Seibei had a hobby for collecting gourds. He got them for a few sen. When he came home, he world first bore a neat hole in the top of the gourd and extract the seeds. There he covered them with tea-leaves to get rid of the bad smell of gourd.

Seibei was passionately interested in gourds. He was twelve years old and still at primary school. After class he usually wondered about the town looking for gourds. In the evening, he would sit in the corner of living room working on his newly acquire fruit. When he had finished treating it, he poured in a little sake, inserted a cork stopper, wrapped it in a towel put this in a tin and finally placed the whole thing in the charcoal foot warmer. Then he went to bed.

Next morning first of all he examined the gourd and hanged them in the sun. He lived in a harbour town. He almost used to walk in the town. Then he came to every place that sold gourds and to recognise almost every gourd on the market. But his father did not like it. One day Seibei saw about five inches long gourd. He became curious. He wanted to know everything about that. So he went home and in no time returned at the stall with money. He bought the gourd and took it home. Seibei's father wanted to his son became a learner person. He always wanted him that he studied well. His father didn't like his son's work whatever Seibei was doing.
