Episode 58
Taka had told Oshin to go out on a job to do hair.
It was her first time and Oshin was very hesitant.
But she had no choice but to go.
What is it?
I've come to do hair.
You're new aren't you?
Yes Someko asked me to come.
Go around to the back.
Okay.
What's that style called?
There's no name for it.
I do a variety to fit the customer's face.
But you can't just wear any style hair!
Why not? We all have different looks.
We should all wear styles that fit us.
That style makes you look good.
A customer told me it made me look 20!
Maybe I should ask her to do mine too.
You have Otsuru as your hairdresser!
She only does set styles.
You got tired of Otsuru that's why you got her.
Why copy me?
I think she's better than Otsuru.
I want hair that compliments me.
It's okay isn't it?
I'm sorry I was told to do only this customer today.
One or two. What's the difference?
The more hair you do the more you'll make.
I only do what our owner tells me.
You don't have to tell her at all!
You can keep the extra money you make.
Then you can give me a discount too.
I can't decide that on my own.
- She sure is dull! - That's her virtue.
You sure are serious. I'm impressed.
Go back and ask your owner.
How do you like it?
Thank you.
I like it! How much?
I'll pay for the last time too.
She didn't tell me how much to charge.
You didn't even ask?
I was just told to come here to do your hair.
You can't do hair for nothing!
Ask her and I will pay you the next time.
Thank you.
- Don't forget me too. - I won't.
Thank you.
You can come every other day so come at the same time.
This is from me. You can keep it for yourself.
No I wasn't told about accepting money!
Excuse me.
She's a funny one!
It's unusual in this day and age.
Otsuru gets upset if we don't tip her.
She's still innocent.
But she'll soon get to be like Otsuru.
Oshin is nothing like that Otsuru. She can be trusted.
Sorry to be late.
Oshige's been waiting for you.
- Look at your hair! - Isn't it nice!
It looks terrible! I'll fix it!
Osome likes it. She has a new hairdresser.
You'd better be careful or you'll lose business.
You should start giving us discounts.
That hurts!
What's the meaning of sending Oshin out to do hair by herself?
The customer asked for her personally.
If Oshin does something wrong you will be blamed.
Besides she isn't good enough to charge money!
You sent her out ahead of Okei and Onatsu!
I'm back.
Who would pay for your services?
This is all nonsense!
I didn't get paid... Should I have asked for it?
You came back without being paid? You got nothing?
I'm sorry.
I wasn't told to charge.
- That's all right. - But...
Oshin's still in training.
I didn't say anything about money
because she's still just practicing.
Just work hard to do a good job.
And you will soon get other customers.
Don't even think about getting paid just yet.
Okay.
Somebody else asked for my services today.
Good.
That means you can practice more.
- You'd let me. - Yes.
See how far you can go with your skills.
Don't charge them until I tell you to.
I won't.
You're under my care and I'll let you have your
own business once you are trained
but you can accept tips if someone offers it to you.
Okay.
You can do Western-style hair too. If you like.
What you do out on a house call is your business.
We will have fewer Japanese-style hair to do.
It's the only way to survive.
Years of training will mean less now.
Pleasing a customer is what counts now.
Tell the other girls too.
I'll go make dinner.
What are you doing? It's past 3 o'clock!
I'm too busy to go out on a call today.
Don't be silly. Your customers are waiting!
But we're so busy here today.
Don't inconvenience your clients or you will never survive.
It'll jeopardize my position too. You want me to lose face?
Please take over for me.
We can't ask you to do our hair for nothing!
Those are my orders.
She says it'll be good practice for me.
This owner of hers sounds strange too.
Maybe I will have Oshin do my hair too.
Just because it's free?
I'll be glad to do it.
- Will you do mine too? - Yes.
There's not enough time today to do everybody.
- Come by earlier the next time. - Please do.
I will stop going to my hairdresser.
I'll cancel Otsuru and switch to you.
I can count on you?
Yes.
You look great with that style!
Oshin has created a style just for me.
I didn't copy anyone. It's my style and mine only!
- Do you like it? - Yes thank you.
That's it for today.
I have a favor to ask of you.
Come with me.
I know you're busy but I need your help.
I need you to write a letter for me.
Here's the stationary. I'll make some ink for you.
Some people here can write but I can't ask them.
I know you can be trusted to keep a secret.
It's a letter to one of our customers.
He hasn't been coming around lately.
The ink is ready. Just write as I dictate.
Okay.
My dearest Ryuzo.
My heart is breaking.
I haven't seen you for days.
I cry at night thinking of you.
Please come to see me.
I'll be waiting.
Your my sun and the stars!
Does that sound funny?
Um no...
The sun and the stars... Is that all?
And flowers too.
Please come.
From Someko. To my dearest Ryuzo.
You really are good aren't you Oshin?
What's the address?
He wrote it down for me.
He's so good-looking! I wish you could see him.
He has his own business and he's single too!
Don't tell any of the other girls!
I know you can be trusted. Thanks!
You've been a great help!
Now he'll know how I feel about him.
This is for writing the letter for me.
Take it. Otherwise I can't ask you
to write me letters the next time!
Please mail this for me on your way home.
I really appreciate your help.
- I can help you any time. - Thanks.
If he comes to see me I will treat you!
Oshin was now seeing a world she had not known.
Everything was new to her even writing love letters.
Oshin tried to imagine what this man looked like.
She had no idea of the role he was to play later in her life.
