00:00:002025 Osaka Kansai Banpaku ni kite ne!
00:00:31The beginning of the Moyoshi, which can be said to be the beginning of the whole story, goes back to the middle of the Edo period.
00:00:38They gathered rare and rare models from all over the country and surprised and moved people.
00:00:45It was the first time that Hiraga Gennai called for such an exhibition to be held all over Japan.
00:00:56Speaking of Hiraga Gennai, yes, you know.
00:01:01ELECTER.
00:01:03A mysterious machine that generates static electricity caused a sensation all over Edo.
00:01:12Gennai's activities are truly self-explanatory.
00:01:18At one time, he became a writer and won several bestsellers.
00:01:24At another time, he became a painter and created the first western painting in Japan.
00:01:31As a multi-creator with talent in various fields, Gennai made his name known in Edo.
00:01:40However, there was a problem that always troubled him.
00:01:46His dream was big, but he didn't have enough money.
00:01:52In fact, Gennai was just an old man who jumped out of the gang.
00:01:56He had a hard time with his business, and he even had a huge debt.
00:02:04Even so, he called himself a poor man, and he rushed to Edo.
00:02:14Experts from various fields gathered in the studio.
00:02:18They approached Gennai's work.
00:02:23He's good at making fingers that make people want to stop.
00:02:28I think he's an excellent producer.
00:02:30He's the kind of person who says, I'll do it.
00:02:35He's like a drill in a tunnel that makes a hole in the rail.
00:02:42Hiraga Gennai made Edo fun with his extraordinary personality.
00:02:47He is approaching the secret that enabled him to be active in his prime.
00:03:17Good evening, everyone.
00:03:29At the turning point in history, the choice was made by the heroes.
00:03:33What did they think and worry about at that time?
00:03:38And what would you do?
00:03:40The main character of this time is...
00:03:43Hiraga Gennai
00:03:45He is known as a multi-creator who has demonstrated his talent in various fields.
00:03:50What are you looking at today?
00:03:52Today, I'm going to talk about the way of Edo, which is a little different from the modern era.
00:03:59In the modern era, we talk about the discovery of natural law and rationality.
00:04:04But in the Edo period, we have forgotten the shape of Edo.
00:04:09If Edo is not fun, it is not technology.
00:04:11If there is no surprise, it is not science.
00:04:13In the Edo period, Erechthele was very close to art and entertainment.
00:04:22The hint of the revival of Japan is full of curiosity.
00:04:25I would like to talk about the choice of the heroes of the Edo period.
00:04:35Let's take a look at the life of Gennai.
00:04:39Gennai is a quiet town in Sannuki City, Kagawa Prefecture.
00:04:52Gennai was born in the house of a high-ranking samurai of the Takamatsu clan around the 13th year of the Kyoho period.
00:04:58As a descendant of the Takamatsu clan, he was raised by the Takamatsu family.
00:05:02From an early age, he was educated in math and science.
00:05:12However, Gennai was a boy who was passionate about observing plants and animals.
00:05:22In the Oishima period, Gennai was left behind.
00:05:30In the 18th century, which is known as the century of botany,
00:05:38there was a boom in the study of plants and animals in Japan.
00:05:51In order to develop new resources and industries,
00:05:56the government, which was facing financial difficulties, ordered a strong investigation in the first half of the 19th century.
00:06:06During this period, the Takamatsu clan leader, Yoritaka Matsudaira,
00:06:11was known for his efforts in the study of plants and animals.
00:06:15He was a so-called master of plants and animals.
00:06:21He brought in seawater from the Takamatsu castle,
00:06:25and studied the fish that lived in the Seto Inland Sea.
00:06:28He raised his clan and started to study plants and animals.
00:06:37One of Yoritaka's most famous achievements was
00:06:40the creation of a biography of plants and animals, starting with the Shurin-Zu.
00:06:46The Shurin-Zu is a drawing of a aquatic organism living in the Takamatsu castle.
00:06:54Yoritaka collected the techniques of the time and created this masterpiece.
00:07:02For example, this horse mackerel.
00:07:04By using metal foil, the surface of the horse mackerel changes when the light hits it.
00:07:10Yoritaka observed the horse mackerel closely and pursued realistic expression.
00:07:23In fact, Hiraga Gennai, who was in his 30s, was involved in the creation of this Shurin-Zu.
