Great little book! Easy to read through and interesting commentary at the end. Perfect for a non-intellectual like myself.

Surprisingly deep
At 14 with a male courtesan, who may or may not be the same age.
At 15 at Ishiyama dera with a widow with whom he has a child but then abandons

Wow he is eleven now but visiting a licensed quarter and buying out the contract of a ronin's daughter?

Chapter four is the first going into male "love", which is kind of hard to grasp... It's the same Yonosuke who peeped on a woman pleasuring herself in a bath in the previous chapter. Whatever the point of this chapter was escaped me.
