「まるで風呂屋のペンキ画のようだ」「俗で間が抜けている」という悪口

The view of Mount Fuji from the second floor of Tenkachaya was immense, but Dazai, contrarian as ever, criticized the public's uniform adoration of it as 'beautiful' and 'sacred,' complaining that it was 'just like a public bathhouse paint-job' and 'vulgar and spacing out.' However, no matter how much sarcasm he spat, he could not avert his eyes from Mount Fuji, which towered with an overwhelming presence right before his eyes whenever he opened the room.
