In this episode, the finale of I.S.Y.S.W.A.S.F.H.S.S. (I scream, you scream, we all scream for Hell Screen summer) we zoom in on the second half of Ryoshu's art, allowing our concepts to be fully incinerated in an endless tragic dance of blur filters and blue and pink light (H.P.) by B.O.T.H.O.S.R. (Blade of the House of Spiders Ryoshu) and adopt the following question: Which Ryoshu, in the end, is the most mommy? Which one is the coveted T.F.M.?

In this episode, the midpoint of our titular I.S.Y.S.W.A.S.F.H.S.S. (I scream, you scream, we all scream for Hell Screen summer) we zoom in on the expressionist of excrutiation, the modernist of mauling, the romantacist of reaping, the, uhm, art deco-ist of agony, so on and so forth, Ryoshu (or at least, look at the first half of her art, with the rest coming next episode) who, while she might not always look it, is truly a M.A.H. (mommy at heart) prompting us to ask a childish question: Take a 5 minute break? You mean the break that makes you old?

Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927), from the age of 22 to his death at 35, wrote over 150 short stories. He is today widely considered the "father of the Japanese short story," and many of his works focus on historical and mythological tales presented through a modern psychological lens. His stories enjoy popularity even now, over a century after they were written, as some of the greatest works of Japanese literature: stories like Rashōmon, The Spider's Thread, In A Bamboo Grove, and Hell Screen.

Soul Mates! is proud to present a reading of Hell Screen, one of Akutagawa's early masterpieces. Based on a tale from the Uji Shūi Monogatari, Hell Screen follows a painter tasked to create a painting of the Buddhist hells, who finds himself unable to paint the perfect image until he sees the flames for himself. Please enjoy this new audiobook experience, with original backing music by Aster Gousie.
