I remember in the early days of Usenet there was the story of the perpetual motion caused by tying a slice of buttered toast to the back of a cat. Buttered toast always lands butter side down, cat always lands on it's feet.

A high-ranking minister, Toru (822β895) was the son of an emperor. In this scene, he enjoys the company of two other men in his landscape garden overlooking the water. Here Hokusai may have illustrated a poem by Toru that mentions boats floating on the water in bright moonlight, shaded by the pines.

For this print, Hokusai was inspired by a play dramatizing a popular ritual performed on setsubun, the eve of the first day of spring in the old lunar calendar. On this day, people in Japan scatter dried beans in their houses to drive out bad luck. In the play, a demon personifies an evil spirit who has come into a widow's house, even though she had created a protective talisman. The clever woman offers the demon sake (rice wine) and he soon becomes drunk. In the end, she successfully drives him away by throwing beans at him. For this print, Hokusai depicted the last scene, with the woman holding her box of beans and the demon on bended knee clutching at her. The triumphant smile on her face and the gesture by the masked actor who played the demon shows the happy ending of the play.

I don't understand how you can get 1 starter then 5 correct. I'm new to this and it takes a lot of thought to get everything lined up horizontally and vertically. And that's with 2 start words.
