The Shibamata villagers are suffering from a terrible famine
Is there no god or Buddha?
Merciful Buddha!
This road's dark
Shibamata villagers are all dead? No lights
Of course not!
You cornered all the oil in Japan!
Thepoorcan'tlightlamps!
Rice has gone up too
So has paper
It's because he bought up everything!
Master!
Torajiro's sister!
The traitor's?
She looks like a traitor's sister
She has a hateful face
What's bad about my brother?
He did good for everyone's sake!
Don't talk big!
He'll be hanged if he's caught!
I hope you die!
Wait!
Who're you?
Forget my face, by any chance?
Torajiro Kuruma!
Cruel to my family, weren't you?
I'll mete out devine punishment for our villagers!
Vanish in the Edogawa River, villains!
Sakura!
Brother!
Poor girl. You had a hard time
Torajiro!
Folks!
Shibamata villagers, you're safe now! Your friend has risen!
Hearthat! Voicesofourfriends!
Look! Day is breaking in the eastern sky!
Peace has come to Shibamata village!
Where is this?
Sakai
Sakai? That's bad!
Your bag?
Mister! wait!
Mister, my bag!
Say, wait a minute!
Stop! Stop! Wait a minute!

I am Kuruma Torajirou
PeoplecalledmeTora
My journey begins now
I'm back
You're back?
Thanks. Storescrowded?
I'm exhausted
A cool drink
Uncle
You're '"M'" size?
Yes, but '"L'" shorts
I didn't buy any
Heavy? You bought a lot
Cosmetics bag
Toothpastetoo
Your bag. It cost a lot
Mitsuo's shoes. Try them on
What's this?
Buy my hair dye?
High. 800 yen
A lot of sweets - they were cheap
My purse's empty
Only 2 pairs of socks. Are they enough?
Yes, staying only 3 nights
I've never been farther south than Hakone
Niceshoes! Let'sputthemon
I bought you a sweater. Lookook
You seem depressed
What's the matter? Don't you feel well?
I got a temple oracle for safe trips
It's this
It's '"Kyo'". That means bad luck
Thetrip?
It says not to go
I feel it's an unlucky omen
Sakura, I brought you a Kyushu guide
Thanks
What's wrong? You seem unhappy
The temple oracle Uncle got is '"Kyo'". We're disappointed
Nonsense! Who believe them now?
Taishakuten Temple oracles come true
Yes, especially bad luck rarely good luck
That reminds me, about time Brother came back
I see. Tora?
What if he returns when we're away?
People you wait for never come
Good. Good
If he comes by any chance take care of him
Not me! It's no joke!
Why?
I'll humor him an hour or two but not for days!
But you said you'd look after the shop for us
The shop, yes, but not him!
Mind your words!
Friends a long time!
He's not a kid but a fine adult!
Joking? I'd rather take care of a kid any day
What's that?
Not mad? Abusing your brother!
Even old friends shouldn't say such things!
Don't blow up!
We won't ask you! Get out, Octopus!
Octopus?
Aren't you?
No! When Tora returns, I'll tell him!
That my name's Umetaro!
It's too good for you! what else?
Talking behind my back!
The nerve to come here!
Get out, octopus! I said get out!
Fool, like a boiled octopus!
He's stupid but not bad at heart so excuse him, Uncle
What was the fuss about?
Nothing much
I see. Uncle yaks too much too
You're all dressed up
Going somewhere but can't because I'm back?
No, I'm back from shopping
I see
Trains tiresome
I don't wonder
I'll sleep a few hours
All right
Upstairs...
You haven't rented my room?
I see. I'll only stay 3 or 4 days
East, west, home's best
Thanks, men! You must be tired!
I'm taking a trip four day from tomorrow!
A pleasant trip!
Take care
Bring us presents
A send-off gift?
A lonely sort of gift
What's up? Tell him?
How'll we break the news to him? It's hard
Any good idea?
Postpone it a few days?
We can't do that
Tickets bought, inns reserved
Anyway, Sakura, it's your work to tell him
I don't want to
A nice bath!
Hiroshi, working hard?
Aunt, you shouldn't
What? Why?
