第一章男性之国(1/13)

根津县城前门金藏茶餐屋少东主金藏梅子，十八岁，开场聚赌，触犯禁例，乒系囹圄待判。
                                                                                                                                                                天保百年，减等流放八丈岛。
                                                                                                                                                                在服刑期间，盗舟脱逃，追捕同岛，数日后又遁去，匿入深山，遍觅无着，至今踪迹杳然…
                                                                                                                                                                这是八丈岛各流人村对流放犯的纪录。
                                                                                                                                                                由官方指定村民代替役使执笔，村民缺乏责任感，往往草率从事纪录上错误百出。
                                                                                                                                                                因此，关于流放犯金藏梅子的年龄状貌，以及两次逃亡后的结果，都未明确记载，甚至似是而非。
                                                                                                                                                                八丈岛的流放犯女性极少，又无完整的纪录簿，不克统计其实际数量，大约在全体流人中占百分之五弱。
                                                                                                                                                                故而凡有女犯流放前来，必然大受岛民与男性流人之欢迎，是可想像而知的。
                                                                                                                                                                天保十一年三月二十九日，双篷的官方巡逻艇又押送一名流放犯上岛，是女性而非男性，据说年十七岁，久已阳盛阴衮而形成男性之国的岛上居住者，莫不欣喜若狂。
                                                                                                                                                                当巡逻艇未近岸时，岛上的代官‘乡老’早经得讯，率村人前往迎取女犯，并点收自江户带来的各项物品。
