I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

When Ogata was heading straight for Ezo on Minamoto Tachibana's merchant ship——

Edo, somewhere——

"Please give me 8 steamed buns."

Hongzhi handily stuffed a handful of copper coins to the manager of the wagashi shop in front of him.

"Oh! Samurai-sama, good afternoon!"

After receiving the coins from Hongzhi, the store manager greeted Hongzhi warmly.

These days, Hongzhi often comes to him to buy wagashi, and he has become acquainted with each other after coming and going.

After counting the coins and confirming that the number of coins was correct, the store manager skillfully packed 8 steamed buns and handed them to Hong Zhi.

With the steamed buns still warm in his arms, Hongzhi was on his way back to the hotel.

This wagashi shop is not far from the hotel where he and his master live.

After turning a corner, the slightly dilapidated hotel appeared within Hongzhi's field of vision.

Looking at the hotel in front of him where he and his master had lived for a while, a strange expression slowly appeared on Hongzhi's face.

——Is that Mashima Goro so good...

As he said this secretly, he sighed heavily.

Just when he was about to enter the hotel along the door of the hotel, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Oh! Finally found it! Hey! Hongzhi!"

Hearing this familiar shout, Hong Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head following the sound.

"Mr. Hosaka! Mizuno-kun!"

The shout that was quite familiar to Hongzhi just now was the voice of Hosaka.

Hosaka strode towards Hongzhi while waving vigorously at Hongzhi.

And Mizuno, who is Huosaka's apprentice, followed closely behind Husaka.

...

...

"Hisaka! It's been a long time!"

Ishida patted Kasaka's shoulder with his left hand, while pouring wine for Kasaka with his right hand.

At this moment, Ishida, Hongzhi, Huosaka, and Mizuno - these two pairs of master and apprentice are crowded in the hotel where Ishida and Hongzhi lived during this time.

Although the room is not big, it is more than enough for 4 men to sit cross-legged.

"It took me a lot of effort to find you!" Hosaka grinned.

After repelling the gang of bandits with Ogata, Hosaka decided to go south to Edo, spend a year there, and find an old friend I haven't seen for a long time in Edo by the way-Ishida and Ishida's apprentice Hongzhi.

Hurrying all the way, Hosaka and Mizuno finally arrived in Edo before the New Year.

After the master and apprentice lived a stable year in Edo and played with all their heart, they set out to look for Ishida.

The way they both find people is also very simple.

Hosaka has friends all over the world, and here in Edo there are many people who know both Hosaka and Ishida.

So I kept asking all the way, and finally found a friend who knew Ishida's whereabouts.

Following Ishida's whereabouts revealed by his friends,

Hosaka searched all the way, and finally bumped into Hongzhi who bought the steamed buns today and was about to return to the hotel.

Kasaka and Ishida are good friends.

After Hongzhi led Hosaka and Mizuno into the room where he and his master lived, Ishida was stunned for a moment in surprise, and then laughed and hugged Hosaka.

Then he took out all the drinks he was currently carrying, and wanted to have a good time with this friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Ishida and Hosaka chat happily.

Mizuno, who was sitting behind Hosaka, was not very familiar with Ishida and Koji, so he just drank in silence.

Hongzhi was also like this, he was not very familiar with Hosaka and Mizuno, so he just drank in silence.

So there was such a scene: the two masters chatted happily there, while the two apprentices drank wine silently there.

"Hisaka, it's been so long since the last farewell, did you encounter any interesting things?" Ishida asked, filling his glass again.

"Hmph." Hosaka smiled, "I have encountered many interesting things."

"Coincidentally." Ishida laughed along with him, "Me too."

"Let's not talk about this for now." Hosaka drank the wine in his glass in one go, then looked around, "Ishida, tell me what's going on in your room first, why are there so many pens, ink and paper?"

Just now, when he entered the hotel room where Ishida and Hongzhi lived, Hosaka discovered that there were a lot of pens, ink and paper in this room, which were spread everywhere.

Hearing Kasaka's question, Ishida chuckled.

"It's nothing, I'm just trying to write a Joruri Bunraku puppet show."

"Joruri puppet show?" Hosaka frowned.

Kasaka naturally knew what the Joruri puppet show was.

To put it simply, joruri puppetry is a stage performance art that has a huge audience like kabuki and is loved by people of all walks of life.

