your time with this shit.
What did you say?
What the hell?
Bastard
Big Brother Big Brother
I'm sorry
Big Brother
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Big Brother
Here, look at this.
-Who painted this? - Actually, it's our guest.
This guy's young, but he's good at it.
He painted the essence of pleasure
Enjoyment?
He's drawing a Kabuki actor
He drew theatrical scenes in a bantering way
Isn't it exaggerated and funny?
Can I see him?
Sure. Can you sell it?
There's more to it than that.
Okay, we'll buy it.
Buy it all.
Brother
Okay, and this one, too.
Not enough
Not enough?
It's not that kind
A painting that makes your eyes light up
when you look at it
-with mica -what
Printing with Mica
That's not going to work. It's not profitable.
Have a look
The painting is very good
And an unknown artist
Well, he'll be
I will definitely become a painter who everyone knows in Edo
Hello
It's hard to come here. At least say hello!
His name is Dongzhou Zhai Zailuo
A painter I liked right away
Don't you want to see who it is?
This way please
Here we go, here we go
Quick
Please sit down, Master
You are a teacher of writing music, and no one can imitate your paintings
A genius
I can't believe that those paintings were done by such a young man's hand
I couldn't believe it for a moment
I really admire your eyesight
No, it's all Genjiro's fault this time.
He's the one who found Raku
That's true, but without you
I can't polish a diamond into a piece of art
Oh dear, it's all here
Mr. Kuma
Very gifted
I said your painting
Seeing these paintings
I was surprised too
Gentlemen, it's time for the highlight of the show.
Here comes the queen of flowers
The Flower King Asawa
Congratulations!
Hey, I want to ask you a question, okay?
In your opinion, is that what Kabuki looks like?
Does that look like
If you can, I'd like to show you these eyes
The resemblance is not enough
Is it interesting if you exaggerate?
No, it's not.
I was trying to draw
The Inner Heart of Kabuki
Do you understand?
Who do you think I am, boy?
If you don't like it, forget it
I said I don't drink
I know
Just trying to get you to lift your head up
Really
Disgusting
Those are called paintings too
Is that what you want?
Don't be ridiculous.
That kind of person doesn't deserve to be called a painter
The face and hands are deformed
The face alone
All of them are ugly and pretentious
Mr. Writer is not a painter like you
He's not under anyone's tutelage
And there is no master
Then why does he paint?
I just
Just enjoying painting
I didn't know I was going to pick up a pen
and start drawing with great enthusiasm
You're bragging
What's so enjoyable about painting?
Calmness
I just
Painting from the heart
Is there anything you don't like?
All right, all right.
Hello? Are you at home?
It's so cold and you're sitting outside
The doctor is here
I've been calling you for a long time
Old man
Yo
Nice expressions.
I'm getting tired of waiting
I've got Edo's disease and my days are numbered
(Note: A disease prevalent among the upper class in Japan during the Edo period, caused by a chronic deficiency of vitamin B1)
I just drew what I wanted to draw.
If you don't need it, just say so.
The wave
That's interesting.
I didn't expect you to draw this
Stunning Waves
I've never seen waves like this before
But I know
That's what you call a wave
Nice painting
Can you paint one for us in the shop?
(A Spring Landscape on River Island, 1797,
by which time Hokusai had changed his name to SÅri, and the classic Hokusai-style scenes already appear in this painting)
You
At last, the cocoon is broken
You're the only one who can do this kind of painting
The same sound as this Mount Fuji,
but written with the unique "Buji"
That's why it's beautiful
Hokusai
Interesting name too
The name is based on the North Star
It is the only star that never moves
Open it and see
Edo
Only this one
Smaller than a grain of rice
Isn't it funny
Me
Every time I see this
I'm so happy to see it
Forgetting all the superfluous things
The mind travels here and there, leaving nothing behind
What's at the end of the sea
There's Wine
There's food and there's women
Of course there must be paintings
All the things that have never been seen before
Me
To open a shop there
In a country I've never met
Trading in the business of selling the paintings of the artists I like
I want to prove it to them
My eyes have not missed it
Looking at the Painting
Nothing to do with words or language
Interesting stuff
Interesting to anyone who reads it
Isn't it?
The Northern Vegetarian
Painting
It's the one that changes the world
We can't go on like this here
Wait, I'll get the wine.
Looks like we're going to have a good drink today.
Chapter Two.
Master?
Where are you going?
Be careful on the road
Have you finished the last one?
Shouldn't you have something to say to me before then?
I've finished it.
Here
It's a bit slow this time
Because I'm not just drawing for you guys here
You're not looking too good.
How about a little rest?
How dare you say that about other people?
All you do is hug a table
Hello
How's Zeng?
Didn't I tell you before?
I'll be good too...
Oh, oh, wait, wait, wait.
Huh?
-Do you want to draw it here? - I can see the picture.
