Ogata's arrangement for his days is to work hard during the day, rest well at night, and accumulate enough energy and energy for the next day.

So he originally planned to take a short rest after dinner and go to Ahmachi's room.

Anyway, there was time, so Ogata decided to follow the others to see Genichi's so-called new work after dinner.

After quickly finishing today's dinner, Genichi led Ogata and others to his room straight.

Yuanyi's room is located in the deepest part of the temple.

After entering Genichi's room, Okata's eyes subconsciously glanced around.

Genichi's room is smaller than Okata imagined, and is also much cleaner than Okata imagined.

Okata originally thought that a carefree and careless person like Genichi would have a mess of room.

But the room that I didn't expect was actually quite clean and tidy. Although it was not spotless, it was clean and refreshing.

"You sit first." Yuan Yicha pointed at the tatami in the middle of the room, "I'll make some tea."

As soon as Yuan Yi finished speaking, Mamiya immediately spoke:

"Sir Yuan Yi, let me go for tea or something."

"No, no, no." Yuan waved his hand, "I can still do such a small thing as making tea."

After a while between Genichi and Mamiya, Mamiya finally convinced Genichi - Genichi stayed in the room and accompanied Okabaya and others, and Mamiya went to make tea.

Okara casually sat cross-legged on the tatami in the center of the room. While waiting for Mamiya to come back to make tea, he looked at Genichi's room boredly.

While his eyes were sweeping aimlessly in the room, Okabaya suddenly found a large pile of unknown things piled up in a corner of the room.

This large pile of unknown things was as high as a hill, wrapped in a thick ball of cloth.

Because it was wrapped in thick cloth, Ogata could not see clearly what was under this thick cloth.

"Sir Yuanyi, what is this?" Okabaya asked Yuan like this while raising his hand to point at the large pile of unknown things wrapped in thick cloth placed in a corner of the room.

"Oh, that. That's my study textbook."

"Study textbooks?" Yu showed doubts.

A meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he slowly walked to the side of the pile of things, and then pulled apart the thick cloth covering it.

After being pulled off, Okata was finally able to see what this stack of things was - a lot of Ukiyo-e.

No, to be precise... it should be a lot of ukiyo-e pictures...

Looking at the stack of pictures of this era as high as a hill, Okabaya asked in surprise:

"Sir Yuanyi...how many Ukiyo-e paintings have you collected?"

"218 pictures. I spent a lot of money on buying these things." Yuanyi said a very accurate number, "Did I tell you just now? I have been obsessed with Ukiyo-e who paints men and women over the years."

"Because I also wanted to try to draw Ukiyo-e, which specifically describes men and women's affairs. So I bought a lot of this type of Ukiyo-e to copy and learn."

After saying that, Genichi picked up the dozen Ukiyo-e paintings placed on the top of this "hill", and handed them to Okata.

"These are new paintings I entrusted Asai to buy for me after arriving in Kyoto."

"Come on, Mr. Okayama, please lend me a look."

"The newly bought paintings this time were all from Haruno Ogawa."

"Harunoshi Ogawa is one of my favorite Ukiyo-e painters. He is extremely good at painting this Ukiyo-e painting that specializes in the story of men and women."

"I read these newly bought paintings overnight last night, and I was very excited and drew my new work."

"I spent a lot of effort to find this artist named Haruno Ogawa," Asai, who was standing beside him suddenly said.

"The original source 1 is this thing you entrust Asai to buy..." Okay looked at the large stack of small yellow pictures beside Yuan Yi with a speechless look.

When I arrived at the foot of the Huluwu Base yesterday afternoon, Lin's group of people were discussing how to allocate their bags, Mucun once asked whose luggage a certain bag was.

At that time, Asai quickly said that he admitted that the cloth bag belonged to him and that he bought something for Yuanyi.

While saying this, Asai gave Makimura a wink. After seeing the wink that Asai was, Makimura immediately showed a look of understanding and no longer asked more questions in the cloth bag.

Okara noticed the eye contact between Matsumura and Asai at that time.

Okata was still curious about what the look that Asai and Makimura meant.

And now it's a case to be solved...

Okabaya looked at the Makimura, Asai, and Shimada next to him:

"Do you all know this collection of Lord Yuan Yi?"

