Catholics being less persecuted,
I came back to Seoul not long ago.

:49:15
Since I'm only a kisaeng, I drifted
from one house of joy to another.

:49:21
The Governor of Jeju island liked me
so I came with him to Seoul.

:49:27
He died soon after.
I opened this house thanks to him.

:49:39
I have no worries about money.
Stay here and do your painting.

:49:49
As I was sure you'd
come back to me one day,

:49:54
I made this quilted coat with love.
:50:02
At last it has found its lord.
:50:19
Do you recognize this?
:50:23
You painted it for me
when we first met.

:50:31
If I asked you for another one,
would you paint it for me?

:50:42
That jar over there. Where did you
find such a plain, simple piece?

:50:49
The modest hand that made it
was guided by a joyful heart.

:50:57
It looks almost unfinished,
yet it's so generous and warm.
