Welcome back!
Thank you.
Oshin!
Thank you for letting me go home.
My mother sends you her best.
Thank you so much.
She must be heartbroken.
At least I was able to tell my father about our marriage.
You were were able to tell him?
He was so happy and I'm glad.
That's good.
He was so angry when he came over that night.
I still remember it well.
He had a lot of spirit.
I wish I could've seen him again. We could've had drinks and talked.
He wasn't allowed to drink but he insisted.
He wanted to celebrate our wedding.
That night he took a turn for the worse.
But he died peacefully.
He was happy.
Please don't put yourself out for me.
I should be serving you!
No you're tired.
My job is done now that you're back.
Your husband didn't enjoy my cooking.
He was in a bad mood. I'm very glad to have you back.
Please rest.
I must go and take care of business.
Thank you.
You've had a rough time.
I've done my duty. I have no regrets.
That house is built too.
It's finished?
At least your father got to die in his new house!
You've done your duty to your parents.
You did good.
I'm relieved now
and I'll be able to think and live more for myself.
My mother told me to serve you well.
And to be happy.
I won't think about my home anymore.
I'm a Tanokura from this day on.
I'll be with you forever. And I'll bear you fine children.
I'm prepared to live in Tokyo until I die.
Please be good to me.
I'll never let you go.
We'll be together till death do us part.
Just as Genemon said I'm no good without you.
If my continuing to work is a problem I'll quit.
I won't have to send money home anymore.
That's all up to you.
If you enjoy working I won't complain.
If your heart is in our marriage it will go well.
That's all I could ever ask for.
Thank you.
Someko was here asking when you're coming home.
She says the other hairdressers are expensive and aren't any good.
You have clients waiting.
You have a duty to take care of them.
Yes.
You have changed. You even speak differently.
I'm trying harder to be a good wife to you.
I'm trying to get rid of my Yamagata accent.
I can't talk like a country girl forever.
It doesn't matter how one talks. It's one's heart that counts.
If I don't get rid of my accent I can never forget about Yamagata.
I'm sorry for being away for so long.
Your father died?
But at least you have a fine husband.
You won't be lonely.
Will you quit your hairdressing job?
Of course!
She's the wife of a businessman now.
It would be disgraceful. Her husband would never allow it!
No. I'll keep working.
Really?!
My husband says I can continue.
He did?
He is supportive of a woman having a job.
That sounds just like him!
He is a good man.
He treated us all with respect too.
He never tried anything with us like the other customers.
That's what a real gentleman is.
You sure got yourself a good man!
Yes you do!
We should all have a wedding celebration for them.
Yes let's have a big party!
You two haven't had a proper celebration yet have you?
We've been too busy.
We'll invite all his friends too.
But her father's just died...
He'll be happy that we are celebrating with her.
- It's okay isn't it? - I don't need a big party...
Just leave it to us! I got you two together.
- I'm like your matchmaker! - Listen to this older woman.
Sure...
Let's take them up on it.
But your father gave us money to have a proper party.
We should pay for it.
There is no need for such formality.
I'd rather have real friends to help us celebrate.
We're finally a couple.
A lot happened.
There were times when I almost gave up.
We're finally together.
I owe it all to you.
We're a real couple...
We'll be a husband and wife now.
Oshin gave her body and soul to Ryuzo.
She felt so fortunate being with him.
Not all over my face! It tickles.
Don't move.
Thanks.
Oshin.
Yes?
Shouldn't you go to see your hairdressing teacher?
I was waiting for things to settle down first.
Maybe we should go together.
- You'll come with me? - Yes.
I want to thank her for having taught you.
We're husband and wife now.
Let's go today.
We can walk down the street together.
That's what it means to be a married couple.
So you're married now? That's great!
Thank you for all you have done for Oshin.
I should thank her. She worked so hard.
And I haven't been able to do much for her at all.
You gave me the chance to work for myself.
I'm grateful.
I hear you've been very busy doing hair.
I was happy when I heard that.
I owe it all to you.
I've been meaning to visit but...
The other girls would've been very jealous of her.
That's why I sent Oshin away.
Being a hairdresser must be very rough.
It was worse in the old days.
One would study for up to six years
then one still had to work for free for four years or so.
I remember working for free for 10 years.
Times sure have changed.
Thank you.
Are the other girls out?
No they all quit. It's just Oritsu now.
I'm trying to get her to learn Western hair style too.
No I can't leave you all alone by yourself!
You don't want to be left behind the times.
We have so few customers wanting
the traditional Japanese hairstyles.
The economy is to blame too.
Japanese styles take time and money!
Western styles are cheap and easy too.
But they can't learn the Western styles here.
I can't blame the other girls for leaving.
It's just the two of you?
We only get geisha now. I can handle it alone.
I shouldn't be talking so gloomy!
We have no customers do we? Let's drink!
No please don't bother.
I'm happy to have you.
Please stay.
Oshin...
A woman's happiness is with a man she can rely on.
Don't be like me.
Taka seemed lonely.
Oshin could feel the changing times.
