Whew... (HELL 6 or so)
... the translation is finished. The roughest version, I mean. Now I have some 10 or so days to polish it. It will be tough, especially because a) I have lots of other things to do, b) there are some puns which are very hard to translate and most of all, I have still some 10 pages in the middle which I left untranslated. It's a part of a kabuki play, so the translation will require much more effort as the language is not really modern. I got good marks from classical Japanese, but that was mostly about the language from Heian period, while this is Japanese from Edo period and I never liked that one much (though it's relatively easier that Heian Japanese).
Anyway, lots of work ahead.