00:07:30Gennai used Yoritaka as his main sculptor since he was young,
00:07:35and demonstrated his knowledge.
00:07:41Fujita Shoichi, who studied the Shurin-Zu and Gennai,
00:07:45said that there was a relationship of trust between Yoritaka and Gennai that transcended class.
00:07:53In the process of doing research,
00:07:56the two of them went beyond class and class.
00:08:00Yoritaka must have been grateful and attached to Gennai for his knowledge and opinion.
00:08:08Yoritaka must have been grateful and attached to Gennai for his knowledge and opinion.
00:08:25The experience at the age of 25 was the key to bringing knowledge to Gennai.
00:08:31After receiving permission from his class, he decided to study abroad in Nagasaki for about a year.
00:08:41At that time, Nagasaki was the only defense mechanism that was opened overseas in Japan.
00:08:51Nagasaki was imported from the Netherlands and China as a gateway,
00:08:56and the most advanced precision machines and academic books were imported.
00:09:01All of them were new to Gennai.
00:09:11This stimulating experience in Nagasaki left a strong impression on Gennai.
00:09:18Returning to Takamatsu-han, Gennai gave up his family to his younger sister,
00:09:23and became an old man himself, leaving his class behind.
00:09:27He wanted to establish himself in a wider world, so he headed to Edo.
00:09:37Gennai was reading a book at a hot spring on the way.
00:09:48Iwagari-ya. The Summer of the World.
00:09:57Satoshi Ishigami, a researcher of Edo literature, said that
00:10:01the high level of emotion in Gennai at that time was reflected in this country.
00:10:09I think I was confident that I was the chosen one.
00:10:16If I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have tried to leave Takamatsu-han.
00:10:24Takamatsu-han was a place where I could use my talent.
00:10:30I think I was too narrow-minded.
00:10:38Gennai arrived in Edo, Shinten-chi, when he was 30 years old.
00:10:46When he entered the house of Tamura Ransui, a well-known Korean researcher,
00:10:51he began to devote himself to research.
00:10:58The first thing he did in Ransui was to hold an exhibition called Yakuhin-e.
00:11:06This is a small exhibition hall where the researchers exchange information.
00:11:18Soon, he became the host of Yakuhin-e.
00:11:23He became famous in Ransui.
00:11:28The third exhibition, Yakuhin-e,
00:11:32showed 50 kinds of rare herbs from the Netherlands.
00:11:42Gennai became known as the home of Shinshin-ki-e.
00:11:48On the other hand, there was a man who was a fan of Gennai in Edo.
00:11:55He was Yoritaka Matsudaira, a member of Takamatsu-han.
00:12:03He wanted to eat Gennai again,
00:12:07so he asked Takamatsu-han to pay him four times as much as before.
00:12:13He paid Takamatsu-han four times as much as before.
00:12:20And he entrusted Gennai to Han's work one after another.
00:12:31For example, he appointed a person in charge of a herbal garden to take care of plants.
00:12:39When Yoritaka left Han, he asked Gennai to follow him,
00:12:45and sometimes he ordered him to collect plants and shellfish.
00:12:57Gennai was fascinated by Han's work.
00:13:09He was so busy that he didn't know what he was doing.
00:13:19He was so busy that he couldn't concentrate on his research.
00:13:31Gennai had a tingling feeling.
00:13:39We have a variety of guests this time as well.
00:13:45First of all, Kondo Koyama, one of the theme producers of Osaka Kansai Banpaku.
00:13:53There was also the expression of a multi-creator,
00:13:58but I think the most important thing to proceed with various projects is curiosity.
00:14:04In that sense, I think he was a curious person.
00:14:10For example, when I think of a new project,
00:14:15I always think about whether it is new or fun for me,
00:14:20or whether it will make someone happy.
00:14:26I think Gennai was conscious of whether it would be useful to the world.
00:14:32I think he was aiming to make Honzogaku useful to society,
00:14:39so I think he had a strong desire to improve society.
00:14:45Next is Mr. Satoshi Ishigami, a national literature scholar.
00:14:49Mr. Ishigami, are you mainly researching Gennai as a writer?
00:14:53Yes. The aspect of Gennai as a writer is not widely known yet,
00:14:59so I think it would be good to have a higher rating.
00:15:07I think they lived in an era where there was no boundary
00:15:13between Honzogaku and literature.
