浮世画家

战争结束后过了三年，著名画家小野益次步入老年，他所居住的小镇从战后的废墟逐渐恢复，他在镇上过着安稳的生活。他心爱的女儿和外孙到访，他和熟悉的酒馆老板娘闲谈，他邂逅战前的旧友。就在二女儿开始考虑一门婚事的时候，小野发现了周围人的目光有所转变。他本认为自己是抱着坚强的意志为了国家一直鞠躬尽瘁，为什么现在却非得遭受大家的责难呢？他也渐渐认识到害怕自己曾经的影子是因为自己的软弱…In the face of the misery in his homeland, the artist Masuji Ono was unwilling to devote his art solely to the celebration of physical beauty. Instead, he put his work in the service of the imperialist movement that led Japan into WW II.
