Episode 25
Oshin went to visit her mother in Ginzan hot springs
before going off to work in Sakata herself.
She was to work as a live-in for two years.
So she wanted to see her mother before she had to go.
That night they shared a bed.
She'd never slept with her mother before.
You're so warm.
You're a strong girl.
You came all this way to see me.
You'll be facing hardships but I won't worry about you.
You're special.
Nothing will ever happen to you.
You even got to this faraway place all on your own.
Oshin...
Live your life as you see fit.
Have no regrets!
Never depend on others... You can do it.
Wherever you go be able to live on your own.
Leaving already?
She has to get an early start to reach Sakata.
She's not going home?
She's going there to work as a live in.
At her age?
I get paid five bales of rice for two years of work.
I have some sweets for you to eat with your rice balls.
Ofuji made them.
Thank you for everything.
I couldn't do anything for you. You just take care!
She's nice isn't she?
Yes.
Oshin always return the kindness you receive from others.
Never be selfish or uncaring of others.
Here.
Don't lose your money for transportation to Sakata.
No I can walk!
Sakata's a very faraway place. Take the boat.
I got you a ride on a horse cart until the boat dock.
Mother...
Don't worry. I can't do much else for you.
I wish I could give you spending money too.
Forgive me.
I didn't come here to get money. I'm just happy I got to be with you.
Oshin...
I won't see you for another two years but I can wait now.
I won't run away like the last time.
The horse cart will be leaving soon.
Mother take care of yourself.
I'll see you off.
Mother this kokeshi doll looks like you!
See this one!
It doesn't resemble me.
It has a kind face just like yours.
Take it with you.
This doll will keep you company in my place.
Think of it as me...
Mother!
This always falls off the shelf!
She's so strange... Why keep this old kokeshi?
Oshin took a boat down the Mogami river.
Her journey to Sakata was finally coming to an end.
This is the place.
This is it? It's a big store!
Be sure to work hard.
Thank you.
Hang in there!
Hello.
I'm Oshin I've just arrived to start work here.
Please look after me.
Who brought you here?
I came here by myself.
Aren't you mistaken?
Isn't this Kaga-ya the rice dealer?
Yes.
Then I've come to the right place.
I don't recall asking for a new worker.
I was told to come babysit here!
Who told you?
- Oriki told me! - Oriki?
Go and ask the young madam at to come.
Welcome back!
Welcome back.
I've settled things with Sawada-ya.
That's good!
Be sure to take care of all the details.
You can't rely on me for everything!
You know Sawada-ya so things went smoothly!
You can't depend on your mother all the time.
I want to retire!
It's tough to have children late in one's life.
Who's this child?
Did anyone ask for a babysitter?
A babysitter? I don't think so.
It must be some kind of mistake.
See this isn't the place!
I was told to come to Kaga-ya the rice dealer!
We didn't ask for you so go on home.
Welcome home.
The madam here has already cleared up the matter.
Don't tell me you asked for a babysitter without first asking me?
We'd never do such a thing without your permission!
I was told to come here!
I'm supposed to get five bales of rice for two years of work.
I'm not lying... Oriki told me!
It's the truth! I'm not lying!
Is Oshin really with Ofuji?
I hope she didn't just go to Sakata.
Maybe she did.
But that deal isn't set yet!
You mentioned that job to Oshin. That's why she went!
I was just asking her how she felt about it.
I haven't talked to Kaga-ya yet!
Will they turn her away at the door?
They weren't certain they needed a babysitter yet.
Or maybe they found somebody on their own.
If they won't give her the job it will be too cruel...
She was so happy about going to work!
I'll go to Sakata tomorrow and check.
Thanks.
I have business there anyway!
This is for you.
You can't go all the way home being hungry.
You did ask Oriki to find you a sitter?
You think Osayo doesn't need a babysitter.
There's no reason why Omino can't look after her own baby.
She hasn't been well since giving birth.
She was never strong to begin with.
It's all my fault.
You can't care for Osayo.
We have two girls to help us but one will be taking Kayo to school
so you will end up doing most of the work.
If you do all the work and care for the baby you'll get sick!
I raised all five of my children myself!
Can't you take care of just two?
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
Sorry but you'll have to go.
Stay at an inn tonight and take the boat home tomorrow.
This is money for the inn and the boat fare. Keep the rest.
I'm sorry you had to come so far.
Please eat before you go.
I'm not going home.
I came to work for the rice! Please keep me here!
I'll work hard!
I can't go home! I won't go home!
Please! I beg you!
I beg you! I beg you!
Thanks to Avallac'h and XrayMind at D-Addicts.