It's going to disappear if you don't get it down.
-You can't either. - Don't say anything yet!
Whatever you want.
Are you awake?
Hmm
It'll be ready right away.
Not this one
Sorry, you should redraw it.
The painting covers up the story
What does it mean?
It means that the painting is too impressive
Something I didn't write
You drew it on your own initiative
I can't help it. That's the way I see it.
You said you saw it.
Where did you see it?
here
This is seen inside
The story you wrote surfaced here
That can't be
If you have drawn your own picture
It doesn't fit the logic of the story
The reader's imagination is opened up by the illustrations
I want to draw what I like
Are you saying you won't redraw it?
Ah!
I want you to understand
What the Guest Wants to Read
It's a story I wrote
All you ever bring me are boring stories that stick to the rules.
The story doesn't move forward, I can't get a picture out of my head
This one is different
Quick, Master
OK, OK
The author's name is Yanagijeong Seiko
Writing about monsters
This book is so funny that you'll forget the time
Did you say something?
No
Just watching you read it with fascination
Yes.
I've made tea. Please take a break.
hmm
Yanagitei Kikuhiko
In the Mind of Vladimir
The face and figure of the cat lady always lingers
Painful
Gradually Sickened
Physically and mentally exhausted
soon to die
And all the people said
This must be the result of a cat's resentment
So when it comes to this
People were trembling with fear
Meow
-Grandpa! -What's wrong?
Mr. Kemaro was arrested
What Happened
saying that he had painted against the ban
Why all of a sudden?
Isn't there always a painting like that?
Speaking of which
If the command from above is obeyed
Can you still draw anything good?
Of course it's just a way to kill the monkey
It's called shooting the head off a bird
It's called a big tree that attracts a lot of attention
Tsutaya's boss also said
What about Kimaro?
said to have been imprisoned
To be detained for 50 days
50 days?
I'm very sorry I have to leave the meeting
We're probably going to be involved too
Grandpa, Grandpa
One Step Ahead
Is it so bad to draw a picture that someone else likes?
01:06:03,040 Certainly not a good thing for the court
Just shut up and work for the sake of the court
Don't be angry, don't laugh, don't be happy
Sadness makes you wise, so don't even cry
Hello!
Where are you going?
Not going anywhere
Home
Still have unfinished work to do
You...
You're still in the mood to paint on a day like this?
That's why I have to paint
I am pregnant
Baby
Aren't you glad?
Sorry
I was just thinking
A child born in this world today
Can You Really Be Happy?
Can you smile for me?
How can happiness come with that look?
This baby is in my belly
In painful expectation of birth
What will he do if even we are not happy for him?
Did you hear that?
This child's voice
May I?
Ah
Ah Wing Ah Wing
Ah Wing
Ah Wing, take a look. Take a look.
It's daddy. It's daddy.
Oops?
Ah Wing Ah Wing
It's Daddy
3rd
Chapter Three.
Miss Ah Wing
Akihiko, it's early!
I've been writing all night and into the morning
I want the teacher to read it quickly
That's a lot of work
How has the teacher been since then?
Who knows?
After my mother died
The stubborn old man is even more stubborn
Like a stone Buddha of the Earth
Painting from morning to night
So
You'll be able to relieve my father's boredom too
Talk to him slowly
Good morning, Mr. Hokusai.
Good Morning
-The weather has cooled off completely. - Yeah.
This is for you
She'll be happy
Good morning
Good morning
Teacher, I'm going to open the window
This is an unpleasant mess nowadays
To the Root
or because of the chaotic atmosphere
in the marketplace
The vulgar readings and ukiyo-e that
were spread around the city
Among others, such as the combined volumes
A book that even women and children can read
It's a very bad book
We, as samurai, must maintain our modesty
For these things that disturb society
Strict remedial action must be taken
You're not a free agent either
Born in the House of Samurai
Dissatisfied with samurai status again
Let the guy who wants to say it say it
What can you do if you're angry with them?
And then again
It's a world where things stay the same
Paintings can change the world
Before
There's a Man
Said so
What a quote
-Let's get started, Mr. Hokusai. - Okay.
Teacher
You are back
-You're back - You're back
Where have you been wandering again?
West Village House has gone back
They even brought the printed pictures
Father
Lord Father
-Teacher -Teacher
Water Water
Someone get the water!
Master, can you hear me?
Stroke
Life is saved though
But the most important hand keeps going numb
I may never be able to hold a pen again
Although everyone says we're lucky to be alive
But how could I say that to my father?
Where is the teacher?
Asleep
If only mum was still around
We'll leave you to it then
Farewell
Father, it's time to take your medicine.
I'll help you up
I'll help you
Can you hold it?
One more time
It's a lot of trouble for you too
It really is
I'm sorry
No, no
I owe it all to Mr. Hokusai to be where I am now
I like to draw your illustrations
It's funny
Painting
It just feels like it's getting younger all of a sudden
I feel the same way every time I get an
illustration from my teacher
Are you getting younger too?
