Episode 119
The bath was great! I hadn't bathed in days.
Go take one yourself later.
That kimono...
It's my father's. Mother altered it for me.
I'm so thankful to them.
It looks good on you.
I'm glad I'm home!
Mother is bathing Yuu now. She likes him.
She's going to give Yuu Heikichi's old clothes.
I'm glad we're here for Yuu's sake too.
In Tokyo one can't take baths now.
We are preparing a celebration for us.
Hurry up and change.
We're one setting short.
There's one for Ryuzo.
Where is Oshin's?
She is eating separately.
But this is a celebration for both of them!
We must set things right from the start.
But...
Tsuneko has never joined us before either.
Sorry to take so long.
Thank you for letting me rest today.
I was able to get a good sleep.
I washed the diapers myself...
But don't ever make your husband do the wash again!
I always did my own washing even when I was down with a fever!
Mother!
I've put Yuu to bed in my room.
Thank you very much.
Sit down. I'm starving!
She insisted on staying for dinner.
I will be spending the night here too.
You can join Tsuneko. She'll teach you what to do.
Okay.
Hurry Ryuzo!
Women eat after the men. It's different here than in Tokyo.
I understand.
The women bathe last too.
Okay.
I'm sorry I couldn't help in the kitchen today.
I will do my best starting tomorrow.
Please teach me what to do.
Maintaining the house is my job.
Otsugi helps out too...
I can cook as well as anyone.
Cooking is the job for the eldest son's wife.
I don't want you meddling in it.
Mother might scold me if I let you help.
The lesser sons' wives have other tasks to perform.
Thank you for the bath.
Come in here!
Excuse me.
Things here are very different from Tokyo.
You must be surprised.
Remember... I won't treat you as a guest.
If it were just me and my husband I would not grumble.
But Fukutaro is the head of this household
so be sure to mind Fukutaro and his wife.
I understand.
If you plan on staying here with us
you will both have to work. We must be fair to Fukutaro.
I realize that.
Good. Then I'll say no more.
I sure don't want the harmony disrupted here...
That's why I'm acting as the devil's advocate.
I'm so worry to cause you concern.
I'm willing to do all I can here.
I can do people's hair and sew.
You don't need to do that.
You and Ryuzo will both be working in the fields.
We have opened up a new farm plot.
Fukutaro says you two can work it.
It might be hard work for city folk...
But you'll just have to manage.
We'll assign a farm hand to you. So just do as he says.
Yes.
She wants you out in the fields?
You too. Hasn't she told you?
No... I've never worked in the fields.
We had farm hands doing all our work.
I guess my brother does a lot of farming now.
We were big landlords up until my grandfather's days.
But Father failed in many of his business ventures
and had to sell off some of the land.
We aren't as well off as we used to be.
Things must be tough here too.
Mother never complains but Father's got a mistress too.
Good morning.
Can I give you a hand?
Good morning!
Go wash diapers or something.
You'll be too tired when you come back.
I can do your wash too.
Just do your own wash.
Where is the soap?
You will have to use your own soap.
Mother didn't give me money for your soap.
She used half my soap yesterday to wash Yuu's diapers.
She only gives me a very small allowance.
I'm sorry.
This is for you to wear in the fields.
Good morning.
There's one set for Ryuzo too.
Thank you.
I guess we have to give you everything.
Maybe your people back home can send money?
But they provided you with no dowry either.
Too bad you couldn't have come from a better family.
Your mother couldn't do much anyway.
But all mothers love their children.
Eat a lot. Farm work is tough.
For a skinny girl you eat a lot.
I'm not saying you shouldn't. Go ahead and eat.
You'll need the strength.
Thank you. I'm done.
Why is she so upset?
- Kozo. - Yes?
Show them what to do.
I have heard about your troubles in Tokyo.
So it's Kozo!
We used to play together as kids.
You have a wife now?
Her name is Sawa.
- She's so pretty! - She sure is.
Where did you find such a fine wife?
This is my wife.
You will be working in the fields too?
Yes. We're freeloaders.
That's too bad.
I'll be all right in the fields.
I'm Shin. Nice to meet you.
I brought a basket for your baby.
It will be too hard to work while carrying him.
Thank you.
He's so cute!
Oshin was impressed by Sawa's beauty.
And felt good about being with her here in Saga.
She hoped things would be better.
