00:00To be continued...
00:30All right, then. I'll get straight to the point. I have a job I would like you to look into.
00:38The owner of a fine art store in Tenmacho came to me with some concerns about a piece he procured recently.
00:46A demonic painting, apparently. It's known by the name The Ukiyo-e of Kudanzaka.
00:54With a reputation like that, I suppose strange rumors are attached.
00:57Well, it's more than just floating rumors. From my understanding, the artist who painted it has become ill and bedridden.
01:05He claims it's the demons getting their vengeance for selling this painting. What do you think?
01:13It seems like a regular painting to me. Although, paranormal objects only show their true colors under the right conditions.
01:23That's right. Very good. Hopefully, it's harmless. But if it turns out that it could bring trouble, then I want you to take care of it.
01:33Consider it done.
01:35Of course, I wouldn't expect you to do any of this for free. I'll make sure you're fairly paid.
01:41You have my fix.
01:43Once all of this is settled, why don't we share a drink or two?
01:49You have my fix.
01:51Let's go.

05:32Let's go.
05:33Let's go.
05:34Let's go.
05:35Let's go.
05:36Let's go.
05:37Let's go.
05:38I know for a fact the artist is bedridden from illness.
05:42And worse, word on the street is that someone who bought the painting got killed.
05:47I don't want to be associated with those rumors.
05:50Well, that's understandable.
05:53Since we're talking about him, does the painter live anywhere around here?
06:00Thanks for waiting.
06:01What do you have there?
06:03Ah, just a little something.
06:05More importantly, I got the details.
06:08They told me the painter lives in Saka'icho.
06:11Much appreciated. I'll handle the rest myself.
06:14Be careful!
06:16Right.
06:23Excuse me, is Master Doshu Saga available?
06:27Yeah.
06:29Come on in!
06:33Been a long time since I've had visitors.
06:36And who might you be?
06:38Yes, of course.
06:40My name is Jinya.
06:41I have made my way out here to seek your knowledge, sir.
06:45Listen, you can drop the formalities.
06:47I'm not important enough for them.
06:49Please, make yourself comfortable.
06:51I was told that you had fallen quite ill as of late.
07:07It's nothing as serious as that.
07:10My old age just happens to be catching up with me.
07:12These bones can't handle the strain of making art anymore.
07:18So it isn't the curse of a demonic painting?
07:20A curse?
07:21What in the world gave you that idea?
07:24Do you work at Segedo or something?
07:26Not at all.
07:27But I did hear that you were the one who created this.
07:31That's Kudanzaka.
07:33Now this little beauty takes me back.
07:35I've been investigating the rumors behind the Ukiyo-e of Kudanzaka to find out if they're true.
07:40Would you be so kind in telling me what you know about it?
07:44Sure.
07:45I can do that for you.
07:47But where exactly should I start?
07:50First, the name itself.
07:52It has no relation to the Kudanzaka locale in Edo.
07:56It actually refers to the woman.
07:57Do you mean to say it's named after the lady you painted?
08:01No, not quite.
08:04Back then, a man who carried a katana forged in Kodono thought of that moniker.
08:10It means Nine Hills.
08:13His name was Motoharu, and he used to visit here very often.
08:26I couldn't even protect the woman I love.
08:29Damn it all.
08:30It doesn't get more pathetic than that.
08:34Hey, Jinka.
08:38To be honest, I couldn't stand Yokoze when we first met each other.
08:43I felt lucky to become a sentinel, but she drove me nuts because I couldn't make sense of her.
08:49Still, that hatred didn't stop me from wanting to keep her safe.
08:53But now look at us.
08:57Everything in life changes with the passage of time.
09:00Even my indelible oath to protect her couldn't last forever.
09:06Don't end up like me, okay?
09:09Jinta.
09:11Become a man who can cherish his hatred.
09:13You're in charge now.
09:20Take care of Shiryuki.
09:22And keep your bond close with Suzune.
09:25Okay?
09:25My apologies.
09:33But the man you named, could you please tell me a little more about him?
09:39Huh?
09:39I am from Kodono Village.
09:42Motoharu was my foster father.
09:44So you're his foster son.
09:47He spoke of you in volumes.
09:49I'll gladly tell you more.
09:51Besides, I can't really explain the painting without going into more detail about him.
09:58Back when I was still in my youth...
10:00Excuse me.
10:10Are you staying here?
10:13Yes.
10:14That's correct.
10:15Well, I'm moving in today.
10:17I'm Doshu Saga.
10:18And you are...
10:20I cannot share my name, but I never lie.
10:23You can just call me Nameless.
10:26Nameless?
10:30Wow, you're really buckling down today.
10:37Finishing another masterpiece?
