[Personal] HALF-TIME report

my longterm followers know that I’m doing a fandom related Q&A for 24days every year in December (in order to look back on what happened during the whole year) but I thought it would be nice to do a ‘half-time’ report to check out how things changed after 6 months^^

Fuse Teppō Musume no Torimonochō, hunter -girl-

Fuse memoirs of the hunter girl

This is a movie with a lot of backstory. This is a Japanese animated film based on Kazuki Sakuraba's Fusé Gansaku: Satomi Hakkenden. Both of these being an adaption of the classic novel of Kyokutei Bakin, Nansō Satomi Hakkenden. An epic of novels including one story revolving around a female hunter. This is a unique oddity particularly from 1814 Japan. Even in the modern adaption there is still an emphasis and noveltly of our character being a hunter and female. In order to even travel around certain parts of Edo (Tokyo) our hunter must dress as a man. Her own brother compliments Hamaji with “You’ve grown to be a skilled hunter despite being a woman”. There is of course no given explanation as to why a woman would be worse or unskilled as a hunter. Not to imply women are shown in a negative light throughout the movie. There are beautiful strong women throughout. Hamaji’s sister in law becomes the bread winner with her restaurant. Hamajis turning point as a character is actually killing a fellow woman who she previously saw as an inhuman hunt. The Courtesans humanity and love of her son provides a breakthrough for our main character. So learns to be unafraid of being a woman, and finds true connection with her final hunt, Shino.

After the passing of her grandfather, hamaji is invited by her big brother, Dousetsu, to come live with him in Edo. After she has the priest her read her his letter, as she is illiterate, she decides to head down right away as the loneliness of the mountains is getting to her. After arriving she find the heads of several half human half wolf ‘fuse’ in the town square. Even one of a young pup. The men around her taunt her as she is disturbed by the killing of a young wolf as Hamaji’s grandfather taught her that a hunt is a connection between hunter and prey. No one believes she is a hunter and bothered by the savage implications of the killing; the men around her instead imply that she’s a scared little girl. These aggressive older men ignore her ‘womanly’ anguish and continue to insult her very valid concerns. Society has in a sense decided the justness of murdering the young and innocent, and her rejection of this is seen as weird. She is soon won over to their side by the influence of her well meaning but generally not big thinker of a brother. He thinks the Fuse are evil. Which really makes sense due to their appetite of human souls.

This made the main love story was very interesting to me. Hamaji never seems very bothered by Shino’s killing, nor his blinding of a man in one eye. But perhaps they could be cute together as a bit of a clueless couple, after all Shino is the genius watching a girl run around with a giant gun and never made the connection that she was a hunter. On their first meeting Shino teases her and makes her admit she is a girl. He says it makes sense she’s a girl because her cheeks are always blushed. But the truth of the matter is her cheeks are stuck like that due to frostbite. Flush cheeks and pale skin is in fashion in this era of Japan. I guess this is portrayed as a thing she is lucky to have as it makes her cuter, and physically more similar to the child character. Speaking of children after the revelation of Shino being the final Fuse Hamaji still liking his is a bit confusing. Despite the recent efforts of their group of 8 to stop eating souls that is their source of food. Its very odd. Is there a way for the Fuse to live on morally while also sustaining seemingly purely on human souls? Hamaji is set up by the narrative to just accept this. In a beauty and the beast type narrative the young usually more naïve women are expected to accept the beast like man. Overall it’s sad that this strong woman falls for the first man to pay her any attention, especially when that men eats SOULS! Overall the love story seemed to trump this question and brush over the couples completely conflicting outlooks.

By the end of the film Hamaji has decided never to hunt or kill again, while Shino has disappeared and sends her letters. Hamaji does get the help of her wealthy friend Meido and begins to learn to read and write. This is portrayed as a good and freeing thing for Hamaji. But not very likely for a country bumpkin of the era. There is a beautiful idea of the continuation of works through the generation. Meido is a budding author who wants to continue the work of her elderly and going blind grandfather. There is an acknowledgement that Meido would not be able to create this legacy on her own, as a woman. But she will be able to express her writing thanks to her grandfather’s legacy. So in a subtle way there is an acknowledgement of artistic ability in women but the idea of having to respect or take a woman seriously is holding them back from starting their own legacies. Thankfully as time has moved on women have been more acknowledged in their role in the arts, Miss Hokusai is another great example of this.

Despite all of this I do not believe Shino is a bad guy. After all he is marked with that of a Peony birthmark on his neck. Peonies in Japanese culture stand for good fortune, bravery, and honor. It is often used in tattoos to as a signal of masculine bravery. Another part of this culture in Edo is courtesans. Think a high-class prostitute, but even that is a bit of an oversimplification. Another Fuse is the current top Courtesan, but having a child is a death sentence in that industry. So he takes on the raising of this child. Sadly this boy is the young pup seen at the beginning of the film. His peony mark represents his positive strong masculine traits. He is in great contrast to the Shogun, ruler, who want him dead. The shogun worship obsessively at the sword granted to his family. He is numb to the will of the people and wishes only to kill the Fuse to maintain his power. His soul is so wrapped up in masculine bullshit and toxic that even a starving Shino won’t eat his rotting soul.

This movie comes out with a strong antigovernment and capitalism message. The Samurai are shown as weak and class obsessed. The only thing to save the town is the collective work of the people men and women alike. The idea of being a samurai in power is praised but the money and politics associated poison the spirit of these men. Hamaji, a woman, is the only person smart enough to stop this and ask for her payment for killing the Fuse in installments. She is a humble soul able to bring those surrounding her together in order to form a more powerful people.

All I can say is watch this movie. Despite how negative some of the things I wrote may have seemed it is a beautiful movie. The film shows a beautiful balance of men and women working to help their community, and species, live a peaceful life.