I said not to prepare a treat
Plain food from tomorrow
My favorite home cooking eh, Sakura?
It's been some time Have a drink
Sakura, a word?
Want to talk to me?
It's a favor we ask
Money? None. Bought a present
It's not money
What is it?
The truth is, we're...
You and Hiroshi are incompatible?
No, we've talked it over paper's high now and work's slack
You're going to quit work?
That's bad. I'd feel sorry for Octopus
If he heard about it, he'd cry
I couldn't watch him
It's not that
Thanks, for saying that
I'm grateful to you
Nonsense. We're all here. Let's have a drink
Hiroshi, I'm thinking about your pay
Good priest
Good evening
I'm glad to see you You're well?
Tora, you're back?
How lucky You can watch the shop then
Well, yes...
I heard you're taking a trip Not much - buy lunches with it
Why, thank you
A charm for a safe journey
Have a pleasant trip
Tora, take good care of the shop won't you?
Excuseme
Now, you know, Tora
Where to?
Kyushu
We've never been there
Return?
Very soon - just a four-day trip
Express train?
Not by train
Not by train? Are you going to walk all the way to Kyushu?
By plane
We've never been on a plane so this time...
Let's watcht the shop together!
I understand now...
That you're very kind people
I thought it funny when I returned
I see. The day before you start on a happy trip, I turn up
'"Are you well, Tora?'" Putting on smiles
You really thought a bad guy came at a bad time?
You're wrong!
Then why didn't you tell me the truth?
'"What a shame, Tora. You came home but we're going on a trip tomorrow'"
Why didn't you say so?
Then I'd say, '"Fine. Have a nice trip'"
And offer you 5000 yen as a send-off gift!
But doing things secretly! Am I such a bother to you?
Sure, I'm like the plague!
Going to Kyushu? Isn't that fine?
By plane? That's fine too!
Fine as a cat, fur full of ashes...
Please listen
This house seems like my own - I was pampered here
Uncle and Aunt treated me just like a daughter
We were orphaned young but due to them, I was never lonely!
I think you feel the same!
This trip's to thank them
Hiroshi agreed, so we can go
You and I should really take them! Don't you think so?
That's enough
He feels the same. Don't you?
Brother...
A touching scene. A real daughter wouldn't do it
Father, take a bath!
All right!
Best of luck. I'll take care of things
Please do!
Howishe?
He'll watch the shop
FACTORYCLOSED EMPLOYESS'HOLIDAY
'"We're leaving. Look after the shop Phoning tonight'"
I had a nice, long sleep
Auntie, I'm starving! Food!
Auntie!
That's right, they've left
What is it?
The day to pay the insurance
I left the money with Brother
Don't worry
Amazing. An automobile running on the sea
THEREARE700MONKEYS
Camera! Camera!
He eats alot
I wonder if Tora's eating lunch
Eat or not he won't die
The Boss watches to see if they all eat and don't fight
Like human beings, it's hard to live happily in peace
Some can't get along with others
Look up at the one with the wild eyes on that rock
The others avoid him, so he's violent
Better not go near him
He scratched and wounded a child
Better not go near him. He's warped
Airplane, hotsprings, good food...
I couldn't ask for more
No need to cook
It's Paradise
Thanks, Sakura
A nice bath
Won't Uncle catch cold?
Never mind. Always grumbling he's tired
Wasn't there a monkey like him?
Yes, yes, while the others ate only one had his eyes closed
The Boss?
It was so funny. That lone monkey looked exactly like Tora
Oh, yes, I must phone him. After 8?
Way past 8
Hello, Tokyo, please
657-4205, please
What's he doing now?
Drinking with my Boss?
That's about it
Oh, no!
I forgot to hide my Johnny Walker!
It's gone by now
Hello
What's the idea? I've been waiting since sunset near the phone!
I'm sorry. Nothing wrong?
I'll say! A thief got in and took all the money!
Octopus' factory and nearby houses burned down!
An earthquake ruined Tokyo!
Stop your funny jokes
Hello. We're all well and continuing our happy trip
I see. That's first rate
Nothing happy here Drowning my woes in sake
Let me speak to Uncle
He says you
Hi, Uncle, are you still alive?
