<Notes from the artist>
The iron door and supports had bowl-shaped ornamentation on them. The girl from next door told me they were like my mother's breasts and that I should try to suckle from them. Half threateningly, half-jokingly, she told me she wouldn't take me home unless I tried. As I tried hard to suckle from them, a sentry who was nearby gave a big laugh.
Around May 1931 Drawn by Hidehiko Okazaki