However, in the Joruri puppet show, puppeteers hold puppets that are half the height of a person or equal to the height of a person, and perform performances and stories there.

For the Joruri puppet show, Hosaka has never been very cold.

Because Kasaka hates those puppets.

Looking at those puppets made to look exactly like human beings, Kasaka felt goosebumps were about to stand on end.

Although Hosaka himself is not interested in this, he knows that Ishida likes joruri puppet shows very much.

"Ishida." Hosaka folded his hands in front of his chest, "I know you like the joruri puppet show very much. What? Because you like it so much, your hands itch, and you can't help but want to write your own. A puppet show?"

"That's not true." Ishida smiled and shook his head.

After draining the wine in the glass, Ishida put on a slightly more serious face.

"Hisaka, I'm telling you the truth."

"When I brought Hongzhi to Edo and asked Hongzhi to participate in the "Imperial Trial" to see the world, I met a very attractive man."

Ishida told the story of how he met "that man" he just mentioned in a calm tone.

From how they met, he talked all the way to the fact that in order to know more about him, he spent a lot of effort to find out about that person.

Then I learned what that person did in Yoshiwara.

For example: In order to regain the credit that originally belonged to the Shirobei Club, he did not hesitate to confront the Huofu bandits, and finally retreated unscathed miraculously.

Another example: winning the first place in the "literary test" of the imperial trial, and facing a banner warrior who was about to kill a bannerman who accidentally soiled his saber, and then miraculously retreated again.

Both Hosaka and Mizuno were fascinated by it without knowing it.

"What an incredible hero!" Hosaka slapped his thigh, "I didn't expect there to be so many heroes in this world! And then? What happened to that hero?"

"That hero left Edo suddenly." A wry smile appeared on Hosaka's face. "I asked Yoshihara, who worked for him. He left Edo because of some things."

"Even the people in the Shirobei clubhouse in Yoshiwara don't know exactly where that person went."

"But whether the people in Shirobei Club really don't know, or if they don't know, I don't know..."

"That's it...he's not in Edo anymore..." Hosaka showed regret, "What a pity, if that hero is still in Edo now, I really want to get to know him better."

"It's a pity not to make friends with such a hero."

Ishida filled his own wine glass, drank the wine in the glass again, and continued:

"How? He's a very charming hero, isn't he?"

"Yeah." Hosaka nodded without thinking, "Just listening to your description of him makes my blood boil."

"That's why I fell in love with him." Ishida said abruptly.

There was an instant silence in the room.

Because it was too quiet, the atmosphere became weird.

After a while, Hosaka tilted his head: "...huh?"

If the words just now were spoken by other men, it would not be surprising.

But these words were spoken by Ishida...

This made Hizaka and Mizuno's mood more subtle...

"I think such a charismatic hero who is not afraid of power is worthy of being remembered by future generations."

Ishida said word by word.

"The only entertainment art I am familiar with is puppet show."

"So I wanted to adapt his deeds into a joruri puppet show."

"Just like people remembered heroes of the Warring States Period such as Sanada Yukimura and Takeda Shingen through story books, I want future generations to remember that hero through puppet shows."

"Let that hero be 'immortal' in the puppet show."

Ishida's tone was so serious that there was no hint of a joke.

This serious tone announced to Hizaka and Mizuno invisibly: he is quite serious.

After silently listening to Ishida's words, Hosaka frowned slightly:

"... Ishida, you don't have any... other feelings for that hero, do you?"

Hearing Hosaka's rhetorical question, Ishida froze for a moment, then raised his hand to run through his hair.

"I admit that I do have other feelings for that man."

"The reason why I decided to adapt his deeds into Kabuki is indeed because of some selfishness of mine."

"But me and him may not be possible. I may not see him for the rest of my life."

"Because there is no chance between me and that person, Hongzhi agreed to let me write a puppet show based on that person's deeds."

Ishida smiled wryly, and turned his head to look at Hongzhi who was sitting behind him.

Facing Ishida's gaze, Hongzhi didn't make any response, just continued to drink silently.

"Although I do have some special feelings for him, everything I just said is true."

"The reason why I want to write a puppet show based on the hero's deeds is mainly out of justice."

"I sincerely want to let future generations know that there is still such a respectable hero in this chaotic Kansei years."

"...I understand the specific details." Hosaka nodded, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you, Ishida, to have such feelings... You actually planned to make that hero 'eternal' in the puppet show."

