    I'm afraid I can't tell you the name of

    the village in which any of this took

    in what year of the benevolent reign of
  • 00:01:53
    which emperor any of this
  • 00:01:56
    occurred for all of this happened so
  • 00:01:59
    very long ago that there isn't a soul
  • 00:02:01
    alive who could possibly remember any of
  • 00:02:05
    it
  • 00:02:08
    nonetheless once upon a time in Japan
  • 00:02:12
    there lived a farmer and his
  • 00:02:16
    family they were a large family with
  • 00:02:18
    many mouths to
  • 00:02:20
    feed but as everyone was willing to do
  • 00:02:23
    whatever they could to help out they
  • 00:02:25
    lived a happy life together
  • 00:02:30
    one season however a terrible famine
  • 00:02:34
    came to the
  • 00:02:35
    Village all of the rice fields became
  • 00:02:38
    dry and
  • 00:02:41
    cracked the gardens became choked with
  • 00:02:44
    Nettles and
  • 00:02:46
    dock the carefully tended fruit trees
  • 00:02:50
    fell
  • 00:02:58
    Barren it was the Grim work of a hideous
  • 00:03:04
    demon that had infested the countryside
  • 00:03:07
    where it became his evil pleasure to
  • 00:03:11
    wkak havoc and
  • 00:03:15
    destroy
  • 00:03:22
    life still the farmer would go out every
  • 00:03:26
    morning to glean what little rice the
  • 00:03:29
    Goblin had scattered and
  • 00:03:31
    left or to dig for such roots and gather
  • 00:03:35
    what miserable weeds could be
  • 00:03:40
    eaten and although it was very hard work
  • 00:03:43
    the children would help their parents in
  • 00:03:45
    what small ways they
  • 00:03:48
    [Music]
  • 00:03:54
    could yet for all these efforts there
  • 00:03:56
    was never enough food to solve their
  • 00:04:00
    [Music]
  • 00:04:04
    hunger the youngest of them
  • 00:04:07
    all a little frail
  • 00:04:10
    boy did not seem fit for any such work
  • 00:04:14
    you see he was quite weak and
  • 00:04:17
    small and the people of the village said
  • 00:04:20
    that he could never grow very
  • 00:04:22
    big and though he was bright and
  • 00:04:26
    clever at the end of each day when his
  • 00:04:29
    brothers and sister sisters would bring
  • 00:04:30
    home some precious
  • 00:04:33
    food all he would have were empty hands
  • 00:04:36
    and an embarrassed
  • 00:04:40
    smile his parents knew that he could not
  • 00:04:42
    help the family and worried that this
  • 00:04:45
    extra burden was unfair to the others
  • 00:04:48
    who worked so very
  • 00:04:50
    hard in the end they decided to take him
  • 00:04:53
    to the Village
  • 00:04:57
    Temple there they humbly asked the
  • 00:04:59
    venerable priest if he would have their
  • 00:05:02
    son for his
  • 00:05:04
    acolyte the old man spoke to the boy and
  • 00:05:07
    put some hard questions to
  • 00:05:10
    him so clever were the child's answers
  • 00:05:13
    that the priest agreed to let him stay
  • 00:05:15
    there and promised to teach him all that
  • 00:05:18
    a priest should
  • 00:05:21
    know then as the boy stood with the
  • 00:05:24
    priest his parents bowed in thanks and
  • 00:05:26
    set off to go back to the farm
  • 00:05:30
    but his mother turned
  • 00:05:32
    back because she was his mother and
  • 00:05:35
    could not leave without hugging him and
  • 00:05:37
    stroking his hair once
  • 00:05:41
    more
  • 00:05:43
    then looking closely at her son she
  • 00:05:47
    spoke do not forget she said to him
  • 00:05:51
    avoid large places at
  • 00:05:54
    night keep too small
  • 00:05:59
    with that she
  • 00:06:02
    turned and with quick
  • 00:06:04
    steps caught up to her husband on the
  • 00:06:07
    road that led away from the temple and
  • 00:06:09
    back to their
  • 00:06:12
    Farm the boy did not understand what his
  • 00:06:15
    mother's words to him had
  • 00:06:17
    meant and although he thought and
  • 00:06:20
    thought about them as he undid his small
  • 00:06:22
    bundle he still could not decipher their
  • 00:06:26
    meaning
  • 00:06:30
    [Music]