Makimura nodded:

"We all know that Yuan Yi likes to draw, and he has been fascinated by it over the years and has begun to learn to draw such pillow painting. Not only do we know these things, but she also knows them."

As soon as Makimura finished speaking, Asai, who was beside him, added:

"The lord has never cared about Lord Yuanyi's private affairs, so she let Lord Yuanyi buy and draw these pillows."

After listening to the explanations of Makimura and Asai, Okatsu silently picked up the dozen Ukiyo-e paintings he had just handed to him, and looked roughly.

This Ukiyo-e painting, which specializes in describing the affairs of men and women, has a special elegant name - pillow painting.

Pillow painting is the largest and most eye-catching subject in the art of Ukiyo-e.

In the modern Japanese art world in later generations, there is even a saying: if you don’t look at the pillow painting, you will have no way to talk about Ukiyo-e painting.

"...The painting skills are really good." After roughly turning over the dozen paintings in his hand, Okabaya said casually.

"These paintings are all from Haruno Ogawa." Genichi introduced, "Huno Ogawa is very good at painting women, he is the painter I like very much."

Even people like Okara who knows nothing about painting can see that these paintings are of high quality. The painter who paints these paintings must have excellent painting skills.

Although he has excellent painting skills and the characters he draws are full of flesh, Okata has no feeling after reading these paintings.

Originally from the modern earth, he really cannot appreciate the Ukiyo-e style of painting in the Edo era...

Although I knew that the painting in my hand was a stingy picture that was enough to make people feel bloody after reading it, no matter how I looked at it, Ogata really couldn't appreciate it.

After Okara finished reading the dozen or sour pictures that Genichi had just lent him, Mamiya just finished making tea and returned to the room with a tea tray with 6 cups of tea.

After everyone got a cup of tea, Yuan Yi took out a booklet from somewhere.

Looking at the booklet in Genyi's hand, Shimada asked in confusion:

"Sir Yuan Yi, is that booklet your new work?"

"Yes." Yuan Yi, who had a faint smug look on his face, nodded vigorously.

Jigen nodded, and everyone, including Okata, showed curiosity.

The booklet in Yuan Yi's hand has a complete cover. Unless you turn it open, you can't see the contents inside.

Okata thought that Genyi took out a painting, but unexpectedly, Genyi took out a booklet.

"Master Yuanyi." Matsumura glanced at the book in Yuanyi's hand, "It seems... you have drawn so many paintings, and you can bind them into a book."

"No, no, no." As soon as Makimura finished speaking, Yuan Yi shook his head, "Makimura, don't underestimate the book in my hand."

"The book in my hand may be a major innovation in the Ukiyo-e world."

"You should all know that - the Ukiyo-e is now a painting tells a story."

As soon as Yuan raised his hand, he pointed to the large stack of Ukiyo-e paintings piled up in a corner of the room.

"After watching the dozen new Ukiyo-e paintings I commissioned to buy last night, I suddenly had a whim!"

"Now the pillow paintings on the market use a painting to tell a story, so why don't I try to tell a story with more than a dozen paintings?"

After Yuan Yi finished speaking, Mamiya raised her eyebrows first and asked:

"In other words... Lord Yuan Yi, are you going to use comic strips to draw pillows?"

"That's right!" Yuan Yi nodded his head vigorously, and shook the book in his hand.

Okata couldn't help but cast a strange look at Genichi.

There is a saying that - Yuan Yi's plan to use comic strips to draw pillows is indeed a very good innovation.

In the words of modern earth, when other painters of this era were painting single pictures, Yuan Yi had already thought of drawing a book...

"Come on! Show you my new work!" Genichi handed the booklet in his hand to Okara, who was closest to him.

As soon as Okata took the book handed over by Genichi, Mamiya and others immediately surrounded him.

It can be seen that Mamiya and the others are also very interested in the innovation of Genichi's "painting pillows in comic strips".

Okata is also curious now.

I want to see what this book is like by Yuan Yi.

——Since Yuanyi said that he has been obsessed with pillow painting over the years, he has been studying and studying. After studying for so many years, the things he draws should be more or less accurate...

——What exactly is this book drawn by Lord Yuan Yi?

With such a nervous mood, Xu Fang opened the first page of the booklet...