I drank all your Johnny Walker
All? Two thirds of it was left!
Octopus drank half of it!
That fellow! Is he there?
He left red in the face!
Now, change to Auntie
Hello, it's me
Having a happy time, Aunt?
Thanks. I feel I'm in Paradise
I see. That's fine
I owe it to Sakura, Hiroshi and you Thanks
Call Hiroshi
Hello, it's me!
Hiroshi, are you well?
Thanks for making an old couple who'll soon die, happy
Not at all
A long call, so...
Wait! Long call? I just started talking!
You all speak to me!
One's left. Call Mitsuo
For a second
Hello, Uncle
Mitsuo? You're well?
Well
I'll bring you a present. By-by
The fresh brat
Can you see it?
That's Mt.Aso. See the smoke?
What's the matter? Not feeling well?
I dreamed Tora wasn't careful and our house burned down
Dont't fret so
I'm sorry
Listen, that's Mt. Asama. Pretty?
Mt. Aso
Ah so?
I got one!
I fished up one!
It's nice. All Japan was like this once?
Yes
I feel I'll live longer
Yes, yes, it is
Uncle? He's away
She's away too!
How do I know when they'll return!
Don't become irritated They're on a trip
Busy eating and bathing. They forgot
I'm their kin, you're not so you're calm!
What happened? They got hurt?
The Aso spas are in a valley full of cliffs
If they're in a taxi and it falls... an accident...they'd all die!
Not sure yet
What proof have you?
Yes, it is
Sakura, why're you phoning now?
I almost died of worry!
If you all died, I'd have to hold a funeral for you! Fool!
You don't know how a person who waits worries!
Don't act like a clam and answer me! Do you hear me?
Yes. We're well so don't worry
Don't worry? Not ashamed of yourself?
Phone earlier then!
I know. Our fault
I am sorry
I'm hanging up
Wait! I haven't said anything yet!
You know we're safe
We're in Kyushu. Phoning costs a lot We paid 2800 yen last night
I see
Are you such a stingy man? I'm lucky to have such an uncle
What's that?
You're famous for it! Didn't you know?
Tora, choose your words!
Very funny! Stingy gets mad too!
I'd punch you if I were there!
Interesting! Punch me from Aso!
Get out!
What's that? That ends everything!
Sure!
All right, I'll leave! Don't regret it!
Dont't stop me,Sakura!
It's too pathetic to watch
Lord Kiyomasa, Hideyoshi Toyotomi's 2nd cousin, was also from Nagoya
Mention of his name brings memories of his killing a tiger
Tiger?
Killed it?
Since we came this far why not go to the Unzen hotsprings?
You'll feel better still
But...
We've reserved an inn A nice place
Maybe so
But we're very happy to have come this far
Aren't we?
Yes
We'll put up tonight and phone
And he's bound to needle us again
The thought makes me sick
Why don't you three go? We'll...
We can't do that
What'll we do?
Not back yet
Not yet? What're they doing? Late
See about the bath
It's done! Rice's ready!
I see. Thanks
Get the pickles ready then
After a trip, something simple's what they want
Cut a lot of pickles
Inn food's dreary
Home made pickle's good after a trip
Boil some water, Gen
The rooms are clean
Untidy rooms are an eyesore after a trip
Pretty soon, Uncle, Aunt, Sakura and all wil come in with gifts
They'll come in saying they're tired and home's best
Words of welcome are important
'"Welcome home. Tired? Come on in, come on in'"
Serve them tea and sweets
'"After you rest, take a bath and you'll feel refreshed'"
In the meantime, lunch is waiting
Hot rice, salmon and pickles
'"Was the trip pleasant?'"
Even if it's boring talk listen with interet
Treat people home from trips gently
They're coming!
Boilwater! Tend the bath!
We're home!
Welcome home!
Thanks for everything
Nicetrip?
Yes, thanks
Home's best, isn't it?
Say, where's Tora?
He's there
Brother
What's this?
We're back
Even the bath?
Take a bath
At Edatachi spa
Uncle jumped out of the bath
Mixed bathing, he said
He'd been in the women's bath
Was he lucky!
