Présentation de l'éditeur
Thx scene is laid on boa a smaU ship, plying between the Japanese Ports of Nagato and Chikuzen; the time being the middle of the seventeenth century. A mong the passengers grouped on deck, enjoying the hot sun and balmy air, happens a loquacious Samurai, who starts lecturing his fellows upon the ethics of the great Confucius. At first every one listens, but as he drones on, they vote him an intolerable bore, and gradually slip away, until at last he is left with an audience of only one. But this solitary person, by his attentive attitude, more than atones for the rudeness of the others; not a word escapes him, not a gesture, until, finally the lecturer, flushed with his own exertions, comes forward, and condescendingly enquires the name of the one man capable of appreciating the discourse. Kaibara Ekken is the quiet answer.
