Episode 64
Oshin finally found a room and now she was on her own.
She lived upstairs from the elderly landlord couple.
The waitresses at the café helped her find new clients.
For the first time Oshin had time for herself.
She also did sewing for the waitresses.
Oshin!
Yes?
Got it?
Are you Oshin?
Yes.
Here's your mirror stand. Where do you want it?
- A mirror stand? - Right.
I didn't order a mirror stand.
You're Oshin aren't you?
I am.
And this is the address.
Mr. Tanokura ordered it to be delivered.
Mr. Tanokura the businessman.
Ryu?
Let's take it in.
Wait a minute!
Please take it back.
It's too expensive!
But...
I can't accept it... Take it back.
What kind of man is Mr. Tanokura?
He had a mirror stand delivered to me.
He did? That's so nice.
Maybe because of the letters you wrote for me
he's been coming around lately.
And he asks about you each time he comes.
I guess he still feels badly for that incident in Ginza.
I told him that you needed a mirror stand and he remembered.
What kind of mirror stand was it?
I didn't get a good look. I had them take it back.
You returned it?
I have no reason to accept gifts from him.
Don't be silly! You need it.
There's no reason for me to accept it.
Sure there's a reason. You got hurt on account of him.
It was all his fault so he sent it as an apology.
It wasn't his fault.
Those of us who do not have money
have to learn to get things from those who do!
How else can a woman make it alone?
What a waste!
Those things are expensive!
I'm trying to get him to buy me a fur stole.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
There's a guest waiting for you.
He insisted so I let him wait upstairs.
He brought us a gift too.
Such a nice man! Be sure you thank him for us.
I'm sorry to call on you unexpectedly.
I'm sorry about sending that mirror stand.
I was so surprised when you didn't accept it.
I should have explained. That's why I waited.
I can't accept an expensive gift like this.
I got you into trouble by inviting you over
to do hair for the girls at the Ginza café.
I've been meaning to make it up to you.
Then I heard you needed a mirror stand.
It's to apologize for what I put you through.
Just because of that?
It's also a gift to celebrate your going out on your own.
I have no reason to accept gifts from you.
Why?
After the dinner we had together before Okayo left for home
she asked me to take good care of you.
And I'd like to do so.
I admire a woman who's trying to make it on her own.
I want to do all I can to help!
Call me anytime. I'll be going now.
You write very well.
I got letters from three different women
all written in the same hand. I was wondering who wrote them.
I'm sure you think I'm no good for being the object
of affection from three different women.
Those girls aren't after me...
They want my money! I thought I'd better tell you.
Miss Okayo it's been a month since you left for home.
How are you? Please write.
I go to your room to clean up from time to time
but there's no sign of Kota having returned.
Mr. Tanokura bought me a mirror stand.
But I feel uncomfortable accepting such a gift.
I can't figure him out.
Is he smart or stupid? He sure is difficult to grasp.
I haven't unpacked the mirror stand yet.
If Kota should write or come back I will send word.
Please be good to your family.
Kayo.
I need to talk to you.
What's the news from Oshin?
She's gone out on her own and is working very hard.
She's steady. She'll make it.
Are you sure you don't have a lover in Tokyo?
If so why isn't he writing?
You've been here a month already. Isn't he concerned for you?
Give up on this man!
Please.
Kayo!
Go in.
We've found a husband for you.
Tomorrow is the marriage meeting.
We think he's perfect for you and Kaga-ya as an adoptive husband.
Understood?
He's the third son of an Osaka rice dealer.
And he's a graduate of the Imperial University in Tokyo.
Good family and good education.
We're honored.
He saw your picture and fell in love!
Now that the Great War is over Japan is among the world's powers!
Our economy will keep growing!
We have to upgrade our business too.
We need a college graduate to run our business.
You're the heiress
and we need a qualified man to be your adoptive husband.
I asked you to stay at least a month.
Why do you think I asked you to do that?
I figured that if you had a man in Tokyo
he'd surely come to see you within that time.
I decided that if this man loves you enough to visit us here
I would let you marry him.
But there's no word from him at all.
You're not even trying to get us to meet him.
Nothing's come of it at all!
Forget this man.
I figured as much!
I deserve freedom. It's old-fashioned
to expect me to sacrifice myself for the family business!
I want no part of it!
Why don't you wake up?
This man doesn't even care if you're gone a month!
He'll never make you happy.
You'll have nothing but heartache with him!
I know that but I don't mind.
I'm willing to spend my whole life waiting for him.
I won't regret it. It's my life! I want to live it the way I want.
Kayo!
I don't care who takes over Kaga-ya!
I don't care about all the money we have.
I refuse to be tied down by it.
Forget about me. Just let me go.
No! Don't go!
You're the heiress to the Kaga-ya business.
I kept it going all these years for you!
You're my everything!
I never asked to take over Kaga-ya.
I have things in life more important to me.
Forgive me!
Grandma?
Grandma...
Someone!
Help!
We need help!
Are you okay?
Someone! Come and help me!
You still insist on going back to Tokyo?
Who do you think made your poor grandmother ill?
The doctor says it's caused by years of worry and stress.
She worried so much about you each day.
Then Sayo died too.
If you don't stop causing her pain she will never get well.
She's so concerned about the future of our business too.
That's why I can't come back to Tokyo.
I had my marriage meeting yesterday.
But I haven't decided yet if I'll take a husband
and take over the family business.
My feelings for Kota haven't changed.
But I feel very foolish for caring for a man
who doesn't care for me and for causing my family pain.
Oshin knew what Kayo was going through.
She still came to clean her room
but she didn't want Kayo to come back.
Oshin wanted Kayo to stay in Sakata and fulfill her
duty of taking over the Kaga-ya business.