Fool. A group of hags
No wonder you were pale
Driedoctopus
Thanks
Thanks for helping today
I see. Uncle had himself a time? Went to peek again?
Happy ending
Your watching the shop didn't go to waste then
I appreciate them now
I've decided not to bother the old couple's short future
Great. A worthy decision
Your uncle must be happy
Good. Very good
How long will it last?
Don't worry. Tora's grown older
Yes, he must think more
Another day is ending
Laborers! Thank you for your labor today
His reputation's good Uncle and Aunt are happy
It's fine but yet...
Doesn't seem like Tora if he doesn't fight or fall in love?
Don't worry
He'll start something
Trying to comfort me?
Listen...
Aunt!
A man's been following me!
A pervert!
Tora!
A bad man attacked Sakura! Come!
No, he didn't!
Where?
Is it you?
No, you're wrong! It's me!
Me who? Lots of me in Japan!
Don't you know me, Torajiro?
Torajiro?
You're protruding navel?
Yes. Hard to breathe!
I wish I could praise you
But you chase women now?
No, you're wrong
She looked like your sister
I tried to speak to her but she ran so I followed her
Is that it?
Don't remember him? Grade school friend
Still around? Your real name?
Fumihiko Yanagi
Oh, yes, Doctor Yanagi's son! My, my...
How do you do
I'm sorry
My memory was right
Sure. You had a crush on her
You're right
In kindergarten - you don't remember him?
Don't you? A rich man's son, wearing white sweaters, smelling of soap
But a crybaby, always crying
You bullied me
I'm sorry
Please come in
Please
The same house
Rickety. An earthquake would level it
Talk in my room?
You have one?
Upstairs
Bring us tea
No, beer and food
What do you do?
In honest work. You?
Me too
Honest pervert?
So they say
A pervert's eyes
What is Dr. Yanagi's son doing now?
Writing TV dramas
He's great?
How can he be with that voice?
He says his dramas are all about unfaithful women
Was he rich?
Yes, his father, Dr. Yanagi was a talented man
He painted, played the violin - a great man
He wasn't greedy. He treated post-war patients almost free
So the hospital folded up
His daughter stays in his house
Too great a father may not be a blessing
Thank you
I'm going to his place
No, my sister's home
Got one?
Pencil skinny
Like you?
No
Pretty then?
Lay off
Married?
A spinster
Both left overs?
Women don't even have sake bottles
Nevermind
Drink up
She eats by drawing?
Yes
They sell?
Not many?
Let's drink to our reunion
I just can't recall your sister
Sickly, she was always in bed
So she's still skinny
I see. Her extra flesh transferred to you
I like that!
That reminds me Our skinny music teacher
Yes, yes
She was beautiful
She smelled nice when she passed by
Unlike girls today, almost no makeup but big eyes, long eyelashes...
Beautiful hands - when she played she seemed sad
I was in seventh heaven then
Yes, skinny bones
Remember when she scolded you?
What about?
The nick on the pillar...
Grasshopper...
May 5th and the grasshopper...
She is eating, the grasshopper...
She measured me, the grasshopper
Did she get mad
I didn't know what to do
She made me stand up
She didn't say to go home
It began to grow dark I felt lonely
I'd about decided to go home...
Skinny came in just then
Guess what happened?
Say to leave?
No. She said nothing and sat down in front of the piano
She played softly and sang sweetly
What song?
The nick on thepillar,grasshopper
May 5th and the grasshopper...
I looked at her face and laughed
But she sang on sadly
I made me sad too
I wanted to say I wouldn't sing it again and to quit
But I couldn't say it
Finally, I began to bawl out loud
Such a thing happened?
She was so nice Why did I do it?
You loved her
Don't joke. Love her...that's...
That'sbad!
An eraser?
It won't help
What're you doing?
What's this?
Sorry. We were sort of joking and...
As a joke?
Sorry. Sorry!
It's terrible...
My friend Tora of Toraya near the Temple
It's...I did it
The brush l held touched it
It happens. You know
Whoever you are, coming in unasked and doing this!
Get out!
Let's go
Wait!
I'm his guest! He insisted on my coming!
