Uchouten Kazoku ep8: the blood of sages

So is this the great goodbye? Is the only mystery left to us Benten?

The final moments of the great Souichiro Shimogamo’s life are finally told in this episode. Though the pages in this finally chapter of his book don’t end quite the way we’ve been lead to expect.

Uchouten Kazoku ep7: blood is thicker than tears; Ebisugawas are dumber than rocks

At the beginning of the episode, we hear Yasaburou speak of what he calls a troublesome bond between family in tanuki society.  And family and tanuki society are what this episode is all about.  Well, it’s about that and taking regular baths.

Another troublesome day in old Kyoto as Yashirou, Yasaburou’s younger brother, petitions him to help get Professor Akadama to go take a bath.
