Episode 87
Ryuzo and Oshin were finally settled in.
Oshin wasn't taking on any more new clients.
And she was trying more to help out
with the business while learning more about it.
I know I shouldn't be butting in on the family business
but it's part of my job as a wife to know how the business is doing.
Who knows when I might have to take over for you two.
So if I don't know anything
it won't go over well with the clients.
Of course.
I'd been meaning to teach you a little bit at a time.
You needn't worry.
I wouldn't worry if we were living on a set income.
But we're a business for ourselves so our money isn't guaranteed.
Right.
Does my husband own this lot and building?
We lease the land.
The house and store was built with money from his family.
It's under his name.
Then we don't pay rent.
Is this the expenses for the month?
Yes. We don't include the household expenses.
We didn't make enough last month to cover expenses.
We've been selling
but the money hasn't been collected for the last six months.
We can't be harsh in our collection
or take back the merchandise. That's bad for business.
We need our retailers!
It's the economy... It's live and let live.
I'm home!
Welcome home.
I have a French cake for you.
That's so extravagant!
I got it for you. At least seem happy about it.
Thank you. Let's make tea and enjoy some.
Someko is here to see you.
- Someko? - Yes.
Have her come in.
What does she want?
Come on in.
Sorry to barge in on you.
It could've waited until Oshin came by to do our hair
but we thought you should be told personally.
What is it?
We're having a party to celebrate your wedding.
It's next Wednesday night at our café Athena.
Our manager says we can have it for the night
since Wednesdays are the slowest. So we decided it on our own.
- Is it all right? - It's okay with me.
Each guest will be charged.
It will be people who are willing to pay to help you celebrate.
Thanks. Good thing I got Oshin a new kimono.
It's a long-sleeve one with a fancy obi too.
How gorgeous...
Just like the business owner you are!
Oshin you sure are lucky. You get to live in luxury.
It's true what they say...
A woman's happiness is a good man.
I envy you.
I'd better go see some of our guests.
Stay and have some cake.
No more sweets for me! You're both too sweet for me.
We'll see you later.
Thank you.
She's always so cheerful.
Ryuzo...
Is it true you ordered a kimono for me?
Yes.
You don't seem to have any fancy ones
and I wanted you to have one that I picked out.
Thank you but our business isn't making any money.
Who told you we were in trouble?
This is my business.
I made it what it is.
I have my own ideas as to how it should be run.
I don't let Gen say a word
and don't need a woman telling me what to do?
Thank you all for coming.
As the hostess I'd like to welcome you all.
Most of us are the top waitresses in this town.
And we'll celebrate our favorite former customer Ryuzo!
Ryuzo!
It's to celebrate his wedding.
But we'll have fun with the bride and groom.
Here's our manager who is letting us use his café for free!
Let me make a toast to the bride and groom.
Best wishes to the Tanokuras!
Congratulations!
Thank you.
I'll be the first to dance with you.
- I'm next! - And I'm next!
You'll have to let us have him tonight.
Then we will never bother him again.
Go right ahead.
They're leaving you all alone!
I'm happy to have a popular man for a husband.
Without you he would've spent all his money on girls!
But the way our business is going
he doesn't have any money to spend on women and wine.
This is fine. Take good care of him.
I'm going to drink too.
I want some sake or shochu spirits!
Welcome!
What a fine party!
Thank you both for coming. Please have a seat.
Someko invited us.
Thanks for coming over the other day.
Thank you.
I didn't tell you the other day because Mr. Tanokura was with you
but I'm thinking of selling my salon and moving to the country.
Why?
I don't want to have to do Western-style hair.
Then get someone who can
and you can keep doing the Japanese-style.
Don't close the salon.
It's too hard to find a good hairdresser to help me.
I wish I could help but...
A businessman's wife can't help me.
You have bigger and better things ahead of you.
What's going on here?
Congratulations.
Oshin was so happy to see Genemon enjoying himself at their party.
He'd been against her marrying Ryuzo
but he was their biggest supporter now.
She wanted to be sure that they never betrayed his trust.
Oshin danced with Ryuzo for the very first time.
She didn't know how to dance
but she was happier than she'd ever been in her whole life.
She wanted this happiness to last forever.
Excuse me.
What's wrong?
I need to talk to your husband.
He's had a lot to drink. Tell me instead.
One of our biggest retailers is about to go under!
They're bankrupt?
They might go under any day now.
What about what they owe us for all the fabric?
That's what I'm worried about!
I see.
Get some movers together tonight
so we can get our fabrics out of there before the other creditors!
But...
There's no time to wait for my husband
or Genemon to get sober. We need to act now.
But...
I will go too. Get all our men together.
We need all the help we can get. Please contact everybody.
Okay.
We'll all meet at 6:00 tomorrow morning.
All right.
All the gaiety seemed to fade.
The fears Genemon expressed were coming true.
Thanks to Avallac'h and XrayMind at D-Addicts.
