Episode 67
On Kayo's wedding day
Oshin did her best in styling her hair in the ceremonial style.
Your hair is beautiful!
Oshin sure is good.
She did a good job.
I'm glad. The Kaga-ya business will be in good hands now.
I'm sorry to have caused you all concern.
From this day on I'll do my best for Kaga-ya.
Grandma...
Please live a long healthy life. I want you to be watching over me.
Congratulations.
Thanks. We owe it all to you.
Oshin had not told Kayo that Kota had come
back to Tokyo and that he was in her apartment.
Oshin felt badly for having betrayed Kayo.
But seeing Kayo in her wedding kimono
and seeing how everyone was so happy made her feel better
and she was convinced herself that it was for the best.
Thank you Oshin.
My old self is no longer...
Don't say that.
I'll be staring a new life now.
Throw all my things in Tokyo away.
I don't want anything that would make me think of Tokyo again.
I won't need my canvases and brushes anymore.
No more oil painting for me.
Oshin...
Live your life as you see fit. Be happy for my sake too.
Thanks.
As a guest you shouldn't be working.
I'm happy to be helping you.
You're quite a woman now... That kimono suits you nicely.
I wasn't planning to stay for the wedding
so I didn't bring anything. Madam let me wear one of Miss Okayo's.
You're the same age as Kayo.
it's time you got married too.
You don't know who Kayo was seeing in Tokyo?
No.
I feel badly for her.
It's a pity that she had to be the one to continue the Kaga-ya name.
I just hope her husband is good to her.
He's very dignified.
He's from a good family and he's educated.
But he wouldn't have come as an adoptive husband
if we weren't as rich as we are.
I'd wanted Kayo to marry someone who'd love her no matter what.
As the one to continue the Kaga-ya name it's fate.
Oshin?
Oriki!
Ofuji was so happy when I read her your letter.
You sent her your first earnings as a hairdresser.
And it was big money. 20 yen!
She's been so good to me. She helped me go to Tokyo.
If it weren't for her I'd been sold off.
Your father almost killed her.
He found out about the money order you'd sent
and he demanded to know where it came from.
He took the money away from her.
The economy got good because of the Great War
but the life of a sharecropper hasn't improved at all.
The rice prices keep going up
but only the landlords and rice dealers get rich.
No wonder he gets greedy when it comes to money.
I'd been worrying since I hadn't heard from her.
I'm sorry.
She asked me to write you but I've been too busy.
Besides the news wasn't any good.
She didn't want me to tell you about what happened.
That father and brother of yours...
They're so hard on her.
When will you be going back to the village?
I just came for the wedding.
I'll go back with you...
To see for myself. I'm worried about my mother.
Don't be silly. You can't go home!
Who knows what might happen to you.
- But... - Ofuji won't be happy.
Just stay away...
Live your own life.
Don't deal with your father and brother again.
I want to take her with me to Tokyo.
I don't want her to suffer anymore. She can have a better life in Tokyo.
I can do that much for her.
Miss Okayo's married now.
A big load has been lifted off of my shoulders.
Mother!
Your hair is so gray!
Why did you come?
Leave before your father and brother get home.
But mother...
I want you out of my life now.
You don't exist to me anymore!
Why do you say that?
You're capable of living your own life now.
Forget about us!
What good will it do for you to come back now?
Leave while you still can! Hurry and go!
Go!
You're a hairdresser in Tokyo?
You do as you please while we slave here.
Not just you...
My other siblings don't come by either.
Just because I'm the eldest son of a sharecropper.
I foil day and night for nothing!
I can't even get married. I'm tired of this!
Oh come on. Don't you worry now.
Oshin will be helping us from now on with money.
What are you saying?
She's been out working since age seven!
And you still want to squeeze money out of her?
She's 19 now and she has to think of marriage.
I won't let you use her anymore!
It's only natural that a sister helps her older brother.
We still have big loans to pay off.
If we don't clear our debts Shoji can't marry.
He spends all our money on sake.
I don't drink because I like it!
I labor day in and day out and look at us!
We're not human beings!
If I go to work in the munitions factory
I can wear nice clothes and earn good wages.
Go I won't stop you.
Not again!
If Shoji leaves who'll tend the fields?
I'd rather he leave than complain every day!
Yes I'll leave!
I've had enough of this life!
Shoji... Wait! Shoji!
What are you doing?
You should be the one to leave!
You can't even put in a good day's work!
How can you say that?!
All the other kids have left us... Only Shoji is here.
He keeps us going and if you don't like him
you should be the one to leave!
Mother you okay?
Don't worry. It's nothing new.
Oshin made up her mind to take her mother away from all this.
