MEIJI 38 (1905)

Kanazawa

Kanazawa Central Hotel

Mr. Kurokawa, finally our Seishinkai group has gained dominance.

You recently acceded the presidency of Seishinkai, Mr. Kurokawa.

Your responsibility will be greater.

It may be no exaggeration to say that Japan,

which aims to become the top power in the world, has its future on your shoulders.

Don't exaggerate, Mayor.

Everyone in countryside politics is looking forward

and expecting great things from you in the national political arena.

Anyway,

in the near future we, Seishinkai, will control everything.

I am counting on you.

Thank you.

Your wife gets younger

and prettier every time I see her.

You must be joking. I'm practically a granny.

- Not at all. - Right, honey?

Mr. Kurokawa, a writer from the "Mancho" newspaper is here to see you.

Crook! Die!

- Catch him! - Stop him!

Die!

Call the police!

Kurokawa!

Catch him!

Arrest him!

Catch him!

Where did he go?

- Are you all right? - Yes.

- Should we go to see a doctor? - No, I'm okay.

Sir!

Are you okay, sir?

Lady, are you an agent of law enforcement?

No, she saved me!

Well, thank you.

I am a butler at Hiiragi's.

My name is Sanemaro Hitsujikawa.

I truly thank you.

Now, sir, we should get going.

Thank you. So long.

Force of habit. I've been doing this since I was a kid.

My fingers are helpless. What is this?

INAMURA FAMILY

I have heard that story about the man in racketeering.

But it's been 20 years.

I've traveled to find that man.

And I've heard a rumor that he stopped over in Kanazawa.

A famous swindler who manipulates the game "Ino, Shika, Ocho"...

Ocho, did you get your name

Inoshika Ocho, from that man?

Maybe.

But there are feelings I've had all my life

tied to these flower cards.

I see. I have heard about you.

Can I witness your highly skilled play, that which is rumored?

Bet.

Ocho.

You can't cheat in front of me!

Mr. Inamura, your gambling house allows this kind of disrespect?

Of course not!

How dare you sully my reputation!

Boss, I was just... I didn't do anything.

I don't need to hear excuses!

Don't hesitate.

Settle this in front of these gentlemen.

Inamura! You...

Let me go!

He couldn't handle himself well enough.

"Yuki Hosoya."

Stay with me.

Don't resent anybody.

Hell waits right beneath the gambling mat. That's how it works.

Damn Inamura.

He was the one who made me cheat.

- Inamura did? - How unfair.

Is there anything you wish to declare?

This bank statement... you must have reasons.

Please, give this to my sister Yuki in Tokyo.

Yuki... and where is she in Tokyo?

In Asakusa.

She left Kanazawa to work at Junikai-shita in Asakusa.

Asakusa.

Please.

If I don't give this to my sister, she will be sold to a brothel for 500 yen!

Could... you... please...

give this bank statement to Yuki... Yuki...

A cowardly sneak attack!

Nobody can spread rumors, however small, about Inamura's gambling house.

You have to die!

ASAKUSA

SEISHINKAI PRESIDENT KUROKAWA ATTACKED!

OFFENDER WAS EX-MINYUKAI MEMBER

You're...

Thank you for all that trouble in Kanazawa.

How are your injuries?

Fortunately I'm all right.

- Let me return this to you. - Why do you have this?

She is beautiful. Sorry, but I managed to see.

See you.

I don't know who you are, but give it back now.

- What are you talking about? - Come off it.

I know all the tricks.

If you're going to do it, do it better.

You tend to be very popular among thieves.

Move!

See you.

- Ocho, welcome back. - We're glad to see you.

We were waiting a long time for you to come back.

- Is she Ocho? - What's going on?

No wonder she caught me.

Ocho, her name is Hakonori Okinu. She just joined us today.

- Nice to meet you. - Now, go study.

Yes.

I was expecting you today.

Today is the anniversary of your father's death.

It's because of your kindness to me as an orphan that I am here like this.

Day by day, throughout my travels, I've always remembered it.

Don't be such a stranger.

I'm Ogin, the tailor. I'm your adopted mother.

I'm just returning the kindness that Mr. Kasai showed me.

Ocho, welcome back.

Haru. You grew up. You look lovely.

Only her body grew. She's still in school in Meguro.

That's great.

Boss!

Ouch.

I hurt my backside big time.

I wonder if I'm still able to break wind.

Yes, I did.

It stinks! That's good. If it stinks, all is well.

Boss, there's big news!

I, Kanichi Hazama, have finally learned the secret art of stealing.

Please look at this.

Idiot, If you show that in public, you'll be arrested instantly.

- Give me that. - Don't be so strict.

Wow, she's gorgeous.

When I see such a beautiful woman's face, my eyes almost pop out.

Fool. Nothing could help you if your eyes popped more than now.

Again, you like praising me, don't you?

By the way, who is this?

She is Ocho, my adopted daughter.

Wow, I would love for her to be taking care of me.

My little man hasn't been taken care of in a long time.

Let me introduce myself.

I am a student at the Ichiko school.

My name is Kanichi Hazama.

If you have time, would you like to walk the seashore in Atami?

He's a lair. He was a boatman on a trash barge in Osaka.

His name is Hachiro.

I got this name, Kanichi Hazama, from a book called "Konjiki Sarumata."

- No, it's pronounced "Konjiki Yasha" - That's right, Yasha.

What is this?

What is it? It looks like a western balloon.

It's skinny and long. I took these from some female students.

So it might be for girls.

You guys don't know anything, do you?

It's from England, It's a "rude sack".

Rude sack?

- It is called "condom" as well. - Condom?

Western goods are elegant somehow.

You're right. It's chic.

How silly you are! It's a birth control device.

I'm home!

I stole it from her.

How foolish you are.

- Why? - She's our new girl, with us from today.

If we steal from each other, we can't make a living.

Yuki from Kanazawa? I don't know her.

Only Kizugen takes care of girls for Junikai-shita.

I heard that Heisuke took Yuki here.

There're dozens and dozens of girls in this neighborhood.

We don't know each one's background.

Mr. Iwakura, welcome.

Mr. Iwakura, how are you doing?

How are you? I'm glad to hear that your business is doing well.

Business is doing well, but I'm still only the owner of a whorehouse.

- It's not much. - I see.

I'm planning to have you help with more profitable work soon.
