Episode 60
After a couple of months of doing hair for the café waitresses
Oshin became popular among the workers of the neighborhood.
The café girls appreciated Oshin's innovative hairstyles.
They also appreciated Oshin's kind and helpful manner
and she was invited to do hair at other establishments as well.
Oshin's days were busier than ever.
I need your help in making me a kimono by next Sunday.
I'll have it for you by Saturday.
That's my Oshin! I'll tip you well.
You don't have to I'm just happy to help.
You're too nice!
Can you pick up something for me tomorrow?
You are taking advantage of her too!
I don't mind. I'll pick it up on my way here.
You're doing too much!
I know you were told to make house calls is part of your training
but you don't have to try so hard to please the clients.
I'd overlook it if it was just once or twice
but are you a hair- dresser or a seamstress?
I'm sorry. I just wanted to help out.
There are limits to things!
You write letters for them and do their errands too.
Maybe you should give up on going out to do hair
if you have to go that far to get customers.
A hairdresser must please her clients to survive!
It's only natural for me to do all I can
as long as I don't inconvenience all of you here.
Don't talk big just because you get tips!
If you were on your own maybe this is good.
But you're still just an apprentice here.
What you do reflects on the owner too!
Stop this disgrace now!
What's all the noise so late at night?
I'm sorry to wake you. I'm just fed up with Oshin!
She's taking advantage of you and doing as she pleases.
It's not a good example to set for the others!
Fine.
I'll talk to Oshin. You go on up to bed.
I'm sorry it's all my fault.
I think the time has come for you to leave.
If you stay here you'd still be on the lowest rung on the ladder.
A mere maid.
I can't always be protecting you.
I let you go out to do hair as training...
But once you start getting paid you can't stay here.
It might sound silly but we all have rules.
I don't want you here being just a maid.
It's best if you go out on your own.
I'm not throwing you out. You have many client...
And you're good enough to charge for your services.
You can make it on your own.
Yes but...
Sure it will be tough but you'll be free to be yourself.
You won't have to do maid's work.
You'll have your own time to do your own work.
And you can take on more clients. I think that's best for you.
It doesn't have to be right away.
I owe you so much and I haven't helped you out at all.
You already worked for me for three years that's enough.
I want you to be independent.
You have something that the others lack.
You can do it!
I'll find you a place to live so don't worry.
Just trust your own skills.
This will be your true test!
You'll be going out on your own?
Your teacher sounds very understanding.
Well good luck!
Now we have to start paying you for your services.
Of course!
She's good enough to get paid.
I'm not that good and I'll make it cheap.
Don't give discounts to other people!
You'll need more clients too.
I'm afraid I might not get any.
Don't worry. We'll help you out.
We can help you find a room too.
Thank you I just need a place to sleep.
You'll need to cook too.
If you eat out all your money will be gone.
We'll buy you all the kitchenware you need.
Maybe a small table and cushions too.
We have shop owners among our clients.
We'll talk to them and get good discounts!
Oshin was happy...
She felt unsure about leaving her teacher's home
even though the others treated her with contempt.
But these café girls were giving her confidence.
I'll do that!
No it's still my job for as long as I'm here.
You're smart to leave.
You know Japanese-style hair is going out.
You just pack up and leave.
Young people can be so ungrateful.
You're still doing this kind of work?
I have to find a room before I can leave.
You're so hard-working!
That man came to see me. The one you wrote the letter to.
Ryuzo?
He took me out for sushi after work.
But Shigeko and Oyae tagged along too!
He came because of that letter you wrote.
I'll treat you to something good!
That's not why I came!
I came to tell you that a café on the Ginza
wants you to come out and do hair.
The Ginza?
Ryuzo brought the message.
This is the place.
It's a classy place writers and artists go there!
The waitresses have all been to school too.
They're probably awful but just bear with it.
Maybe you can get regular clients there.
The more customers the better.
Working on the Ginza will give you class too.
So you don't have to come and do us today.
But...
They want you there at 5 o'clock.
Just do your best. It's the Ginza!
Otsuru you work here too?
What do you think you're doing!
You're here to take my clients away?
I was asked to come here...
I've been working here for ages and now they tell me I'm out!
So it was you!
- I didn't know... - How dare you!
I let you take Kanda away from me.
They were all stingy and I was sick of it.
But I'll never give up my Ginza business!
Why don't you just leave!
I'm not here because I want to be here.
Then go!
Where I work is my business!
You're saying I can't work here?
I have an appointment.
You can't just come in here.
Tell her! She's just a country girl.
Otsuru does all the hair here.
I was asked to come. Don't tell me what to do.
Don't be disrespectful!
She needs to be taught a lesson!
I'll show you what goes on here.
Don't try to get tough with me!
Don't take me for a fool!
Stop it!
Stay out of this!
You're persistent!
Young master...
Why are you picking on this girl?
She was being disrespectful.
Are you all right? You're bleeding.
I'm sorry for causing all this trouble.
Miss Okayo!
It's you!
Oshin?
Thanks to Avallac'h and XrayMind at D-Addicts.