00:15:21In the case of Gennai in particular,
00:15:25I wrote a very interesting text that expressed my knowledge of Honzogaku.
00:15:32So Honzogaku and literature are connected.
00:15:36Yes. Now we are divided into literature and literature,
00:15:41but I think they were actually connected.
00:15:45Next is Ms. Riko Imahashi, a Japanese artist.
00:15:48I'm Riko Imahashi.
00:15:50We saw a picture of a forest earlier,
00:15:53but Gennai was also involved in the production of such a picture book.
00:15:57Yes. I think there was a picture of a sea bream and a jellyfish.
00:16:03In fact, not only was it drawn on paper,
00:16:07but it was all cut out once, and it was very difficult to paste it again.
00:16:13And the paint used for coloring, for example,
00:16:17there is a white paint called gofun,
00:16:20and it is colored on top of the gofun,
00:16:23and gold leaf is pasted on top of it.
00:16:26Then, depending on the condition of the light,
00:16:29it is as if the real fish is in front of you.
00:16:35The idea to make such a thing,
00:16:38I think it is impossible to do other than Gennai.
00:16:43I'm doing a pavilion in Osaka,
00:16:47and when I saw it, I wanted to use it at home.
00:16:51I think it will impress a lot of people even if I do it now.
00:16:55It's impressive even if I see it now.
00:16:58You never compromise, do you?
00:17:00When it comes to showing it to the real thing.
00:17:03But I don't have enough budget at home.
00:17:05If you reproduce it now, it will be very expensive, right?
00:17:09It's not very expensive, but it's not impossible.
00:17:13I think it's about how much money you have to spend on the pavilion.
00:17:18It's a terrible museum.
00:17:21And what was important for the life of Gennai was
00:17:25the existence of Yoritaka Matsudaira,
00:17:28who put a lot of effort into Honzōgaku.
00:17:30I think Yoritaka Matsudaira was at the forefront of the museum at that time.
00:17:38When Yoritaka passed away,
00:17:41he was following a very difficult economic decline.
00:17:48In that sense, he had to recover it no matter what.
00:17:53He learned Honzōgaku himself,
00:17:57and he was able to become the right-hand man.
00:18:04I think that's where Gennai Hiraga got into.
00:18:10The view of Tameike from the sky of Takamatsu-han
00:18:14is a reflection of the smart farmers who developed to the limit
00:18:19and the extremely far-sighted agriculture of Koshu.
00:18:24Tameike means that humans are able to control the water level in other fields.
00:18:32If you can manage the water level,
00:18:35you can have a product-type agriculture
00:18:39that can convert cultivated plants into money.
00:18:43It's not just about rice.
00:18:46It's about bringing in produce and enriching the country.
00:18:49It's not just about rice.
00:18:51It's about bringing in produce and enriching the country.
00:18:54In Tameike prefecture,
00:18:57sometimes people make fun of it,
00:19:00but from a historian's point of view,
00:19:03it's a symbol of a forward-looking prefecture.
00:19:06Mr. Nishigami, what do you think?
00:19:09Gennai was definitely a place of interest to Yoritaka.
00:19:13It was a small country at first,
00:19:16so it was divided into three parts.
00:19:18Ten years later,
00:19:21it was divided into four parts.
00:19:24There were 10 silver coins.
00:19:28In other words,
00:19:30there was a bonus as much as the original price.
00:19:33I think that's how well Yoritaka recognized Gennai.
00:19:41The response was pretty good.
00:19:43It's still low.
00:19:44It's like living in an era of 2 million yen a year.
00:19:49If you get a bonus, you get 4 million yen,
00:19:52so you can finally live like a normal person.
00:19:55So I think it's like,
00:19:58make it a little better.
00:20:01Sanuki-han is too small.
00:20:04Gennai, which tickles with the hometown,
00:20:07takes a certain action.
00:20:10After returning to Takamatsu-han for a year and a half,
00:20:17Gennai made up his mind and made three wishes.
00:20:21Gennai made up his mind.
00:20:37Gennai once again made a wish to Han.
00:20:45But Yoritaka ignored his answer.
00:20:51He didn't want to let go of Gennai,
00:20:54whom he had been looking forward to as an architect.
00:21:01He asked for seven months until he could apply for a job.
00:21:08On top of that, one condition was added.
00:21:14That is,
00:21:15if Gennai leaves Han,
00:21:18he will no longer be allowed to be an official in Takamatsu-han.
