Something Wicked from Japan Quotes

“Master sailor Tokuzō has set sail on New Year's Eve even though it is forbidden to do so, whereupon a violent storm breaks out, and the close-cropped head of a massive monster rises out of the waves like a mountain. Unafraid, Tokuzō calls out "Nothing is as scary as making one's living!" and the monster vanishes away.”
