Life with Shizuko and Shigeko

Yozo lives with Shizuko and her daughter Shigeko, who calls him 'Daddy.' He draws cartoons to earn money for drink, and his gloom intensifies. He is haunted by the memory of his lost 'ghost pictures' and feels a profound sense of loss. A moment of tenderness with Shigeko, who prays for her real father back, reveals the fragility of their makeshift family and Yozo's fear of being seen through.