"By the way, what's the name of that hero? I haven't heard your introduction."

"Ah..." Ishida showed embarrassment, "I just kept telling the story of that hero, and forgot to tell you his name."

"That person's name is Mashima Goro."

As soon as Ishida finished speaking, the expressions of Hosaka and Mizuno suddenly changed.

It's getting pretty weird.

"Mashima Goro?" Hosaka asked urgently, "Ishida, how do you write this name in Chinese characters?"

Although Ishida was puzzled, he obediently dipped his fingers in some wine and neatly wrote the four Chinese characters "Mashima Goro" on the tatami.

Looking at the four Chinese characters written by Ishida on the tatami, the expressions on the faces of Hosaka and Mizuno became even weirder.

"I didn't expect... there is such a coincidence in this world." The expression on Hosaka's face changed quite wonderfully.

"Huh?" Ishida wondered, "What's such a coincidence?"

"Ishida, don't be too surprised." Hosaka smiled meaningfully, "Mizuno and I met this Mashima Goro not long ago."

"What?" Ishida's eyes widened in surprise.

Koji, who was sitting next to Ishida, had a similar expression to Ishida.

Hosaka slowly told the story of how he, Mizuno and "Mashima Goro" fought against the bandits together.

At the same time, Hosaka also informed Ishida of the appearance of "Mashima Goro".

After Hosaka's voice fell, Ishida was still in a trance due to excessive shock.

"It's him... the appearance is exactly the same... it must be him, it's such a coincidence... so Mashima-kun has gone to Oshu... where is Mashima-kun now?"

Hosaka shook his head: "I don't know. He just said that he will continue to practice martial arts. He may be continuing to practice somewhere in Japan now."

Seeing that Hosaka didn't know the whereabouts of "Mashima Goro", Ishida's face flashed with disappointment.

"Hasaka, did you also meet Mashima-kun by chance..." Ishida lowered his head and muttered, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After a while, Ishida raised his head, and said to Kasaka seriously.

"Hisaka, do you have any urgent things to do later?"

"Ah?" Hosaka replied without any thought, "No. You also know that since I left the feudal domain, I am free every day. I can do whatever I want, and there is never any urgent need to do. "

"That's good!" Ishida grabbed Hosaka's hands violently, "Then can you stay here in Edo and write my puppet show based on Mashima-kun with me?"

"It just happens that the deeds of you and Mashima-kun fighting bandits together can be incorporated into the play! It makes Mashima-kun's image of a 'hero' even more profound."

"Huh? This..." Hosaka pursed his lips, thinking seriously.

Working together to compile a puppet show——Kasaka thinks it's quite interesting.

But Hosaka doesn't really like this kind of thing that requires brains.

While Kasaka was thinking, Mizuno sitting behind him was remembering.

Mizuno still remembers the experience of fighting bandits together with "Mashima Goro" and what he said to Mizuno when he was about to part with "Mashima Goro".

Especially the phrase "no need to wait for the torch".

"...Master, stay and write the puppet show together." Mizuno said.

Hosaka turned his head, and looked at Mizuno with doubts and surprises.

"It's quite interesting, isn't it?" Mizuno smiled, "And just as Ishida-sama said just now—a hero like Mashima-sama is indeed worth passing down his deeds from generation to generation."

His apprentice directly agreed.

Kasaka hesitated for a while, and finally sighed heavily.

"Fine."

"Ishida, my apprentice and I will stay here in Edo for a while and write this puppet show with you."

"I'm very grateful." Ishida bowed, "Then—let's start learning how to write puppet show scripts. I've been studying for many days, and I have some clues."

"What?!" Hosaka exclaimed, "Don't you know how the script of the puppet show is written? Don't you like puppet show very much?"

"I just like watching puppet shows." Ishida said with a confident attitude, "Like watching, doesn't mean you know how to write puppet show scripts."

"It's not too late, let's start now!"

...

...

In the third year of Kanzheng (1791 AD), on January 26, in the afternoon——

Ogata and A-Machi stood side by side at the stern, looking at the sea.

Today's weather is very good, no snow, only beams of warm sunshine down.

It's a pity not to get some fresh air on the deck in such fine weather.

Few people come to the stern, so during this period of time, the stern has almost become Ogata’s "secret base". When the weather outside is fine and A-Machi does not need his care, he will go to the stern to see the scenery and get some air .