  • 00:06:32
    the boy quickly learned what the old
  • 00:06:35
    priest patiently taught him and he was
  • 00:06:37
    very
  • 00:06:39
    obedient but he had an odd habit a fault
  • 00:06:45
    the priest
  • 00:06:47
    said you see he drew
  • 00:06:51
    [Music]
  • 00:06:53
    cats even where cats ought not to have
  • 00:06:56
    been drawn he drew them on the mark of
  • 00:07:00
    the priest's book he drew them on the
  • 00:07:02
    screens in the temple on the
  • 00:07:05
    [Music]
  • 00:07:08
    pillars more than once the priest told
  • 00:07:11
    him this was not right that the cats did
  • 00:07:15
    not belong in the temple and more than
  • 00:07:18
    once the boy sincerely apologized for
  • 00:07:21
    his efforts but soon again there they
  • 00:07:25
    would be more pictures of cats very
  • 00:07:28
    clever pictures to be be sure but
  • 00:07:31
    alas
  • 00:07:32
    quite
  • 00:07:34
    [Music]
  • 00:07:40
    inappropriate now ever since the demon
  • 00:07:43
    had
  • 00:07:44
    come life had been very
  • 00:07:47
    hard everyone in the region had suffered
  • 00:07:50
    as the farmer and his family had
  • 00:07:51
    suffered and neither the bravest among
  • 00:07:54
    them nor the strongest had been able to
  • 00:07:56
    deliver them from the famine
  • 00:08:00
    at last the priest made a pronouncement
  • 00:08:02
    to all the village he declared that in
  • 00:08:05
    order to rid them of the plague he
  • 00:08:08
    himself would take on the demon he would
  • 00:08:11
    copy out the mystical Sutra
  • 00:08:16
    1,000
  • 00:08:17
    times the ultimate spiritual
  • 00:08:21
    magic he carefully ground some ink in
  • 00:08:24
    his Stone and dipped his brush and began
  • 00:08:27
    to copy out the most sacred
  • 00:08:30
    text once 10 times 25 times he bent over
  • 00:08:36
    his work hour after hour when he had
  • 00:08:40
    written it nearly 200 times he sat down
  • 00:08:43
    his brush and sat back
  • 00:08:47
    exhausted rubbing his eyes he noticed
  • 00:08:51
    the boy his new accolite watching
  • 00:08:55
    him here now he said indicating the
  • 00:08:58
    scroll you are clever aren't you your
  • 00:09:01
    soul is nearly as Earnest as mine
  • 00:09:04
    perhaps you can copy for a
  • 00:09:13
    while the boy copied
  • 00:09:16
    well neatly and with a steady
  • 00:09:20
    hand he thought that perhaps by doing
  • 00:09:23
    this he could help his family and he
  • 00:09:26
    happily applied himself to the task
  • 00:09:30
    but it was a tedious task to be
  • 00:09:36
    sure that evening the priest returned
  • 00:09:39
    and seeing the completed work he
  • 00:09:46
    smiled on examining the manuscript more
  • 00:09:50
    closely
  • 00:09:51
    though the priest's smile turned to a
  • 00:09:56
    frown he held the paper out for for the
  • 00:09:59
    boy to
  • 00:10:01
    see there and there and there
  • 00:10:07
    cats in the margins between the
  • 00:10:11
    characters there were no cats in the
  • 00:10:15
    Lotus
  • 00:10:16
    Sutra the priest closed his eyes tightly
  • 00:10:20
    with anger and then tore up the
  • 00:10:25
    manuscript it simply won't
  • 00:10:29
    do he said you can stay here no longer
  • 00:10:33
    you must leave in the
  • 00:10:35
    morning with that the priest left
  • 00:10:39
    shaking his head and ringing his
  • 00:10:42
    [Music]
  • 00:10:46
    hands the young boy was left alone
  • 00:10:49
    Dishonored and
  • 00:10:53
    ashamed he collected his ink and brush
  • 00:10:56
    and few things and ordered them so as
  • 00:10:58
    not to Disturbed the priest in the
  • 00:11:00
    morning it was only then in this moment
  • 00:11:05
    of shame that his mother's words came
  • 00:11:09
    back to
  • 00:11:10
    him avoid large places at
  • 00:11:15
    night keep too
  • 00:11:21
    small so he looked in all the corners of
  • 00:11:24
    the temple under the steps and behind
  • 00:11:27
    the screens until at last he found a
  • 00:11:31
    small box with curious hinges and carved