Is that weird?
The age thing
is not a lie
Seventy years old is seventy years old
And being scolded by Ah Wing
I'm going away for a while
With your current body?
Yes.
It's not bad to die in a strange land
Master
kidding
I'm not going to die
Thank you very much
There must be some... only in this state
something that can only be seen
I still have to be with the world
I'll take a chance
It would be futile to try to stop you anyway
Yes, it's useless.
I'm not giving it to you
Stop talking nonsense and get back to work
Where are you staying tonight?
This kind of stuff. Just look for it when you get to the place
What to do if you can't find it
Then we'll have to deal with it in the neighbourhood
I knew you'd do that.
samsung zitansha genji
Book of Genghis Khan
Young and popular
It was so popular that the book couldn't even be printed
Very good
Narihiko is a Samurai
Not like us
Just writing a book
Dividing What Samurai Civilians
Just because he was a samurai
If he's targeted, it's over
So, you're going to stop Karihiko.
Do you think you can stop it?
Do you think I would stop painting for fear of punishment?
Akihiko and you are different
A Man Who Wants to Write a Book
Just Born in the House of the Samurai
Aren't You Worried About Jiyan?
He just poured everything he wanted to write into his pen
and it just touches the heart
What could be more fortunate than that
It's unstoppable
Isn't that what happened to you too?
Thank you for your patronage
Please come in Welcome
I was here first I was here first
Chapter Four.
Long Seven
Take this to Sister Wing
Yes
Master
Takayakushita Did you know that Yanagitei is
the seed of the Yanagitei family?
Do you know this person?
I don't know
When this is the case
The man is a miscreant who writes badly
How could I have met someone like you?
Think about your position
It's not a good thing for the Musha family to
be involved with people like that
There is no such person as Yanagitei Jiyan
There never was, and there never will be
Do you remember?
Under the High House
Yes
What's up? Okay, okay.
-Have some more. - Great.
-Thank you. Thank you. - Come on, come on, let's drink.
Master
Thank you for your continued care
Although it's lonely to be away from here
Please take care of your health
-Hung Shan - Yes
-You take care too. -Yes.
But I'm getting used to living in Edo
I don't know if I'll be uncomfortable living in
the village back in Kobusi
Can come back any time
Thank you
If it's convenient, though it's a long way, the master
can come and give a small donation
Although there's nothing but barren hills around,
the rice is sweet and the water is refreshing, better than here
Good
It's 60 miles, right?
My body...
I'll write a letter once in a while
Yes
Thank you for your kind attention
Kisaburo, let's sing that one for fun
Asama
Are you talking about Shinano chasing points?
Yes, yes, yes
At Asama Negi Koshima
It's a bit cool today
Do you want to give up?
I'm confused
Master...
Would you give up everything for painting?
Can you give up Wing and the disciples and become nothing?
Sorry for asking such a meaningless question
Someday
Someday
We don't have to live under the world's thumb
I wish I could live and see this world with my own eyes
I hope so too
I...
I can only do what I can do
Ayanami
What is this?
I asked you what this is
Expulsion of Yanagitei Seiko from his house
What do you mean?
Expulsion of dabblers from the host's house
Consider it a shameless person who you happened
to rescue and didn't leave
for writing frivolous pieces that mock the
Shogun's administration
The master did not want to continue to be involved
with him and drove him out of his house
So that's it, everything's settled, see?
Just a moment
Can't do it
-I can't do it. -Hikoshiro Takaya
What do you take the honor of a samurai for?
You know what will happen to the Takaya family
and yet you can say this
Do You Want to Destroy the Takaya Family?
Does it matter if your wife and children are on the street?
It's not too late to repent
Throw it all away
Give up the needless insistence, give up the cheapness of mind
That's all I can say
Please wait
I...
Won't give up
I won't give up writing
I'm just...
Yanagitei Kikohiko
I can't lose him
Lord Father
He is, my lord...
Self-destructive
He was worthy of the name of a warrior
A decent death
Lady Sheng
Araihiko
Father
A Day Like This... Do you still want to paint?
That's why I want to paint
Father, this painting...
If such a painting had been seen by the people above...
You'll get caught too
Ah Wing
I know what kind of a person Kanehiko is
He won't kill himself
Someone sealed the mouth
He didn't even finish what he wanted to say
before he was silenced
Father
Leave Edo, please!
Just listen to me for once, please!
Father
Teacher: Hokusai Sensei
Still the same
I'm going to be 90 years old
But I see the same thing after all
It Will Change
One Day
I'll keep this painting for you until the day comes
I'm sorry
Hung Shan
Yes
I have a favour to ask you now
What
I want to paint
Some words came to my eyes
Words?
Yes Some words
I want to put down these words
To remain in this world.