00:21:24In other words, he will no longer be an official.
00:21:31Even so, Gennai resigned himself
00:21:35and chose the path of becoming an old man again.
00:21:38Gennai returned to Edo at the age of 34.
00:21:44He challenged himself to open up his own fortune.
00:21:48He was going to hold a small-scale art exhibition
00:21:52at a nationwide scale.
00:21:56In order to realize this attempt,
00:21:59Gennai came up with two revolutionary ideas.
00:22:02The first was to remove the status of the participants.
00:22:06Until then, he had been a member of the Honzogakusha.
00:22:10He opened the door to all his admirers.
00:22:19This is the trump card that Gennai made
00:22:23in order to let the whole country know about his attempt.
00:22:27In other words,
00:22:28he called out to the people.
00:22:33Our Japan should be called a country of God.
00:22:37Participation is a custom,
00:22:40and resources are blessed even compared to foreign countries.
00:22:46Even so,
00:22:48Japan is not a country of God.
00:22:51It is a country of God.
00:22:54Even so,
00:22:56Japan does not use domestic resources.
00:22:59Instead, it uses imported goods from China.
00:23:05At that time, Japan depended on imported goods from foreign countries,
00:23:10including medicines and resources, including Korean carrots.
00:23:15Gennai called for the discovery of resources that could replace them
00:23:19for the country's sake.
00:23:21There are still many products buried in Japan.
00:23:25If we can discover them,
00:23:28there will be no need to wait for imported goods.
00:23:32I would like you to send us the collections of your compatriots from all over the country.
00:23:43Gennai was trying to find a way to collect goods from all over the country.
00:23:48He came up with a way to collect goods from all over the country.
00:23:53This is the second idea in Gennai,
00:23:56the installation of a nation-wide production facility.
00:24:02The facility is installed in 25 locations around the country.
00:24:06The suppliers just leave the goods at the nearby facility,
00:24:11and they are sent to the reception offices in Edo, Kyo, and Osaka.
00:24:18From there, the goods are delivered to Gennai in Edo.
00:24:26The revolutionary idea was that the reception office,
00:24:30Gennai, would bear the burden.
00:24:33This is the so-called delivery order.
00:24:39It took half a year to prepare the goods.
00:24:48Then, on April 10, 1912,
00:24:54Gennai Produce's exhibition was finally opened on the stage of Yushima.
00:25:03Various kinds of goods were lined up at the venue.
00:25:08The goods were sent from Edo to Torikabuto,
00:25:14Ryukyu's Jasmine,
00:25:19and also to Yamori, which came from Namban.
00:25:251,300 kinds of goods were returned at once.
00:25:29It was a one-day event, but it was a great success.
00:25:36Not only that.
00:25:39Gennai creates a picture of the exhibition to keep the results in shape.
00:25:44It is a physical quality of all six volumes.
00:25:48HANMOTO was the name of the future.
00:25:52It was a name reminiscent of Takamatsu Hanshu, Matsudaira, and Yoritaka.
00:25:59In this physical quality,
00:26:02Gennai produces products such as water, soil, and grain.
00:26:08Gennai is a place where people from all over the world come together.
00:26:13Gennai categorized the products into 13 categories,
00:26:19including water, soil, and grain.
00:26:23Gennai selected 360 products from 1,300 products.
00:26:32This is sugarcane.
00:26:35It is described in detail
00:26:39how it becomes sugar when processed.
00:26:47It was even designed to make use of sugar.
00:26:56On the other hand, there is something like this in the physical quality.
00:27:01Its name is Dariu.
00:27:04It is a creature brought in from Namban.
00:27:10This creature's ecology is unknown.
00:27:14This is what Gennai wrote in the description.
00:27:17When it approaches a ship and shows its shape,
00:27:21it dances in the water and eats people.
00:27:25Its shape is extremely large, but it approaches quietly.
00:27:30The people of Namban are not afraid of it.
00:27:36Gennai attracted readers with its curiosity.
00:27:41Gennai attracted readers with its curiosity.
00:27:50People who wanted to know about things
00:27:54that they couldn't see in real life
00:27:59were able to see it after the exhibition.
00:28:04I think this is a very important point.
00:28:08I think Gennai was very good at creating a wave of empathy.
00:28:17This physical quality is not limited to Edo.
