Episode 36
Kuni had suddenly told Oshin to visit home.
She was confused.
She was happy to be able to see her mother and grandmother
but she didn't know why she was being sent home.
Take some of Kayo's old clothes with you.
We want you to dress nicely.
We don't want your mother and grandmother to think badly of Kaga-ya.
Why are you taking all your things?
I just thought you didn't want me to return here.
This visit is your reward for working so hard.
It's a good chance with Oriki here to take you back with her.
Take only what you need you'll be coming back.
You can come back and work harder than ever
after seeing your mother and grandmother.
Will I really be able to come back here?
Absolutely!
Take your medicine.
Never mind.
I know what's best for me.
Medicine is expensive. It's just a waste.
The weather's getting warmer you'll get better soon!
Does it hurt?
I'll be relieved of all pain soon...
Grandma!
I had a dream about Oshin. They were being mean to her again.
She was calling out to me for help but I couldn't reach out to her.
No they're being very good to Oshin.
You didn't see her. How do you know?
Oriki keeps her eyes on Oshin during her visits.
I wouldn't believe that woman.
I miss Oshin...
Oshin was so good to me. She was so sweet and smart too.
She's had such a hard time at such a young age.
I wasn't able to help her at all.
Don't talk too much. You'll tire yourself.
When Oshin first went off to work I gave her a 50-sen coin to take with her.
That was all I could do for her...
That was the only thing I ever did for her
and that coin caused her to be accused of stealing.
You gave her that coin?
I caused her grief.
No you took good care of Oshin. She loves you more than anybody.
I want to see Oshin...
I want to see her before I die.
Two years will pass quickly and she will be back.
If you get well you will see her.
Fuji...
She has to use diapers now...
She misses Oshin.
There's no way to send her to Sakata to see Oshin.
Please make her something good to eat.
It's too late now. She can hardly eat...
If only I had gotten back home sooner.
Mother!
Oshin!
Did they send you back again? What have you done now?
Oshin sure runs fast!
What's going on?
Go see your grandma.
Oriki...
The old madam has given her time off for that.
Go on.
Grandma!
It's me Oshin! Grandma! Grandma...
Mother?
Since you and I were both away she worked herself too much.
She became ill just as I got back home.
She overworked herself. I feel so bad.
Grandma!
Medicine does her no good.
I'm glad you got to come home.
Is that why they sent me home? To see grandma?
She'll be so happy to see you when she wakes up.
She missed you a lot.
Oshin!
I've made gruel for you.
Let her sleep. It might be too late.
Please call the doctor!
She's beyond a doctor's help.
That's ridiculous!
It's me Oshin!
- Oshin...? - Yes it's me.
I came home to see you.
Kaga-ya's old madam gave me time off to come and see you.
It's really you?
Yes it's her.
You're wearing such a nice kimono.
The young madam gave it to me. They are good to me.
You look good.
I have white rice for you to eat.
The old madam gave me rice to bring to you.
There's enough for you to eat your fill.
You made this for me?
I put an egg in it. It's good!
It's so good.
Please eat a lot and get better.
I was never able to do anything for you.
Yet you've always treated me so well.
Thank you.
Because of you I was never lonely. Even when mother was away.
I was able to bear it. I owe it all to you.
You're such a sweet girl.
Be good to others as you were to me.
Then they'll be good to you in return.
I'm so glad you came home.
I have no more regrets.
Get well grandma.
This gruel is so good...
Grandma!
She's smiling...
She's happy that you made gruel for her...
Naka died later that night.
She'd wed a poor sharecropper and worked all her life.
She never ever had enough to eat.
She died without knowing what happiness was.
She never thought of herself and she lived for her family.
That's how a woman lives. For her family.
The old madam's words rang true to Oshin now.
Oshin wanted more out of her life.
More than her mother or her grandmother.
Oshin didn't want to find comfort in death.
Oshin felt both pity and anger at what had happened to her grandmother.
She got to see you before she died so she'll rest in peace.
It'll be lonely here without her.
You'll be going back to Sakata with Oriki tomorrow.
Keep this as a memento of your grandmother.
She gave it to you when you first went to work.
When the people from the lumber dealer returned it
I didn't know what it was for so I just kept it in here.
Your grandmother told me about it before she died.
She had given you all she had to give.
Keep it as an amulet for your grandmother's sake.
I will work hard and I'll make a lot of money.
I don't want to be like grandma.
I don't want to have nothing when I die.
I'll never be a sharecropper!
Oshin...
Please take good care of her.
Don't worry about Oshin.
- Take care of yourself. - You too.
Be sure to thank everyone.
Let's go.
Please wait a minute.
Okay.
Oshin was headed back to Sakata but she was no longer the same girl.
She was growing up.