At present, the sea area where the merchant ships are sailing, the current is quite stable, and the ships hardly sway.

Ah-cho also felt better today, and he could go up to the deck and enjoy the scenery with spare energy.

So in order not to waste this rare opportunity to "be more comfortable", Ah-machi followed Ogata to the stern of the boat to watch the sea view.

The scenery is beautiful.

Just the sea breeze is a little annoying.

Another gust of cold wind blew in with a bone-chilling chill.

"It's really cold..." Ah-Ming tied the scarf around his neck tighter.

"After all, it's almost time to reach Ezo." Ogata on the side answered.

"How long will it take to see land?" A-Machi continued to ask.

"It should be soon." Ogata answered, "The crew member told me this morning that if there is no accident, it will arrive in the afternoon. So it should be able to land soon."

Today is their 8th day at sea.

Originally, according to Soichiro Nishino and Ogata, it would take them about 10 days to reach Ezo.

But their luck is very good.

Since going out to sea, I haven't encountered any bad weather, and I have encountered frequent tailwinds, so the speed is faster than expected.

This morning, some crew members notified Ogata and the others——by this afternoon, they should be able to reach Ezo land smoothly.

It was already afternoon, and their short sea trip should come to an end in a short time.

"Finally we can land..." Ah-Ming let out a sigh of relief, "The sea is really uncomfortable..."

"How do you feel now?" Ogata asked concerned, "Do you still feel uncomfortable now?"

"I'm fine now. I'm still a little dizzy, but I don't feel sick anymore."

Having said that, A-Machi sighed lightly.

"Hey... why do I have such a physique that is afraid of the sea..."

"With such a physique, I can't travel across the sea..."

"Originally, I planned to take a boat to visit the Nanman country if I had the opportunity in the future."

"Huh? Ah Ding, are you interested in the Nanban country?" Ogata's face showed a bit of surprise.

Until now, people in this era are still accustomed to referring to Europeans and Americans as Nanban, because the first European ship landed in southern Japan more than 200 years ago.

Because it appeared in the south, it is called "Nanman", and this habit of calling has survived to the present.

A-cho wants to travel to Europe and America by boat—this is the first time Ogata has heard of it.

"Rather than being interested in the country of the Nanman, it might be better to say that I am interested in the firearms of the Nanman." Ah Ding smiled, "The firearms of the Nanman are very developed, so if there is a chance, I would like to go to the Nanman. Look at the country."

"It's a pity, with my body that is afraid of the sea, it should be difficult for me to go to the Nanman country."

"It is said that it will take at least half a year to travel to the Nanban country by boat."

"If I want to spend half a year at sea, I may lose half of my life when I land in the Nanman country..."

"Is it a country of the Southern Man..." Ogata turned his head and looked towards the sea level to the west.

Then he said jokingly:

"A-Ding, if you want to go to the Nanban country, there are actually other ways besides going by sea."

"Oh? What method?"

"First take a boat across the Tsushima Strait, arrive at the North Korean country, then follow the North Korean country into the Tang Dynasty, and then go all the way west."

"You should also know, right? Tang Tu and Nanman's countries are on the same continent, but they are a little far apart."

"As long as you go west all the way, you can reach the country of Nanman."

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, A-Machi said angrily:

"If you go to the Nanman country in this way, wouldn't you have traveled through most of the world? How many years will it take to get to the Nanman country?"

Ogata was just talking casually just now.

A-Machi could also tell that Ogata was just joking with her, so he just pretended to be angry.

Just when Ogata and A-Machi were chatting casually and happily, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind them.

The two followed the sound and looked back.

A crew member was walking briskly toward the two of them.

"Mashima-sama!" the crew member shouted, "We are about to enter the port of Matsumae Castle!"

...

...

During this short sea trip, Ogata occasionally had opportunities to chat with Soichiro Nishino.

Through chatting with Soichiro Nishino during this period of time, Ogata learned a lot about Ezo and Ezo.

The shogunate's sphere of influence only touched a tiny piece of land in the southern part of Ezo.

On this small piece of land in the south of Ezo, a small feudal kingdom of Matsumae was established.

Because the Matsumae Clan is so small, the Matsumae Clan has only one town—their capital, Matsumae Castle.

And this is the only city town of the Matsumae Domain, and because of its proximity to the sea, it has the only port in the huge Ezo region.

This port is the destination of Yuanjuya's caravan.

