Episode 78
So that's how you ended up marrying grandpa?
I wonder why I told my father what I was thinking...
It's still a puzzle to me...
You were in love with Ryuzo.
I never met grandpa but he sounds like a man.
People are funny...
Sometimes it takes something unexpected
to make one realize how one really feels.
I'd always liked Ryuzo but I didn't think I'd marry him.
I had my heart closed off from him.
When my father told me not to see him...
And when he told me it was more important
that I helped my brother by building the house
I began wondering why I had to
keep working so hard that I got sick.
You've been suppressing your true feelings because
you felt an obligation to keep sending money back home.
You weren't aware of your true feelings.
Aren't you glad that you finally saw it?
What's so wonderful about it? There was more trouble to come.
So what? You married the man you loved.
If you hadn't you would still have regrets.
It wasn't a passionate kind of love.
I felt that he could give me a life full of peace.
Maybe I was exhausted from working so hard to send money home.
You made the right decision.
My life didn't turn out to be so peaceful.
It wasn't easy for us to get married.
If we had given up
my life would have been so very different.
That's fate...
You can't go bothering him so late at night!
He wants to marry my daughter!
I want to know what his intentions are!
It's too rude for you to go there now.
I need to go back home tomorrow.
Important talk has to be done right away.
I'll get ready and go with you.
Maybe young master did ask her to marry him.
But Oshin refused him I thought it was over.
If it were over
I wouldn't be here in the middle of the night like this.
Oshin told me she intends to marry him.
She's very important to our family.
I can't give her away as I would a cat.
Father...
Oshin earns a good living as a hairdresser.
We need her earnings to help us out.
I can't just have someone take her away from me!
You came here just to talk like this?
As her father I wanted you to know how I feel.
Yes but...
Please forget about Oshin.
We have no intention of taking Oshin as a bride!
The Tanokura family owns a lot of land!
We can't have a share- cropper's daughter as a bride.
You can rest easy and leave!
Don't come telling us about how you
won't allow your daughter to marry!
What was that?
What's wrong with being a sharecropper?
I don't need a merchant telling me about family life or ancestry!
Don't act so big! Let's go Oshin!
Oshin!
I'm so sorry...
Young master!
It wasn't supposed to be like that...
Wake up!
You're a skilled worker you don't need a man.
You can make it on your own.
And you always wanted to be independent.
You don't have to look for trouble with a man like that.
They're landlords? You think you can be happy with him?
Give him up. It's for your own good!
Once the house is built come home to Yamagata.
This is no place for you.
You can still do hair back home in the country.
Your mother wants you home too. She is getting old...
Oshin detested how her father expected her to earn money for him.
Oshin couldn't understand how he really felt.
How a father feels when he's about to lose his daughter.
- Who's there? - It's me Tanokura.
I'm so sorry about last night.
Where's your father?
He left on the train this morning.
I'd wanted to talk things over with him.
Will you join me for lunch? I have something I must ask you.
Please bring the food after we're done talking.
Call me when you're ready.
I was shocked to hear what your father had to say.
You really told him you wanted to marry me?
Yes.
I need to know. Did you really mean it?
Yes I meant it.
You told me you'd never marry a man you didn't love.
Do you want to marry me for some other reason?
No.
You refused my proposal because
you couldn't bring yourself to love me.
That's right.
Then why?
People's feelings can change.
While I was in the hospital your mother came to tell us
how opposed she was at our being together.
She said you'd be disowned
and that you'd lose your business too.
My mother is old-fashioned.
You told her that you'd go your own way no matter what.
It touched my heart...
I'd never been happier.
But I tried...
I tried not to have feelings for you.
That's why I refused your offer of paying my hospital bills
and I'd feel badly each time you did something nice for me.
Why?
I don't want to make you unhappy.
I have to keep working to send money home.
I thought we could never really be together.
Don't be silly... the times have changed!
As long as two people love each other nobody can keep us apart!
Father told me that I'd have to work to support my older brother
and when he opposed our seeing each other
I... realized how much I loved you.
I was scared about never being free.
That's why I kept working to help my family.
But I've had enough!
You'll really marry me?
I've calmed down since last night and I know I can never marry you.
But I wanted you to know how I really felt!
I feel much better now.
If I can marry you I'm willing to lose everything.
But if I lose my business I'd be a burden to you.
So I can't just casually ask you to marry me.
You'd regret it if you gave up everything for me.
You think I'm that hopeless?
If I lose my business I'll start over from scratch!
No difficulty can defeat us both! I'll work hard for you.
If I'm with you I'm not afraid of anything.
I will keep doing hair so you won't have to earn all the money!
I'm not counting on your income.
As a man I can do anything! I'll show you that I can.
But we must first get that house built for your family.
It's your responsibility.
- So let me pay for it. - I can't let you...
Yes... I must!
I'll keep working and send them the money.
Will you wait for me until it's finished?
Yes I will.
As long as we both know where we stand
I'll wait for as long as it takes! Do it for your parents.
And I'll be getting ready to start a new company.
I'm sure nobody from our families will come to the wedding.
I want it to be just the two of us.
You and I will make a life together.
Both Oshin and Ryuzo were ready
to face the wrath of those around them.
Maybe it was people's opposition to their
marriage that had drawn them closer.
That's how it is in youth...
Oshin was 21 and Ryuzo was 27.
It was the spring of Taisho 10 (1921).