00:28:21Gennai is one of the most influential Honzo scholars in Japan
00:28:26because of his hair style.
00:28:33Gennai succeeded in the exhibition.
00:28:36Mr. Koyama, what do you think of Gennai's producer ability?
00:28:42I think it's great.
00:28:45An excellent producer is good at creating
00:28:50the fingers that make people want to stop.
00:28:54I think this is an excellent producer.
00:28:58In order to make this exhibition a success,
00:29:02you have to collect a lot of things.
00:29:06You have to collect things that people want to send.
00:29:10You have to collect things that people want to send.
00:29:14You have to get the empathy of the publisher
00:29:18and send what you collect to the public.
00:29:22I think this is a wonderful process.
00:29:26I think he was good at getting people's empathy.
00:29:30I think the payment system was revolutionary.
00:29:33I thought this system was very advanced.
00:29:37If people are paying to be sent a book,
00:29:41it's a concern for people who don't know about the system.
00:29:46If they know about the system, they can send a book to each country.
00:29:50For example, people from Okayama know about the Vizen system.
00:29:54People from Sannoki know about the face system.
00:29:58I think he was good at thinking.
00:30:01I think it was probably a flyer that attracted everyone's attention.
00:30:10It was a very large flyer, about 50 cm in height and 33 cm in width.
00:30:17It was very large, wasn't it?
00:30:20So, just looking at it made me feel surprised.
00:30:25I'm sure there were a lot of people who wanted to get on it.
00:30:31But on the other hand, I think it cost a lot of money to prepare in advance.
00:30:37First of all, I was wondering why I only did it for one day.
00:30:42Why?
00:30:43I think it was difficult to save money.
00:30:47I borrowed a place like a court, so I think it was the cost of the venue.
00:30:56It's been a day since the first time.
00:31:00That's the only thing I've been looking at.
00:31:03It's a little strange.
00:31:05I see.
00:31:06And this flyer summarizes the results of the drug in a catalogue called a physical quality.
00:31:13Even today, when an event is held, a magazine or a catalogue is created.
00:31:20I think it's a way to do that.
00:31:26It's very well-written.
00:31:30And it's been published in such a short time.
00:31:35I think it's a way to welcome the results to the world as soon as possible.
00:31:41That's what I've been trying to do from the beginning.
00:31:48I was wondering why I only did it for one day.
00:31:53Maybe I wanted to make this.
00:31:57And as a way to make this, I organized an event called Hakuran-kai.
00:32:04I made this after I made the fact that I collected it here.
00:32:09It's very interesting.
00:32:11I think it's often sold as a DVD after a live performance.
00:32:16I think it's similar to that.
00:32:22In terms of quality and the accuracy of the drawing,
00:32:28as well as the reputation of the property,
00:32:32Chosen-Rinjin and Sato-Kibi are also a real example of cultivation.
00:32:39It was very rare at the time to have such a variety of books.
00:32:49I think it was a good idea to hold an event after thinking about the drawing from the beginning.
00:32:59And Gennai uses the name of the original book, which was published as a physical copy, as a future feeling.
00:33:06In one theory, this is a theory that Gennai put it on to put it out as a private copy.
00:33:13It is also said that it is a proof that Yoritaka Matsudaira was supporting the funds.
00:33:24It's a mystery, but we still have to investigate it.
00:33:28I think it's one of the best things about being a producer.
00:33:32By connecting with Yoritaka,
00:33:36I thought that I could get some money when I needed it.
00:33:40I thought it was a message that I was thinking about you even though I was far away.
00:33:52As a producer, Gennai successfully led the exhibition.
00:33:56However, there will be a big choice.
00:34:01The Hiraga Gennai Memorial Museum in Shido, Gennai's hometown.
00:34:07Here are the things that Gennai cherished.
00:34:12This is a list of the items that Gennai collected.
00:34:19As you can see, the drawings are very detailed.
00:34:24Each hair is drawn in detail.
00:34:28It's as if you were looking through a microscope.
00:34:34The manuscripts of the Netherlands and Germany that were imported through Nagasaki.
00:34:39Gennai purchased them one after another.
00:34:43One of them is a manuscript written by the famous botanist, Dodoneus.
00:34:52It contains 715 drawings.
00:34:56There are detailed instructions on how to make the medicine and how to use it.
00:35:03It was like a bible for Japanese botanists.