After the crew member informed Ogata that he was about to arrive at the port, Ogata and Atachi rushed to the bow of the ship and looked north.

After a while, a port of considerable momentum and scale appeared within Ogata's field of vision.

"Is that the port of Matsumae Castle..." Ogata murmured.

Ogata had originally thought that the port might be shabby.

After actually witnessing it, he found that it was much larger than he imagined.

Not only is the scale larger than imagined, but there are also many more ships docking and entering and leaving this port than imagined.

"A Yi, look quickly, there are so many boats." A Ding suddenly pointed to the southwest.

Ogata looked in the direction that Machi's finger pointed.

It was found that in the southwest there was a small fleet that was slowly heading north.

Their destination should also be the port not far away.

"strangeness……"

At this moment, Ogata heard Soichiro Nishino next to him murmur full of doubts.

Soichiro Nishino had been standing by Ogata's side just now, and followed Ogata to look at the port that had appeared in the range of vision.

Soichiro Nishino discovered the fleet in the southwest with Machi at almost the same time.

"Why are there so many shogunate ships..."

"Is that fleet the shogunate's fleet?" Ogata asked.

"Yeah." Soichiro Nishino nodded, "Only the shogunate can use that type of ship, and only the shogunate's ships can paint the sunflower pattern on the ship."

"It's really strange... It's the first time I've seen so many official ships haunting the port..."

After muttering in doubt, Soichiro Nishino turned his gaze back.

He was not interested in the ships of the shogunate, he just felt a little puzzled and curious.

And so is Ogata. He is also not very interested in the ships of the shogunate and the affairs of the shogunate.

So after taking a few glances at the shogunate fleet that was also heading towards the port, he turned his gaze back.

...

...

The two merchant ships of Yuanjuya docked steadily at the port.

The guys under Soichiro Nishino began to unload the things on the ship.

"Mr. Nishino, thank you for taking care of me these days."

Ogata thanked him, and bowed deeply to Soichiro Nishino in front of him.

Atachi, who was standing beside Ogata, followed quickly, and followed Ogata to bow to Soichiro Nishino to thank him.

At this moment, Ogata and Atachi were standing somewhere in the port, ready to say goodbye to Soichiro Nishino.

"Master Mashima, Mrs. Mashima, you don't need to be too polite." Soichiro Nishino hurriedly returned the salute, "I should be the one who should thank you. Thank you for spending so much time helping Inuko write his Kabuki script."

"I just did some trivial things."

After Ogata and Nishino said a few polite farewell words in turn, Nishino left, preparing to command his men to unload the carriage and other things loaded on the ship.

And Ogata and A-Machi also tightened their luggage behind their backs, preparing to leave the port and enter Matsumae Castle.

Going north along the port, you can enter Matsumae Castle.

Looking at the north, Ah-cho couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Finally... arrived in Ezo..."

"Yeah." Ogata also sighed, "It's far away..."

It took a lot of effort, and now I have finally successfully boarded Ezo.

The trip to Ezo - now it has finally officially begun.

...

...

After Ogata and Atachi left the port, they walked northward all the way.

Soon, the two arrived in the urban area connected to the port.

After entering the urban area, the two immediately felt the "exotic style" coming to their faces.

Although the surrounding buildings are still Japanese-style buildings.

The clothes worn by the people around are also kimono.

But the atmosphere in the air is quite different from all the places Ogata has visited before.

I can't tell, I can't explain it, but I just feel the difference.

Even the temperature is quite different.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew.

"hiss……"

Ah-Ming was gasping for breath while pulling his clothes tight.

"As expected of the land of Ezo located in the northern border..." A-Machi muttered, "It's cold enough..."

The first thing Ogata and the others have to do now is naturally to find a hotel with moderate price and quality.

If nothing else, the two of them should live here for a long time.

The Matsumae Castle where the two are currently located is the only town in the Matsumae Domain and Ezo, and it has the only port in Ezo.

The biggest suspect in the Butterfly Island Incident, who might be able to cure Ogata's "immortal poison"——If the two masters and apprentices Xuanzheng and Xuanzhi came to Ezodi, then they have a great possibility It landed at Matsumae Castle.

So Matsumae Castle most likely has clues about the whereabouts of the two of them.

Ogata decided to start the investigation from the only town in the Matsumae domain.

He randomly found a passer-by, and asked the location of the hotel that was closest to the two of them, and at the same time, it was not low-grade.