  • 00:11:36
    handles he squeezed inside it and no
  • 00:11:39
    sooner than he had closed the top over
  • 00:11:42
    himself he fell fast
  • 00:11:45
    [Music]
  • 00:11:49
    asleep when he awoke he wished that he
  • 00:11:52
    could stay
  • 00:11:53
    there curled up in the Box
  • 00:11:58
    forever even even so he knew that he
  • 00:12:00
    must
  • 00:12:01
    leave he lifted open the top of his
  • 00:12:04
    cabinet crawled out Drew up his small
  • 00:12:09
    bundle and turned to face the gray
  • 00:12:18
    Dawn but as he looked around
  • 00:12:23
    him he
  • 00:12:25
    gasped the
  • 00:12:27
    temple it had been near near L
  • 00:12:30
    destroyed the screens were torn the
  • 00:12:34
    floors were splintered the idols had
  • 00:12:37
    been
  • 00:12:38
    shattered and there in the middle of the
  • 00:12:41
    floor sat the venerable priest his robes
  • 00:12:44
    were in shreds and his body was
  • 00:12:46
    disfigured with bruises and
  • 00:12:49
    cuts he scarcely
  • 00:12:52
    moved he lifted his head painfully and
  • 00:12:55
    looked at the boy with burning eyes
  • 00:13:00
    the
  • 00:13:01
    demon he whispered through cracked and
  • 00:13:04
    swollen
  • 00:13:06
    lips you must go away at once your
  • 00:13:12
    foolishness has brought evil to this
  • 00:13:18
    Temple then closing his eyes the priest
  • 00:13:23
    let his head drop back down consumed by
  • 00:13:26
    his own misfortune
  • 00:13:34
    the boy left the temple and burdened
  • 00:13:38
    with guilt for the great destruction his
  • 00:13:40
    behavior had caused he set off on the
  • 00:13:42
    road away from the
  • 00:13:45
    village he walked all morning until he
  • 00:13:48
    came into a small
  • 00:13:53
    Hamlet he saw only a few simple houses
  • 00:13:56
    but they were all quiet and closed and
  • 00:13:59
    empty
  • 00:14:01
    seeming
  • 00:14:03
    except the very
  • 00:14:06
    last the boy approached the threshold
  • 00:14:09
    and
  • 00:14:11
    looked a man a very
  • 00:14:14
    blacksmith crouched beside his Forge at
  • 00:14:18
    work on some
  • 00:14:22
    Foundry suddenly he sat upright and
  • 00:14:24
    turned around the demon has chased them
  • 00:14:27
    all away every one of them now I am left
  • 00:14:31
    here
  • 00:14:33
    alone but I will not be afraid as you
  • 00:14:36
    can see he held up an iron bar I am
  • 00:14:41
    forging a deadly
  • 00:14:43
    sword to kill the
  • 00:14:46
    goblin he swung it with a trenchant
  • 00:14:50
    stroke you have come here to help
  • 00:14:53
    me of
  • 00:14:56
    course though you do not see seem over
  • 00:15:00
    Burly he pinched the boy's thin
  • 00:15:03
    arm still you should be fit to work the
  • 00:15:07
    Bellows the boy with his curiosity and
  • 00:15:10
    eagerness to
  • 00:15:11
    serve was soon Adept at this labor which
  • 00:15:15
    did not take strength as much as
  • 00:15:16
    regularity and
  • 00:15:19
    persistence satisfied with his Young
  • 00:15:22
    Apprentice the Smith took off his apron
  • 00:15:25
    I must fetch water to quench the iron
  • 00:15:27
    and temper the blade
  • 00:15:29
    the well is some distance I will try not
  • 00:15:32
    to be long but you must keep the fire
  • 00:15:34
    going just be diligent and I shall
  • 00:15:37
    return
  • 00:15:43
    shortly the Bellows wheezed regularly
  • 00:15:47
    firing the
  • 00:15:49
    coals and as the boy stared at the
  • 00:15:52
    glowing Embers all manner of odd shapes
  • 00:15:56
    came to life before him
  • 00:16:00
    Birds
  • 00:16:02
    houses faces
  • 00:16:06
    and
  • 00:16:09
    cats
  • 00:16:11
    yes
  • 00:16:14
    [Music]
  • 00:16:16
    cats scattered untidily about him on the
  • 00:16:20
    ground were scraps of black charcoal
  • 00:16:23
    from the
  • 00:16:25
    forge he picked one up and tried it on
  • 00:16:28
    the the
  • 00:16:30
    wall
  • 00:16:32
    indeed it made a clear black
  • 00:16:37
    line which became a
  • 00:16:40
    long
  • 00:16:43
    tail which