I'm a guest! Chasing a guest out?
A guest does this?
So I said it just happened!
Happened?
Stop it!
This is where l work!
Coming in, and doing this to my canvas!
I feel profaned!
Kuma wouldn't understand!
He'sTora
Same thing!
Say, letting a woman say this?
Women should be gentle and sweet!
Who decided it?
Everyobody knows!
Who said so?
From way back!
You decided it, Kuma?
Kuma'sBear
Hippopotamus!
Hippopotamus? Grasshopper!
Think you invented that?
I've always been called that. Didn't you know?
If you were a man I'd punch you good!
I'm sorry
I'm going! Don't stop me!
Who would?
Fresh because I made allowances for her!
You're some woman I'm shocked
I had to after he did this
I'm sorry
I'm leaving
I came into a bit of money. I'll leave it here
Excuse him. He's really a nice fellow
Not eating here?
I'll come again
Oh, yes, he's not Bear but Tora, Tiger. Whole name's Torajiro
Let's eat, Tora!
We're waiting. Hurry!
Something wrong?
In a bad humor since he came home
Let'seat
Your favorite food, Tora
Mitsuo. A baby hippopotamus was born at Ueno Zoo
Have Mommy take you to see it
You love hippos?
Babies have square face too?
Of course
Mitsuo...
All the talk's about hippos today?
Can't you eat quietly?
Yakking all day! So much to talk about?
Did something happen at Mr. Yanai's home?
No, why do you ask such things?
You're in a bad mood
Bad mood? Why should I be?
You're not happy
I'm no happy-go-lucky like you!
Can't grin all day like crazy!
You're full of cares, so you look grin
Why do you needle people like that?
Got a grudge against me?
Why would I?
Stop it now when we're enjoying our supper
Yes, Uncle's fault
It's not - not a bit
Mitsuo's a good boy
Even that bell bugs me!
I'll turn in!
All through tonight?
Shut up! Go to bed!
I'm late
Wait long?
Not very
Lunch
I'll make it for him. Don't worry
That's asking too much
Yes, this is Toraya
Thank you for letting Tora visit you the other day
What, now?
Oh, please do
Where are you now?
Straight down the temple road It's easy to find
Yes, we'll be waiting for you
Sakura, big news
Tora! Tora!
Miss Yanagi's coming!
The artist?
What for?
I don't know
Somebody tell her not to come!
She phoned from the temple!
Should've refused!
Moving this way?
The idea! Move
He'smad?
What's the matter?
Matter? Don't offer her tea!
Don't smile, Sakura! Ignore her!
Why?
Why? Never a decent woman artist from way back!
That's not so!
It is so!
Calm down!
Shut up! I won't let that woman in here!
I'll tell her "know-it-all" women and slugs make me sick in the stomach!
That it's no place for her!
Sakura, bring salt when I say so!
I'll throw it in her face!
Why, Kuma!
I'm Tora
Sorry, a mistake again
I'm so sorry about yesterday
Something unpleasant had happened so I was rude to you
Not at all. Please, please
Aunt, it's Miss Yanagi
I'm so glad you came
I'm Ritsuko. Pleased to meet you
Dont't stand with an open mouth! Fool!
His sister Sakura
Her husband Hirochi
All country people
Flowers from my garden for you, Kuma
I'm Tora
You know, Kuma...
A mistake again
I surprised you?
Why?
When I blew up...
Did you?
Yes, and I called him names
I'm too ashamed to repeat them Right, Tora...no, Kuma...no, Tora?
Did you? I've a bad memory, so I forgot
Lying. You remember
Nevermind
Aunt, hurry and bring them!
It's all we have
I'm treated when I came to apologize
Just plain food
Oh, no, I honestly can't cook at all
It's very good
She's a good cook
It's all I can do
How do you prepare it?
The night before skin and all...
Aunt!
She's just being polite
Yes, she eats rich food
Oh, no, I don't
I live alone, so when I'm working hard I forget to eat
So, when I get hungry at night it's bread and instant coffee
Very often
That'sbad
That's why you're so skinny
You go to your brother's home?
And eat there?