10:39You bet.
10:41I'm gonna be the best artist in all of Edo.
10:43Well, I hope you will.
10:45It's no joke.
10:46I'm serious.
10:48If you say so.
10:52I'm Motoharu, the Sentinel.
10:54But Itsukihime has ordered me here.
10:56To deliver a letter.
10:58Oh, it's you again.
10:59It's been a while.
11:01Damn it.
11:02Why am I running around like a messenger when I'm supposed to be a Sentinel?
11:06Bullshit.
11:08That woman is so obnoxious.
11:12More bitching today?
11:14You never have anything good to say about this Itsukihime lady.
11:18Obviously.
11:19I thought I'd finally earn some respect.
11:21But I just got sent off to Edo like a servant.
11:24I swear, that woman is more demonic than demons.
11:27Your father was a riot.
11:34Once a year, he would visit me.
11:36He'd always complain to blow off steam.
11:39Did he really?
11:40What?
11:41He always watched his mouth and acted like a proper gentleman around you?
11:46Hate to break it to you, but he was a hot-headed man.
11:51Anyway, back to the topic of Kudansika.
11:54It was originally a bennie I painted by hand when Nameless still lived here.
12:01But much later, the folks from Sen Gendo told me they wanted to sell it.
12:05The pieces for sale now are woodblock prints carved from a new sketch that I made for them.
12:10So then, it's a painting of the woman known as Nameless?
12:15I guess you could say that, but it's not entirely accurate.
12:20You've described Kudansika to people as demonic.
12:24Why is that?
12:25Well, believe it or not, that's exactly what it is.
12:28At its very core, it's been bewitched for sure.
12:31However, before we go further, there is something I have to ask you.
12:39When you first saw Kudansika, what were your thoughts?
12:45Seeing the Miko wearing a jade necklace next to a river made me think of the legend of Princess Nunakawa from Shinano.
12:52Except, the katana she's holding also gave me the impression it may be connected to Kudono and Itsukihime.
13:00Very good analysis.
13:02You're spot on.
13:03Then let me explain why it's demonic.
13:06But just so you know, I think you'll regret hearing this.
13:10You may end up feeling like you were far better off not knowing.
13:19Through the years, Motoharu would travel to Edo as part of his duties,
13:24and stop by here to complain for a little while before going back.
13:28However, I noticed that his attitude towards the Miko he served began to change.
13:33Until one day...
13:35I want you to paint something for me.
13:39Really?
13:40I'm guessing something of your beloved Miko?
13:43That's right.
13:43I remember the days when all you did was bitch about her.
13:47Now you've skipped right to being head over damn heels in love.
13:50So what?
13:53And besides, she's had struggles of her own.
13:56Fine, I'll do it.
13:58But Motoharu, how am I supposed to paint a lady I've never seen?
14:02That won't be a problem.
14:04Because we have Nameless with us.
14:07Nameless?
14:08What about her?
14:09Well, you see, Nameless was originally born in Shinano.
14:14But she faced some hardships that forced her to flee to Kodono.
14:20Then she eventually left and came to settle here in Edo.
14:24Wait, hold on.
14:25I'll admit that comes as a surprise, but what's it got to do with the painting of your Miko?
14:29Because they are connected.
14:31Hmm?
14:31The truth is, Yokoze and Nameless are identical.
14:37So the Ukiyo-e of Kodonsuka is a painting of Lady Yokoze?
14:42The Miko of Kodono Village?
14:45Wow, you're brighter than you look.
14:47So, it was made based on her look-alike, Nameless.
14:50Combined with Motoharu's advice and my imagination.
14:53That's how Kodonsuka was born.
14:56Although it evokes the legend of Princess Nunakawa,
14:59it actually depicts the Itsukihime in your eye.
15:04But what exactly makes it demonic?
15:07Back then, Motoharu once described that woman as being
15:11more demonic than demons.
15:13That's where it comes from.
15:15I just called it that to poke fun at the way he would bitch.
15:19Although, once I made the new sketch at Sengendo's for nostalgia's sake,
15:23I really started feeling my age.
15:25I still think it was a mistake.
15:27That painting was based on real love,
15:31and now karma is punishing me for making money off of it.
15:34So the Sengendo staff took your words to heart,
15:37and believed the painting caused you to fall ill, right?
15:40That's really what it all boils down to.
15:43Just a poorly timed coincidence.
15:45There's nothing cursed about it.
15:47It's a perfectly respectable piece of art.
15:50Why did you assume I would regret learning this?
15:53Good old Kodonsuka.
15:55What a beauty.
15:56Okay, what do you think of this?
16:02It's awful.
16:04Start over.
16:07Have you even been listening to me?