  • 00:16:45
    became a
  • 00:16:48
    large
  • 00:16:51
    crouching cat
  • 00:16:53
    [Music]
  • 00:16:59
    by the time the Smith returned there
  • 00:17:02
    were dozens of
  • 00:17:07
    cats the boy heard his cough at the door
  • 00:17:10
    and was suddenly recalled to
  • 00:17:12
    himself they both turned to the
  • 00:17:18
    forge the Bellows lay
  • 00:17:21
    still the coals had
  • 00:17:26
    cooled and the metal was cold and
  • 00:17:30
    black putting down the bucket the Smith
  • 00:17:33
    looked
  • 00:17:35
    about and
  • 00:17:39
    laughed you will never be a Smith my boy
  • 00:17:44
    that is
  • 00:17:48
    certain the boy hung his head in
  • 00:17:51
    remorse the cats are fine cats mind you
  • 00:17:55
    but I'm afraid they won't do here
  • 00:17:59
    the Smith picked up a straw
  • 00:18:01
    brush as long as I have brought all this
  • 00:18:05
    water he handed the brush to the
  • 00:18:08
    boy I would be grateful if you scrubbed
  • 00:18:11
    them
  • 00:18:18
    away when the cats were
  • 00:18:20
    gone the Smith shared his
  • 00:18:23
    rice and told the boy he could spend the
  • 00:18:26
    night there in the shop if he liked
  • 00:18:30
    the Smith then retired to his own room
  • 00:18:33
    in the back and went to
  • 00:18:38
    sleep the boy again found himself
  • 00:18:42
    alone and as before he recalled his
  • 00:18:45
    mother's
  • 00:18:47
    words avoid large places keep too
  • 00:18:52
    [Music]
  • 00:18:54
    small discovering a large kettle he
  • 00:18:57
    squeezed in to it drew on the lid and
  • 00:19:01
    tired from the Day's Journey he quickly
  • 00:19:04
    fell to
  • 00:19:06
    [Music]
  • 00:19:08
    sleep late in the
  • 00:19:11
    night he woke with a
  • 00:19:17
    start his eyes were stinging and it was
  • 00:19:22
    hard to
  • 00:19:24
    breathe peering out from his hiding
  • 00:19:26
    place he saw that the blacksmith shot
  • 00:19:29
    was on
  • 00:19:30
    fire he quickly climbed out of his pot
  • 00:19:32
    and ran into the
  • 00:19:34
    street there he found the Smith his
  • 00:19:37
    clothes were charred and torn and
  • 00:19:38
    smoking his face was blackened his hair
  • 00:19:41
    was
  • 00:19:47
    singed at length the Smith
  • 00:19:50
    stuttered that demon
  • 00:19:54
    that devil that
  • 00:20:01
    Beast he then turned and walked off into
  • 00:20:04
    the Morning
  • 00:20:08
    Mist again the boy felt downcast
  • 00:20:12
    thinking that somehow this would not
  • 00:20:14
    have
  • 00:20:16
    happened had he only been more
  • 00:20:20
    diligent oh but now he could do nothing
  • 00:20:24
    [Music]
  • 00:20:30
    he started out again on the road away
  • 00:20:34
    from his
  • 00:20:36
    [Music]
  • 00:20:54
    home it was Dusk and he had seen neither
  • 00:20:58
    of a soul nor a human dwelling all
  • 00:21:03
    day then suddenly a village appeared in
  • 00:21:07
    front of
  • 00:21:08
    him perhaps he had fallen asleep as he
  • 00:21:13
    [Music]
  • 00:21:14
    walked there was no sign of any
  • 00:21:17
    inhabitant the houses and shops were
  • 00:21:20
    closed and
  • 00:21:23
    dark but then at the far end of the
  • 00:21:25
    street on a hill he saw a large building
  • 00:21:28
    perhaps a temple and faintly flickering
  • 00:21:31
    inside he saw a
  • 00:21:35
    light at once the boy went up to the
  • 00:21:38
    building and
  • 00:21:40
    knocked and knocked
  • 00:21:44
    again and yet once more but still nobody
  • 00:21:49
    came at last he pushed gently at the
  • 00:21:52
    door and was pleased to find that it had
  • 00:21:55
    not been fastened so he went in
  • 00:21:59
    and saw a lamp
  • 00:22:01
    burning but there was no one
  • 00:22:05
    there as he looked around he noticed
  • 00:22:08
    that everything was gray with dust and
  • 00:22:10
    thickly spun over with
  • 00:22:14
    cobwebs he wiped at the dust with his
  • 00:22:19
    fingers and then in the streaks his
  • 00:22:23
    fingers Left
  • 00:22:26
