Abigail Ozu Brothel ❤️❤️❤️

About Kyoto

But ugh, the creeps hasslin’ her? Pissed me off big time! Wanted to yell, “Back off, losers!” Little fact—did ya know some old-timey prostitutes were spies? Sneaky, huh? Imagine that—bangin’ dudes and stealin’ secrets. “Who’s tellin’ the truth here?”—like in the movie, ya never know. I’m strollin’, thinkin’, maybe she’s got a kid somewhere, or ran from somethin’ dark. Gets me all emo, man.

The courage to forgive

A young woman is forced to spend one night as a brothel worker in order to pay the medical expenses for their ailing son.

So, I leave the café, and I’m wandering around. I hit up the Ozu Castle ruins. It’s kinda cool, but also kinda sad. I mean, it used to be this big deal, and now it’s just… ruins. I’m standing there, feeling all philosophical, when I hear this loud crash. I turn, and some kid just knocked over a whole display of souvenirs. I can’t help but laugh. Like, classic Ozu moment, right?