00:35:09Gennai had a big goal in the midst of all this.
00:35:14It was to make a Japanese museum that was similar to the Western museums.
00:35:24However, there was a big obstacle in his dream.
00:35:29He wanted to make a Japanese museum that was similar to the Western museums.
00:35:35He wanted to make a Japanese museum that was similar to the Western museums.
00:35:42It was a cost issue.
00:35:46He had to pay for the materials, but he also had to pay for the expenses.
00:35:54He didn't have enough money.
00:35:59In the beginning, the scholars of the Edo period
00:36:03belonged to the shogunate and the shogunate.
00:36:10Sugita Genpaku, who Gennai was close with in Edo,
00:36:14was also studying Rangaku while receiving the shogunate's permission.
00:36:22On the other hand, Gennai was an old man.
00:36:26However, he was not allowed to use the shogunate.
00:36:35However, Matsudaira Yoritaka, a member of the Takamatsu faction,
00:36:39added something to Gennai's autobiography.
00:36:46He said,
00:36:48He said,
00:36:52We will wait for you, Gennai.
00:36:55It was a message from Yoritaka to return to the Takamatsu faction at any time.
00:37:04Gennai is at a loss about how to live from now on.
00:37:07Let's share his feelings.
00:37:21Even if he were to become the owner of the house, he would have been able to live on his own on the road to Honzōgaku, but it seems like he didn't see it coming.
00:37:33He was able to make a name for himself in Edo, but he's always short of money.
00:37:39He can't even buy a house, so what's the point of being a Honzōgaku?
00:37:44That's right. If Yoritaka-sama had any understanding of Honzōgaku, he would have done all he could to help create a Japanese museum.
00:38:01We have no choice but to go back to our country, bow to Yoritaka-sama, and ask him to feed us again.
00:38:14However, if he were to become the owner of the house again, he wouldn't be able to pursue his own dreams.
00:38:31Wouldn't he end up returning to his busy daily life?
00:38:38Besides, it's a problem that Yoritaka-sama likes him too much.
00:38:47It's obvious that the envy and resentment of the people around him are getting worse than before.
00:38:55As I thought, I should stay in Edo.
00:39:00He must have left his hometown to live freely in the big world.
00:39:07I'm sure he'll find a way to make money using my knowledge and talent.
00:39:16This is the first manpokei in Japan that Gennai made.
00:39:21It is said that he used this to measure the distance he walked.
00:39:25He was able to measure the distance up to 40 kilometers.
00:39:32At that time, Gennai had the talent to invent things like this.
00:39:39Don't worry about me.
00:39:44I'm sure he'll figure out a way to make money.
00:39:48Will he be able to make a living in his hometown again?
00:39:56Or will he find a way to live as an old man in Edo?
00:40:01Gennai was at the crossroads of his life.
00:40:09Gennai Hiraga is facing a choice.
00:40:13Choice 1. Return to Takamatsu-han.
00:40:18Choice 2. Stay as an old man.
00:40:22If you were Gennai Hiraga, which one would you choose?
00:40:27Let's start with Mr. Koyama.
00:40:30Choice 1. Return to Takamatsu-han.
00:40:36Why?
00:40:37Well, first of all...
00:40:40If I were to be told that I should let go of what I'm going to quit,
00:40:45I would definitely choose to go back to Takamatsu-han.
00:40:49I think I would be able to negotiate with him,
00:40:54saying, I won't use this anymore, and I want you to let me do this.
00:40:58Then I would return to Takamatsu-han again,
00:41:01but I'm sure I would find another chance there and quit.
00:41:05Mr. Ishigami, which one would you choose?
00:41:08Choice 2. Return to Takamatsu-han.
00:41:13According to the records of Takamatsu-han,
00:41:17Yoritaka was a very ambitious person.
00:41:22I think he was angry.
00:41:25At first, it was hard for him to return to Takamatsu-han.
00:41:31Actually, there are two ways to get out of Okamai.
00:41:36One is that Yoritaka says,
00:41:39I'm going to quit Okamai.
00:41:42If you say that, you can get out of Okamai.
00:41:45The other is that when Yoritaka dies,
00:41:50there is a possibility that Okamai itself will lose its influence.
00:41:55I think he was trying to get information from Takamatsu-han
00:42:01without leaving Okamai.
00:42:07Mr. Imahashi, which one would you choose?
