ALT A scene showing a young Uyanga in the Rakuza District. Night has fallen and the district is lively as ever. Uyanga stands at an oicho-kabu table set on the street, surrounded by various other gamblers. She has never played the game before. She has a wounded, panicked look on her face as she points accusingly at a man whose eyes are obscured by the brim of his hat. Surely, he must have cheated when the deck was shuffled. The man shrugs, denying everything, while smiling at her. Behind him, another man falls to the ground and clutches his head in frustration. A tall woman peers over Uyanga's shoulder and sneers at her. She gestures at the man as if to tell Uyanga to back off. Her hand is gripping Uyanga's shoulder. On the right of the image an oiran laughs wildly at the state of the game. Not only has Uyanga lost, she's lost with the worst hand of all, 8-9-3.