No, he's single yet
He's hopeless
It's hard on you with him
Never married
He did once but it didn't last
He gets tired too soon A bad fault
Look who's talking
He's a TV writer?
Yes, he resisted Dad and took the Literary course
He wanted to become a novelist
But he grew up pampered so he's good at nothing
He's not young either
I sometimes feel it would be nice if my brother had a family
But I guess he won't marry
You must be worried
He seemed gentle
Think so? Now, that you say so he may be a bit
He's okay - has good points
Sometimes, when he's in money he comes over
And asks me if I want some money and leaves 20,000 or 30,000 yen
20,000 or 30,000 yen?
You give us money too
Well, sometimes...
Good memory
Two 500 yen bills
Too bad! It's not what l'd like to do!
I don't have more!
What? 1 or 2 500 yen bills are to give kids
I'm not that rich!
It's nice
Why?
He's such a gentle brother
Calling me a gentle brother
A poor brother
Please eat
Tora
What, toilet?
No!
What? Money?
No, the taro's so good - a second helping
Oh, taro? You were so near me...
I'll bring more
Isn't she nice?
Naturally. Artists are all nice
Thanks!
Pardon. Where's the Toraya?
Nearhere
A guest
Excuseme
I'm Ritsuko Yanagi's friend
I phoned her and she said to wait here
Please do
Thank you
A place like this still left in Tokyo?
Does Ritsuko come here?
Japanese sweets? I see
Here already?
I'm sorry I'm late
I just got here
Thank you for the other day
Notatall. Some sweets?
Thank you
It's been some time
Busy, as usual?
Yes, poor and busy
So you say
Trouble. Where'sTora?
He's out
He always comes back singing at these times
They meet and it's the end Period
Fast this time
I delivered the sweets
Miss Ritsuko
Hello
Not coming on in?
This is Mr. Ichijo a rich business friend
Nonsense
How do you do
Excuseme
We'd like to talk alone
I'm sorry, Tora
What now?
It'll pan out
He'll go away
Dont't stop him. It'sfor his sake
Yes, before the wound gets deeper
An art dealer, so I make money
But you're special
My money in you can turn into the red I'm satisfied
I'll gain elsewhere
I know how you feel, Joe
Why won't you agree?
Let's do it this way. Think a few days more
Excuse me then
I'm sorry
Excuseme
It was poor hospitality
Who is he?
Where are you going?
Be happy with Hiroshi I'm going on a trip
Why?
Don't ask me why
Don't cry, Uncle
I think I overstayed my visit
Come again
I may not see you awhile
No matter how far away I am I'll pray for your happiness
He left! He left!
Sakura, did you see that man?
That hateful man! I hate him!
Aunt, I'm hungry!
Let's all eat!
Autumn's lovely!
What is it?
Rollsand packets?
Painting costs a lot?
Yes, the prices of canvas and paints are always rising
That art dealer buys good ones?
I hate to sell the ones I like
And I hate trying to sell ones I don't like
Can't sell any then
Can't eat if I don't
How much?
Oh, I forgot my purse
Never mind I'll pay
Nevermind
210 yen
I'm sorry I'll return it next time we meet
Don't worry and paint pictures
Thanks. I'm so happy
Tora, you're my patron?
Patron?
Yes, patron
This is far enough. My regards to everyone
Come again
Goodbye
Goodbye, my patron!
She said she forgot her purse but she has no money to buy bread
Smiling and seemingly carefree
But her frail body's fighting poverty and for next day's bread
An artist, you see
Are artists all poor?
Naturally!
Some are rich?
There're not artist
Paintings sell high
Don't butt in! Much you know!
What they like, they keep
What they don't like, they don't sell!
So no money comes in - that's an artist
Understand?
Well, not very well I'm not one
But when I sew a suit I like I hate to hand it to the customer
With Chiyo's suit...
You looked at it a long time
Yes, I did
You're an artist
Thanks
I don't understand
I wouldn't sell bad ones
But I'd sell good sweets proudly
So sweets aren't art
That's fine with me
How do artist eat then?
That's clear. You rich people should offer them money
Joking. Hard to eat ourselves!
Can't eat then
It's eat, eat, eat You eat too much!
