PICTURES

Unosuki starts telling the tale of the dragon of Sarusawa

Goi and Tajo plan a prank on Hanazo...

...and it sends Hanazo into the lake!

Hanazo points out Uji's mistake on the sign

Kesa and Masagi made their kimonos and obis

The villagers see the sign

The villagers clean and decorate for the dragon. Our award-winning set

Geishas come to visit

Sujiki gives Hanazo a massage

Takahiko would punish if the sign were a hoax

"NINJAS!!!"

The emperor sent Yokinaga to see the dragon

"The best inn in town is that way. I hope you enjoy the dragon tomorrow."

Shuishu is happy to see the dragon and her handsome son

"What is behind us by the lake?"

Sujiki performs a fan dance for Uji in the "teahouse"

"He spent the rest of that night in meditation"

"You are a CLOD!"

The villagers and visitors gather by the lake to see the dragon.

Hanazo insists the sign was his, but Takahiko does not believe

The villagers celebrate Uji's prophetic sign

Shuishu is not very proud of her son

The boys emerge with the dragon kite they took from Hanazo...

...and they run off.
