EDOMAE

Gogai

Sukeroku:

Sensei, we’ve got a situation.

Junki-sensei:

Oh?

I just got back from Akasaka.

And?

The Master was playing drums.

That sounds about right.

Well, someone asked him—

“What does this have to do with Edomae?”

And what did he say?

He said—

“I’m Edomae.”

Of course he did.

Excuse me?

It’s the headline of the newsletter, isn’t it?

That’s how it works?

That’s exactly how it works.

Edomae isn’t just fish.

It’s the market. It’s the craftsman. It’s the musician.

Most of all—

it’s the people.

I see.

Then put it in the newsletter.

Put what in?

The photograph.

That’s enough.

The market may close,

but the rhythm continues.


Edomae is,

somehow,

never quiet.