16:12That's not what Yokoze looks like.
16:13You're still not happy with it?
16:23Jeez, what am I supposed to do?
16:26She's more beautiful than that.
16:29To sum it up,
16:30Kodonsuka is Motoharu's heavily embellished version of his beloved Miko.
16:35Now here's the real kicker.
16:36You said when you first saw Kodonsuka,
16:40you told me you thought of Princess Nunakawa.
16:43But Motoharu thought otherwise.
16:46He thought she looked a lot like the goddess Yasaka Tome.
16:50Are you familiar with her?
16:52In my youth,
16:53Motoharu taught me a little about local mythology.
16:56She's a goddess worshipped at the Sua Shrine in Shinano.
16:59That's right.
17:01He probably made that connection because Nameless was born in Shinano.
17:05But who would imagine his foster son would also compare her to a goddess?
17:09You seem pretty damn happy.
17:17Would you like to do the honors and give this beauty a name?
17:21A name?
17:22That's a good question.
17:25Maybe Yasaka Tomei.
17:27Oh no.
17:28My wife's beauty surpasses even that of the gods.
17:31If Yasaka means eight hills,
17:33then I need something better,
17:35something worthy.
17:36So I choose...
17:37Kodonsuka.
17:41See?
17:42I bet you wish I never told you now.
17:44That piece is the result of your father being lovesick.
17:48He just wanted to glorify his wife.
17:50And that is what makes it bewitching.
17:55So the phrase was used to praise her beauty
17:58and not meant as a curse.
18:01Speaking of, buddy,
18:02if you go around calling that painting Kodonsuka,
18:05basically, you will be saying
18:07my mother is more beautiful than gods.
18:11Oh, give me a break.
18:14You finally got that sourpuss look off your face.
18:18I suppose if you didn't know about Kodonsuka until now,
18:22then that would only mean
18:23Motoharu never shared any information about her with his kids.
18:31Here.
18:34What is this?
18:35A test painting I made back then.
18:38I hope you'll overlook the fact it's gotten a bit dirty.
18:41I know I harped on him a lot,
18:44but please don't hold a grudge against Motoharu.
18:47Despite being a dumbass,
18:49he truly cared for his family.
18:51He made fewer and fewer trips to Edo after his daughter's birth.
18:55Then, on his last visit,
18:56he spoke of his new adoptive son and daughter
18:59and never came back.
19:01That's the kind of guy he was.
19:03Of course, I'm aware.
19:15My father always taught me
19:17the important lessons needed to grow in life.
19:21Hmm.
19:22Wonderful.
19:27Here's your order of kakei soba.
19:30Hmm?
19:31What seems to be the problem, pal?
19:33You're staring at me.
19:35You're just...
19:36great at being a father.
19:39Hmm?
19:39What's gotten into you?
19:41That's so out of the ordinary.
19:43Did something happen with that unusual Ukiyo-e painting?
19:48It wasn't that big of a deal.
19:51Although...
19:52I did learn about a side of my foster father
19:54that I never knew before.
19:56It was a bit startling.
19:58That's just how fathers are.
20:01Mine is the same way.
20:02He's not all sunshine and rainbows.
20:05He has a loud mouth.
20:06Plus, he freaks out at the drop of a hat.
20:09And he can be a blackhead at times.
20:11Hey!
20:11You're talking about me, aren't you?
20:14Yes, but only kind comments.
20:16Uh-huh.
20:17But that's all a part of who he is.
20:22I suppose you're right about that.
20:29There were no problems with the painting.
20:31It's demonic reputation was the result of the artist voicing some regrets he had.
20:38No harm will come from it, whether it's kept or sold.
20:41What about the death it supposedly caused?
20:43Forgive my blunt words, but mere happenstance.
20:48It's true that an individual who owned the painting passed away.
20:51But I obtained that copy and found nothing suspect about it.
20:55Well, I suppose this isn't worth making any type of fuss over.
20:59It's just strokes of good and bad luck.
21:01Thank you for solving it.
21:04I'll fetch your pay before you leave.
21:07For now, let's get you a drink.
21:10You first.
21:18Now it's your turn.
21:28Is drinking sake something you partake in often?
21:31Drinking used to be only an escape for me.
21:39But at some point, it became more of a pastime.
21:43Especially since recent brews have good flavor.
21:47And you?
21:47Do you have a taste for it?
21:49Yes.
21:51Enough to enjoy a cup or two at night at least.
21:57If that's the case, we should do this again sometime.
22:01Certainly, it would be my pleasure.
22:08It's your turn.
22:15I'll be right back.
22:17It's your turn.
22:18I don't know.
22:48I don't know.
23:18I don't know.
