Much of Narikin which existed in Japan 100 years ago
is called "war Narikin." They got millions of wealth by
the great war business by the World War I.
A famous anecdote exists in them.
A hostess, okami (女将),
in a Japanese-style restaurant said,
"It's dark, and I don't know the location of the shoes well."
A war Narikin (戦争成金) said,
"I see, did it become more bright with this ?"
He lighted a bill to make the dark place.
Indeed this is a comedy.
