Despite an occasional scene with a point to make?for example, a homeless tent pitched in the shadow of Tokyo's glittering city hall?Kon's penchant for realistic settings and characters doesn't make him a social crusader. "I like drawing pictures and telling stories," he says. "I'm not trying to save Japan; I just want to show people how things look to me."

Thought I’d get a little history in—witch trials and everything,” he says as he watches a friend get her face painted a flattering shade of asphyxia-blue. The face painting racket is at a height of popularity, with several competing tents. One specializes in painting wounds on customers.