Can't help it My only pleasure
Oh, how I hate your miserable way of life
But Tora, human beings live to eat
Yes
Can't communicate with you people
Can we?
That's so
I know it's hard to earn our daily bread
But that's not all in life
That's why Ritsuko's necessary - artists
Yes, yes
What's that?
We live and are moved by good music and magnificient paintings
Exactly. What you say is great The book says so?
No, but...
Anyway, human beings should find more happiness
Forinstance...
Uncle's "Bonsai" trees
Talking together like this too
Tora's falling in love too?
Fool!
It's no laughing matter
Loving a beautiful woman is proof he's alive
Right?
Stop it. Looking so serious Embarrassing
It's true
Proof I'm alive. Isee
Let's break up now
Lendmethis
Learn some words
Proof I'am alive
Proof I'am alive?
I'm hungry. A bit to eat
Good night
The books piled here,Roppodo BookStore had to sell fortaxes!
Good educational data!
I feel like your patron so I'm doing you a special favor!
But it's not free!
For I have a hungry wife and children waiting at home!
Embarrassing showing Mitsuo's pictures
Don't say that, amateur
He may become an artist if a real artist sees them
Very interesting
Full of color. Pretty
A free and easy style
A child, but he has caught people well
Whose face is this?
Uncle Tora
Can he become an artist?
Brother!
You said you wanted to ask her and came
It's too soon to say yet Yes?
Let him draw all he wants
Children don't think of such things
Guess not
Too soon to think of his future
Draw what you like
Not you
Coffee or tea?
I'll make it
Very drab?
No, it isn't
Lovely. I wish I could live in a room like this just once
A lovely picture
He went to America 10 years ago It seems he's very famous now
It's a nice painting I envy you
Why?
People dream of artist
I liked to draw when I was small I wanted to be an artist
Really?
In Jr. High, I liked music and wanted to become a singer
Then I began to work
So I thought I'd marry a wonderful artist
But married a poor painter
Be still!
Watching someone like you I feel envious recently
Why?
I wasn't like this before I wonder why too
It's age
Tora!
What're you drawing? Let me see
What's that?
Grasshopper and eschalot talking
Eschalot? Oh, no!
It's so noisy in summer
Cars pass all night long
Nowonder
A big drive-inn over there
So we can't see Mt. Fuji now
The mountain in back - all parceled out for sale
The maples were beautiful once
Let's move somewhere else A smaller house would do
Too bothersome
You're lazy
Gas fumes will kill me
That's what you always say
Inconvenient here
I went to see Mr. Ando's one-man show
Good, wasn't it?
Yes, I was surpised
He's very good
I thought women are no good
There are good ones
Dine with my wife and me tonight?
I must be runnning along
Businss?
Yes
I see. I won't insist then
Oh, yes, Ryosuke Mita... it seems he's getting married soon
Mr. Mita?
Yes, he said so when he came the other day
Who's the girl?
An heiress
It's like him
Hasn't eaten for 2 days?
I cooked rice gruel but she only ate a few spoonfuls
A fever?
No, she just seems listless and sighs sometimes
You must be worried, Young Master
Dont't call me that
What's funny?
Go away! Go home!
Get lost!
Not in bed?
I'm better today
Come in
Here will do
Eat some fruit?
Marvelous!
Thanks
Mustn't stay too long...
You just came Stay a bit longer
A cushion
You came?
I heard you were sick
Thanks
Beautiful weather!
My brother told you?
Yes
What'd he say?
Not a stomachache and no fever - he has no idea what's wrong
What's wrong?
Shall I tell only you the truth?
A secret. Don't tell anybody
I won't
I see
I have a broken heart
It's not his fault
I love him but he doesn't know At my age too
A grasshopper's love Funny?
Isn't it?
Yes, side-splitting funny
Can't eat - get skinnier
A butterfly!
He came home, went upstairs without a word, and to bed
What's the matter? No appetite?
A few spoonfuls of rice gruel
Nofever. Justlistless
He lets out big sighs from time to time
No mistake. Lovesick
No doctor can cure him
Does love makea person sick?
Yes, feels like having consumption
The heart...
