Ichiyo's "Child's Play"

Nobu secretly liked Midori but he couldn't show his affection because they were rivals. "He heard her walk away...as he looked at it he felt his heart break." (page 1831)

Culture is filled with prostitution, children are losing the freedom they once had.

Coming of age:
"From that day on Midori was a different person." (page 1836)
"The color of his robes would never be the same." (page 1836)
"You've become a real merchant, Shota." (page 1832)

Characters:
Midori- supposed to follow her sister's footsteps into prostitution
Shota
Nobu
Sangoro- rival of Chokichi
Chokichi- rival of Sangoro
