Grave of genzo

There.

This is it.

This small key...

Has locked away my womanhood.

I'll be a woman again.

What do I do how?

Now what do I do?

Still the same, I see.

Sorry, I was going to come.

Even if you can't pay, you should still come by.

If you steal five ryo from someone, you'll be exiled.

If it's nine ryo, your head will roll!

I'm not lying to you. Just ask him.

I was forced to serve a man named samejima

as security for my debt.

It was a strange house.

The hallway curved on and on and seemed never-ending.

There were many peculiar small rooms, all garishly colored.

Strange men and women.

What is this place?

What should I do for you, sir?

Instead of explaining, I'll show you.

Come here...

And observe.

You look surprised. I assume you must be a virgin.

If so, I can remedy that for you.

It's bound to happen sometime anyway!

Let me go!

You're a newcomer, right?

Don't just stand there with your mouth shut. Greet us!

Or you think that you can't even greet women like us?

Say something! You're a strange creature.

Forgive me... I didn't know about such places.

"Such places" you say?

Hey, everyone, I don't think she's been tattooed yet.

I et's have a look.

Stop it!

I only teased her a little, then she ran in here.

She looks promising, samejima.

Stop it! Don't spoil the merchandise!

If you do whatever we tell you and earn money, you'll live well.

She shows great promise.

Genzo raped one girl after another without the madam"s knowledge.

I'll share the same fate as them.

Water

- water? - Give me water.

I'll let you drink, I'll let you drink...

Shall 1? Shall I?

Drink it. Drink it.

Then, let yumi drink some. Understand?

Why aren't you drinking it? Yumi!

Open your mouth!

Open your mouth, yumi.

Yumi, why aren't you drinking? Yumi...

Open your mouth.

More! Drink more, yumi!

The house with the tattooed whores was like hell.

Any tattoo artist would be fascinated by this perfect skin.

If the shogun judges my tattoo best in the competition,

then I shall succeed horigoro.

And then, osuzu...

Osuzu!

Then my father will marry me to the winner?

Horitatsu kept on at your father about that.

He made that promise just to get rid of him.

I shall speak with my father.

Osuzul

father, did you really promise horitatsu?

Their skills are about the same.

Horitatsu's tattoos are filled with an aura of imminent violence.

It's like the art of darkness.

Horihide's are bright, with pure and refined expressions.

Osuzu, it's pretty clear to me

who the winner will be.

I can't lose.

It's a match, betting my love and pride.

I have to win.

Osuzu, I will win. For sure!

Don't hide yourselves away.

You shouldn't bother me at this very important stage. You must leave.

May I continue?

Yes, it's fine by me.

Then please persevere a little longer.

He's like a madman.

There are people who say his skills are superior to master horigoro.

All well-known artists have their quirks.

That's why I tolerate him.

Then he's doing a good job?

He refuses to let me see.

- Welcome, sir. - I have good news for you, madam.

We have plenty of girls now, master samejima.

- You're not in a good mood, eh? - Please.

- Anything wrong? - Nothing at all.

I have some news that will bring in more customers.

If this deal settles, we'll need all the girls we can get.

Why don't they undress? Get their clothes off!

Wonderful! I want you to arrange for plenty of women just like these.

Girls with tattoos are expensive. Is that alright?

As long as they're beautifully tattooed, I'll pay any price.

Once you've seen a woman strip herself naked,

you can't help but want her.

- You like that? - Not now. Let's get started.

Come on, come on...

You have such a fine tattoo.

Oh! You should walk around showing it off to the public.

Well, now, let's get to work...

Don't do that, it hurts.

I want to touch your belly again.

Oh, I love to be touched. Touch wherever you want.

Really?

This is the best belly in the world.

Amazing!

Ohako!

Hey, youl!

What's wrong? Don't stop halfway through!

I love you.

Come on, they've arrived.

There are few things I'd like to ask you.

Come out so I can question you.

You must miss the outside world.

Don't ask me that. Of course I do.

I'm going to get you out.

Master, do you really mean that?

- But only if you do exactly as I say. - Yes, I shall.

- Then you must break out of jail. - Break out?

Actually, there are ten women I'd like to question secretly.

I want you to get them out. So, answer me.

I'd rather stay here than take such a risk.

Impossible! You have no choice, now that I've told you my secret.

I'll never talk, master. I heard nothing.

- Please, sir! - Then you'll die.

How could you?

It may seem unreasonable, but it's what I demand.

I'll just say that you died

because you resisted interrogation!

Please put your sword away.

So you'll do it?

So... which women?

Numbers eight... ten...

Twenty-four...

Twenty-six...

Number fifteen!

Number twenty-one!

Well?

Number eighteen!

Yes! Just me? I'll be so lonely.

- Number nineteen! - Yes!

We'll be together.

Aren't we lucky?

It's tonight. Are you all ready?

But can we really make it out?

Everything's perfectly arranged.

If there are any cowards amongst you, speak up now.

Well, then, how about it?

Anyone who opposes us will die.

It's finished.

It's done!

You like it, don't you?

- You understand? - Of course I do.

Your skill lies in your eyes and hands working in Harmony.

I now understand how beautiful your work is.

You've borne it well.

You must've suffered.

Your skin mustn't be spoiled.

This is a technique I stole from my master and developed.

Come.

- Where to? - The obvious place!

You allowed me to work on your skin, so you must view the work first.

You and I will view it before the shogun does. Come!

Though it felt like a daily torture,

the time spent with the tattoo artist became a consolation.

What's happened? Why are you crying suddenly?

At first, I felt scared,

and shameful.

It was painful.

But now, being along with you...

I beg you, take me away from here!

I'll do anything for you. I beg you!

Horihide ..

It's about time you showed her to me.

Not yet! You can't see her yet!

It must be hard, being tortured every day.

Or have you become one of oryu's lesbians?

Horihide has gone...

And this horrible genzo will rape me.

I see

any man or woman would be attracted to you.

Be quiet!

I'll show you what really pleases a woman.
