Story Four Hundred and Twenty-One · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

A Certain Man

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: In the main hall of a looted house by day in autumn, a grey-bearded older man in a long wide-sleeved gown steps back in alarm, holding a cloth purse upside down so coins spill onto the brick floor, while a slim young man with a headband, short jacket and wrapped leggings stands silently in the open doorway with a sword hanging point-down, with an empty open chest, a toppled stool and scattered scrolls in the foreground and a bare tree in the courtyard beyond.