When walking straight in the direction pointed by the passer-by just now, Ogata, who was following A-Machi and looking at everything around him with curious eyes, suddenly lowered his voice and whispered to A-Machi beside him.

"Machi, did you notice what's behind us?"

When Ogata was asking questions, he still maintained a look of looking around, and his expression was normal.

"Well, I noticed that too." The same goes for A-Machi. Equally unassuming when speaking.

Just when they left the port and entered the city, Xu felt that someone was following them.

Those who follow them are quite persistent, until now they are still sticking tightly behind them, not letting them go.

But their tracking technology is very poor.

Not to mention the female ninja A-machi who has received relevant training.

Even Ogata, who has not received similar training, is just much more sensitive than ordinary people, and can clearly sense that someone is following them.

No more, no less, the total number of people following them was 3 people.

After thinking for a moment, Ogata said softly to A-cho, "Let's go this way."

After saying that, Ogata led A-Machi and turned to the street on the right.

After turning around in this unfamiliar land, finally——Ogata led A-Machi into an alley where no one could be seen in the front, back, left, and right sides.

As soon as he entered the alley, Xu turned around and said loudly behind him:

"Can I come out?"

Ogata didn't want a group of unknown people who had been following them to know what and where the hotel they were staying in would be.

If the location of the hotel where I will stay in the future is known to a group of people who have been following them, God knows what troubles will come to the door.

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, he saw three figures slowly stepping out of the shadows.

After the three figures appeared, Ogata finally saw their faces clearly.

And the next moment when they saw their faces clearly, Ogata and Atachi both showed a bit of surprise on their faces.

Although these three people are all wearing kimonos, their facial features are completely different from those of Japanese people.

The complexion is darker, and the facial features are deeper and more three-dimensional—the appearance is a bit like that of Western white people.

As soon as the three of them emerged from the shadows they had just hidden in, they took out something from under their thick clothes without making a sound.

bow.

All three of them took out a bow from under their thick clothes.

The bows in their hands are not the kind of bows that are as tall as a person, but their bows are shorter.

Drawing out the bow, nodding the arrow, aiming at Ogata and A-Ming, and shooting—the action was done in one go, without any hesitation or a word to Ogata and the others.

Just draw the bow and shoot.

At the moment when the arrow flew out, the faces of the three people who had been expressionless showed a few hints of ferocity and ecstasy.

It was as if they had already met the scene where Ogata and A-Machi were killed by the arrows they shot, and then celebrated in advance.

In a way, they can be regarded as encountering the same kind.

They are quite decisive.

But today they met a more decisive person...

Facing the arrows they shot, Ogata's expression remained the same, without any change in expression.

The length of the waist that can be pulled out quickly is short, and it is easy to use in a narrow space.

clang! clang! clang!

The knife light flashed 3 times.

The three arrows flying towards them were all blocked by Ogata, and then deviated from the original direction.

Ogata didn't expect—there would be an opportunity to try out the "grandmaster level" blade counter so soon.

It has been upgraded to the top blade counter, which has increased Ogata's defensive ability to a rather terrifying level.

Relying on the "grandmaster level" blade counter, coupled with his own reflexes that had been raised to 15 points, Ogata easily blocked their arrows.

Then without a run-up, he jumped towards the 3 guys who attacked them involuntarily.

The expression changes of these three people are very rich now.

In a hurry, he wanted to take out new arrows for a new wave of attacks.

But it's too late.

The already extremely high strength and agility give Ogata extremely explosive power.

In the blink of an eye, Ogata jumped in front of these three people.

Dao Guang from top to bottom.

From the right shoulder to the left abdomen of the head of the 3 people.

There was an error in the previous post.

When Hongzhi and the others appeared on stage again, they called the puppet show this way: "Joruri Bunraku Puppet Show".

Here is a historical error, I didn't check it out, it's my fault, my fault.

At this time, there was no such thing as "Joruri Bunraku Puppet Show", and they were all called "Joruri Bunraku Puppet Show" or "Puppet Show".

It was not until the end of the 19th century, when the Edo Shogunate was destroyed, that it was called "Joruri Bunraku Puppet Show".

Because at the end of the 19th century, there was a rather famous theater called "Bunrakuza". Many puppet shows are performed in this theater, so the name "Joruri Bunraku Puppet Show" gradually came into being.

The author makes minor corrections and corrections here.