00:42:10Choice 1. Return to Takamatsu-han again.
00:42:15I want to remain a free man,
00:42:20but it's not because of my weight.
00:42:22I think it's better to rely on what you can rely on to survive.
00:42:32Yoritaka has been building up his talent
00:42:37since he was nobody.
00:42:42If that's the case,
00:42:44I think he will continue to understand and help
00:42:48Takamatsu-san's research.
00:42:53It's a little sweet, but I want to think about it.
00:42:59Now that you've made your choice,
00:43:01Mr. Isora, which one would you choose?
00:43:03I choose Choice 2.
00:43:05I want to remain a free man.
00:43:09That's the spirit.
00:43:11That's the spirit.
00:43:12Of all the people who were born blessed by their parents,
00:43:16there are some people who waste their talent on their own.
00:43:20Not all of them.
00:43:22There are people who make use of their talent for everyone's sake,
00:43:24but many people try to make their talent their own.
00:43:29I think it's better to run away.
00:43:33Because there is a possibility that you won't be able to come out to Edo.
00:43:37You won't be able to come out to Edo.
00:43:39If you were an old man,
00:43:41you would be more likely to be asked to come out to places like Kishu,
00:43:45where you have a lot of power,
00:43:47and places where you would be looked down upon.
00:43:50You were raised by those people,
00:43:52but if you think about Gennai's amazing talent,
00:43:55I think it's better not to go back to that scary lord.
00:44:01Which one did Gennai choose?
00:44:04Let's continue.
00:44:07The following year, the Hakuran-kai was held.
00:44:13A book about Edo was stolen.
00:44:18The author's name is Tenjiku Rounin.
00:44:22Actually, this is the pen name of Gennai Hiraga.
00:44:29Even though he was a great writer,
00:44:32Gennai made his debut as a writer as Rounin.
00:44:37The title is Nenashigusa.
00:44:40Based on real people and incidents,
00:44:43he wrote a story with no roots or teeth,
00:44:46and turned it into a comedy novel.
00:44:52The king of hell, Enma,
00:44:55fell in love with the second generation of popular female Kabuki actress,
00:44:59Sekawa Kikunojo.
00:45:01When he killed Kikunojo and brought her to hell,
00:45:05he was given the title of Kappa.
00:45:08However, even this Kappa fell in love with Kikunojo.
00:45:13The second generation of popular female Kabuki actress,
00:45:17Ogino Yaegiri, found out about this.
00:45:20In order to make Kappa and Kikunojo fall in love,
00:45:23she became a substitute, threw herself into the river,
00:45:26and sacrificed herself to Enma.
00:45:29This story is based on a true story.
00:45:32Ogino Yaegiri drowned in the river.
00:45:35This is the back side of the story.
00:45:38It is based on a fiction.
00:45:44The Kappa and Kikunojo,
00:45:47who were influenced by Enma's selfishness,
00:45:50reminded us of the politics of that time.
00:45:52This is the story of the Kappa and Kikunojo.
00:45:55This is the story of the Kappa and Kikunojo.
00:45:58This is the story of the Kappa and Kikunojo.
00:46:02They were very happy when they read this for the first time.
00:46:06This story became a bestseller.
00:46:12As they became more famous,
00:46:15they were given new jobs.
00:46:19For example, this is a copy of a toothbrush.
00:46:24I don't know if it works or not,
00:46:27but it's just for brushing your teeth.
00:46:30Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't hurt your teeth.
00:46:33Is it for sale?
00:46:36Gennai-bushi, which looks like a human tooth, became popular.
00:46:41Next, they produced a high-quality comb made of wood and silver.
00:46:49It became a hot topic by using the famous Oiran as an advertising tool.
00:46:57Gennai's most popular product is
00:47:01the well-known Erekiteru.
00:47:07Gennai, which acquired Erekiteru, a broken medical device, in Nagasaki,
00:47:12successfully restored it.
00:47:14Gennai used friction to store static electricity inside,
00:47:18released it, and made sparks fly.
00:47:28When Gennai showed Erekiteru,
00:47:31the audience was very excited.
00:47:37Later, Gennai looked back at his life
00:47:40as an old man in Edo.
00:47:43The kindness of an old man
00:47:46is like a grain of rice called Chiyo.
00:47:49It doesn't stick to your feet,
00:47:52and you can go wherever you want to go.
