This is a collection of essays by a video director who became famous for Netflix’s The Naked Director. He writes about episodes related to money from his unique perspective of living in extreme poverty like the literati of the Meiji era. These perspective techniques have been established by Momiji Ozaki and others, along with the matching of the original text, and the lyricism of this outlaw filmmaker’s writing is no different from that of the great writers of the Meiji era.
His method of depicting poverty, backwardness, and the passion of the people filtered through it, transforming it into body heat and light, may not be directly related to the video works he was spinning, but we can see here the germ of the expression of the confidence and passion of the oppressed, as shown by Dan Oniroku in Flowers and Snakes.