    Behind he saw them
  • 00:22:31
    the
  • 00:22:32
    whiskers of another
  • 00:22:35
    cat the boy squinted at this
  • 00:22:41
    drawing
  • 00:22:45
    smiled and Drew his painting box out
  • 00:22:48
    from his
  • 00:22:54
    bundle it was very late at night and the
  • 00:22:57
    boy was very very
  • 00:23:00
    tired but there were cats on all the
  • 00:23:05
    walls cats on the screens cats on the
  • 00:23:09
    pillars crouching and sleeping and
  • 00:23:12
    pouncing and cats just sitting and
  • 00:23:16
    watching every kind of cat and cats
  • 00:23:20
    doing everything a cat would do the boy
  • 00:23:24
    had drawn
  • 00:23:29
    he began to nod
  • 00:23:33
    asleep when
  • 00:23:36
    suddenly he remembered his mother's
  • 00:23:39
    words just as though she were whispering
  • 00:23:42
    in his
  • 00:23:44
    ear avoid large places at
  • 00:23:48
    night keep too
  • 00:23:50
    [Music]
  • 00:23:52
    small and although he could not quite
  • 00:23:56
    understand them
  • 00:23:59
    as he thought of these words now he felt
  • 00:24:02
    a little
  • 00:24:03
    [Music]
  • 00:24:05
    afraid the building was very
  • 00:24:09
    large and the boy was all
  • 00:24:15
    alone in one corner almost hidden with
  • 00:24:18
    dust there stood a rickety little
  • 00:24:21
    cabinet with a sliding
  • 00:24:24
    door he crept into it slid the door to
  • 00:24:28
    to shut his eyes and fell instantly
  • 00:24:36
    asleep
  • 00:24:38
    very very
  • 00:24:40
    late he was
  • 00:24:43
    awakened by a most terrible noise
  • 00:24:48
    fighting screaming crying and howling
  • 00:24:53
    here then there then
  • 00:24:55
    there then it was all around found him
  • 00:24:59
    very close by and then it was suddenly
  • 00:25:00
    very far
  • 00:25:03
    away scraping and scratching and
  • 00:25:09
    screaming and awful and then more awful
  • 00:25:12
    and then more awful yet so that the
  • 00:25:13
    building itself self
  • 00:25:16
    rocked the boy hoped that the end would
  • 00:25:18
    come quickly or he should die a very
  • 00:25:21
    fright he lay there in the cabinet
  • 00:25:24
    perfectly
  • 00:25:25
    still and
  • 00:25:28
    after a long
  • 00:25:31
    time silence
  • 00:25:36
    came but he was yet afraid to leave his
  • 00:25:39
    secret
  • 00:25:41
    shelter he did not move until the light
  • 00:25:45
    of the morning sun Shone through the
  • 00:25:47
    cracks in the cabinet and he could
  • 00:25:50
    faintly hear the sounds of the birds
  • 00:25:52
    heralding the
  • 00:25:57
    day no only then did he very
  • 00:26:02
    cautiously slide open the door of his
  • 00:26:06
    hiding place and
  • 00:26:12
    look the first thing that he
  • 00:26:15
    saw was the
  • 00:26:18
    floor red with
  • 00:26:22
    blood and
  • 00:26:25
    then lying
  • 00:26:29
    quite
  • 00:26:31
    dead in the middle of it he beheld
  • 00:26:36
    an
  • 00:26:39
    enormous
  • 00:26:40
    monstrous
  • 00:26:42
    rat
  • 00:26:44
    a demon rat a rat bigger even than a
  • 00:26:53
    cow
  • 00:26:55
    but who or what could have killed
  • 00:27:01
    it there was no man or other creature to
  • 00:27:04
    be
  • 00:27:08
    seen
  • 00:27:10
    then the boys saw the mouths and
  • 00:27:14
    Paws of all the cats that he had drawn
  • 00:27:19
    the night
  • 00:27:20
    [Music]
  • 00:27:23
    before they were
  • 00:27:26
    red they were
  • 00:27:29
    wet with
  • 00:27:34
    [Music]
  • 00:27:38
    blood he stood staring at his cats all
  • 00:27:41
    around
  • 00:27:43
    him for a very long
  • 00:27:51
    [Music]
  • 00:27:53
    time
  • 00:27:55
    then when the sun was high in the sky
  • 00:28:00
    he left the
  • 00:28:04
    temple and started down the
  • 00:28:07
    road toward his
  • 00:28:13
    village the boy continued to draw
  • 00:28:18
    cats and after a time he became a very
  • 00:28:21
    great
  • 00:28:22
    artist it is said that some of the cats
  • 00:28:26
    he drew
  • 00:28:28
    are still shown to Travelers in