00:47:55You can make money
00:47:58just by freeing your body.
00:48:04However, at that time,
00:48:07there was neither money nor privileges.
00:48:09Even if you could make a lot of money
00:48:12with a novel or Erekiteru,
00:48:15it was difficult to collect a lot of money.
00:48:23Then, due to a business that aimed to make a comeback,
00:48:27Gennai decided to go down the path of downfall.
00:48:32Chichibushi, Nakatsugawa, Saitama Prefecture.
00:48:36Here, Gennai started mining in a mine.
00:48:44However, no matter how much he dug,
00:48:47he couldn't find a vein.
00:48:50In the end, he wasted eight years of his life,
00:48:53and only 200 million yen was left.
00:49:00The people who were popular in Gennai in Edo
00:49:02started to call him
00:49:05Mr. Yama,
00:49:08that is, Mr. Peten.
00:49:13Eventually, Gennai's spirit became unstable,
00:49:16and he made an irreparable mistake.
00:49:23He committed a murder and was imprisoned.
00:49:32I don't think he ever dreamed
00:49:35that he would be imprisoned
00:49:38after murdering people.
00:49:43But maybe it was his impatience.
00:49:46In many ways,
00:49:49he was impatient
00:49:52to make his dream come true.
00:49:58Gennai ended his life in prison.
00:50:00He was 52 years old.
00:50:06His friend Sugita Genpaku
00:50:09praised his talent
00:50:12that he couldn't measure with common sense,
00:50:15and wrote the following words in his grave.
00:50:18Ah, extraordinary person.
00:50:21He liked extraordinary things,
00:50:24and his actions were also extraordinary.
00:50:26Even his death was extraordinary.
00:50:33Gennai Hiraga,
00:50:36who had an outstanding talent
00:50:39but ran through a life
00:50:42that was too short.
00:50:49There is a souvenir that Gennai
00:50:52left in his hometown.
00:50:54This is a Saito Castle
00:50:57that was established around 220 years ago
00:51:00during the cultural revolution.
00:51:05A traditional castle building
00:51:08from the Edo period
00:51:11was used to build a famous house in Kagawa prefecture.
00:51:16This is a sweet called wasanbon.
00:51:19The birth of this wasanbon
00:51:21was actually
00:51:24based on Gennai's appearance.
00:51:30Gennai's research on sugarcane
00:51:33that he described in detail
00:51:36was used to
00:51:39industrialize sugar in Takamatsu.
00:51:44Gennai Hiraga
00:51:47did a lot of things
00:51:49related to sugar production.
00:51:52The general public
00:51:55may not know much about sugar production.
00:51:58However, people who make sugar
00:52:01know a lot about it,
00:52:04so I think that
00:52:07I helped a lot when making wasanbon.
00:52:10Ah, extraordinary person,
00:52:13Gennai Hiraga.
00:52:16He is still loved by the people
00:52:19of Takamatsu.
00:52:24Gennai chose to stay in Edo
00:52:27as an old man
00:52:30and expanded his activities.
00:52:33Mr. Kayama, you did a lot of things,
00:52:36but which one caught your attention?
00:52:39First of all, I was surprised
00:52:42that you made a comb.
00:52:45I don't know how you came to
00:52:47make a comb,
00:52:50but I thought you had the talent
00:52:53to change coincidence
00:52:56into your own project.
00:52:59I thought you were a person
00:53:02who cherished serendipity.
00:53:05I think people can tell
00:53:08what you want
00:53:11when you are drinking
00:53:14or interacting with people.
00:53:17I found your copy very interesting.
00:53:20It's like an advertisement.
00:53:23It's interesting to think
00:53:26that people in the world
00:53:29would never say such a thing.
00:53:32It smells a little bit like
00:53:35Amanojaku,
00:53:38but I think it's a copy
00:53:41with a seal.
00:53:44I think I would have come back
00:53:47if I hadn't made a comb.
00:53:50Gennai sold 3,000 copies
00:53:53of Nenashigusa.
00:53:56I think it was a big hit.
00:53:59I think it's because
00:54:02of the speed of his writing.
00:54:05For example,
00:54:08there is a novel called
00:54:11Furyushi Dokenden
00:54:14which was released at the same time
00:54:17as the novel Furyushi Dokenden.
00:54:20It's a story about a taxi

00:54:26gets on it, and leaves.