I quit. It's stupid
Sakura!
Your brother? I ran over
I'm sorry
Are you all right now?
Yes, I'm fine now
We were all worried
I'm coming in
Wake up
Brother
Sakura
You look like Ritsuko
Pretty bad when it comes to this
BrotherProof I'am alive
What's Ritsuko doing now?
Tora, it's me
Even your voice sounds like Ritsuko's
I came to call on you
Ritsuko, you were here? I thought it was Sakura
I'm here too
Am I surprised Both of you here?
It's all jumbled up
Get a hold of yourself
I shouldn't bother him too long I'll run along
Tora, get well soon
Leaving already?
Isn't it awful? Tora's in bed lovesick?
No! Amistake!
Excuseme
No! Amistake!
Say, open it!
I'm sorry! Spare me!
I'll kill you!
Stop it!
Kill me! Kill me!
You're here?
I was worried - sick they said
A paunch is a nuisance
Cheer up and drink
Drink it and forget unpleasant things
Forget? Forget what?
This and that
Drink it
What's the idea?
I bought it to comfort you
Rubbing me the wrong way
What do you mean '"comfort'" me?
It's clear. About Ritsuko
Ritsuko? Somebody loves her?
Don't dare joke!
You confessed
If you don't, fine and dandy
Not much of a woman A grasshopper
You!
I won't let even you slam her!
Stop it!
Wait! Running?
Good evening
Passing by, so...
Dining? I'll come again
No, I don't mind
Come in
Really?
Yes
A little while
I'll sit here. Lookeaving soon
You needn't act so reserved
What's that music?
Parting melody
Parting melody?
A song of travellers?
It may be so
I'm in a quandary
Until now, I only thought of my art
And I'd like to continue it
So I'm only half a woman
I can't cook and I don't think I could raise children right
But still I'm a woman so your feelings make me very happy
I like you very much too
But I'm in a dilemma
I'd like us to be the kind of friends I could tell everything
Say no more I understand what you're saying
I wonder
I feel the more I talk the more what I say and think differ
Don't worry. I don't think so
But you've made a mistake
There's no thought of love when I think of you
We've been friends we'll always be friends
Really?
Yes, it's true, so don't worry
I'll make hot tea
What's the matter?
I don't understand
He went upstairs
Something happened Go and see
You were here?
Where to?
I overstayed my visit and bothered you
Nonsense
There's a time to move on
Uncle. Aunt. Take care of yourselves
Sakura
Something...?
I made trouble for Ritsuko
How?
No one must make her worry or cause her anxiety
For she can't paint beautiful things then
You understand?
Yes, I do
I want you to do me a favor
She's an artist and poor
You go over sometimes and if she dunks bread in coffee...
Cook something simple but hot and nourishing for her
Get along well with Hiroshi
Can't you stay until New Year's?
I can't
New Year's our businest time
No matter how cold it is we can't warm ourselves inside
A trying time for vendors
Brother!
I wanted to be friends always
Tora, the idiot...
Welcome! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Thanks for everything last year
Don't laugh!
Why're you shy?
Happy New Year
Last year...This year too...
They say clothes make the man
Didn't recognize you
This?
Present for Mitsuo
Pretty great
Better than Tora. Thanks
Gen's present
No. An important card
Thank Gen
'"I am writing this card in Spain
'"It will be New Year's when it reaches you
'"A Happy New Year, everyone
'"I am well and continuing to paint
'"What is my Tora doing? Is he still travelling?
'"From Spain. Ritsuko'"
Please come and look
Tigers die and leave their skins
I understand pictures
I don't like to sell pictures I like or pictures I don't like
I'd rather keep them in our storehouse
But l must live
My dear family wait at home
Works of art bringing 1000 or 2000 yen in Tokyo
Like committing hara-kiri I'll cut the price
Yamato was our 1st Country Awaji, the 1st Island
Goyemon, the 1st thief Chohan, 1st gambler
Slashing the price again!
Come and look. Nice and bad things in the world!
Danjo was a stage villain!
Next, the numbers 3, 3366!
Osen of Mishima, Yotsuya Akasaka, Kojimachi...!
