This is Sumitani Mitso-kun's Mother, Kiyo-san.
Mitsuo's Mother Kiyo
Looks like she's having fun, doesn't it?
Tokiko's Mother Kimiko
Mineko's Mother Miyoko
It's almost time, isn't it?
Right?
I'm here!
Ah, she's come, she's come!
Come in, come in, Kiyo-san!
I brought some bamboo shoots. Everybody have some!
That's great!
You could say they're a Women's Association now. They're having fun, aren't they?
Why would that be, right?
It's a necessity for women, isn't it?
Susumu-kun, Chiyoko-chan and Shigeru-san have gotten dragged into it a bit, haven't they?
We can understand their feelings too, can't we?
Ah, Father-in-law, um, did you want some tea?
No thanks... Kiyo.
Eh?
Is your husband at home?
He was, but he's probably gone off.
From time ta time he'll just go off somewheres or other.
In that case, I'll go over for a bit.
I need to discuss machinery with him.
You do?
Ah, yer just runnin' away, Shigeru-san.
Of course I am! All you guys are gonna do is bad mouth us men, right?
I ain't listening to that!
We won't talk about dat!
Ah, he's gone! Let's cut loose!
Susumu, let's go outside.
What is it, Chiyoko?
It's okay to stay!
It's okay.
Enjoy yourselves.
I was so shocked!
You would be at that.
Still Kiyo-san, is your husband okay with you going out?
Ah, he was grumbling some, but what he don't know won't hurt 'im!
Tralala... tralala... tralala... tralala...
Oi! Even though we've got all dis work...
...yer goin' off ta fer a visit?
I am goin'.
Huh? What are ya sayin'?!
I am goin'. No matter what anyone says, I'm goin'.
Even if you die right here and now, I'm goin'.
Even if ya said ya'd divorce me, of course I'd still go.
Pa... she's serious. Best just ta let her go.
So long!
Tralala... Tralala... Tralala...
Get going.
Like dat!
You're incredible, Kiyo-san.
Yer a revolutionary, Kiyo-san. Ya've started a revolution.
Oh, really? A revolutionary, huh?
I really don't know what dat is, but it makes me happy, happy!
Right?
And? Have ya gotten any letters from yer kids?
I've only gotten da one. Say, say, take a look at it.
I'm fine.
Tokiko
Oh! She's fine, right?!
That's just like Tokiko, isn't it?
Really?
I've totally given up on her.
Ever since she was teeny-tiny, she's had dis strong will...
...and I never have known what ta do 'bout dat girl.
Really?
Yeah.
There was dis once... Right? Dat pit incident.
Ah, that!
Eh? What happened, what happened?!
She had just started goin' ta grade school.
It were then dat she saw a calf bein' born and it was cute...
But as we had no need fer it, we sold it, and afterwards she cried and cried.
It really was cute...
...but since da buyer would be coming at last da next evening ta pick it up...
...she stayed up all dat night a diggin' dis HUGE pit right in da road in front of our house.
It was ta keep da buyer's car from comin' in, she said...
...and was a huge pit, this big!
Ehh! Dat's incredible! Dat child did dat by hand?
Dat's right.
That was something else.
And? What happened next?
'Cause he had business ta go out for first thing in the morning, my husband left and fell into it.
Eh?
If da buyer had come in his car without knowin', dat would have caused a lot of trouble for us!
So it was great dat my husband fell in it!
Um... I kept meanin' ta ask dis, but... Can I, Miyoko?
Huh? What is it?
Since we've been telling stories 'bout our husbands...
...dat's been makin' ya anxious about how yours is doin', ain't it?
After all, Minoru-san did dat, right? Ain't we makin' ya feel anxious?
It's not making me the least bit anxious.
Really?
Oh, yeah!
I've stopped being anxious about him.
Oh, really? I see.
Okay! Kimiko! Go on with yer talk from earlier.
Go on? With what? Ah! With that!
My husband just fell right in it!
He would!
Yer husband just fell in dat pit!
My husband fell right on in!
He fell on in with da manure sacks, too!
Ah, my stomach hurts! My stomach hurts!
And? Any letters from Mitsuo-kun?
Ah, dey've come! Two have come!
He writes very level-headed letters.
"To everyone in the Sumitani family," he'll write...
"I'm doin' well at my job and everyone here is nice and they've given me important work ta do."
"It's very rewarding work," he wrote.
Whaa, that's awesome! That's great, isn't it?
Dat's a splendid thing, ain't it?
It is!
And den when he wrote, "Mom, be careful about yer health"...
...I just cried and cried.
You would, wouldn't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But now, after some time... I'm feelin' suspicious.
Eh?
Dat just can't be.
Der's just no way dey'd give Mitsuo important work like dat so soon.
Something fishy 'bout dat.
And? What 'bout Mineko? Been gettin' letters from her?
Yeah. I've already gotten lots of them.
What's more, me and her Grandpa and Chiyoko and Susumu have each gotten ones.
Mineko's written all sorts of things...
...like 'bout her work at da factory and 'bout what life's like at da dorm.
And, because I hear about all dat from Miyoko...
...dat's why I can feel relieved.
'Cause dis is all I get!
She's a good girl.
She truly is a good girl.
But, I needed her to do it.
Truth is, that girl has been very easy-going and absentminded ever since she was little.
Before I knew it, she'd fall asleep here or there...
So not "Mineko" but just "Cat" is what I really should've called that girl.
(neko)
That's true, isn't it?
Still, when she said she would go out as a migrant worker like her Father...
...I thought that she had gotten a little more level-headed.
And so that's how things went.
She didn't say anything selfish and didn't trouble me about it at all.
And then, ever since Minoru-san hasn't been around...
...that once dim-witted girl...
...is now supporting our family with that little body of hers.
That really makes me cry.
It would.
It's my fault.
She must think it's my fault she can't be free to do what she wants.
Yeah... It is my fault.
What are you saying?!
She ain't thinking no such thing.
Before she went ta Tokyo, she came over ta my house and told me dis.
"The one I love best in this world... is Mom."
"I admire her and long to be like her..."
"...and want to be a Mom just like her."
Her eyes were sparklin' when she said dat.
Is that true?
Yeah, it's da truth.
Yeah...
I can't even imagine it somehow...
Dat those kids of ours are in Tokyo, working.
Just tryin' ta imagine it grips my heart in pain somehow.
Whenever I see dat some incident or other has happened in Tokyo...
...like a train accident or something, my breath will grow all short and painful.
True, right?
Anyhow, I hope nothing bad happens ta those kids.
I don't want those kids ta feel sad.
No! No we don't!
If we could, we'd switch places with 'em, wouldn't we?
I would!
Right? We would...
Hey! Is it okay... Is it okay...
...if I just cry as hard as I can?
Go ahead and cry, Miyoko!
WHAA!
Miyoko! Miyoko...
Kiyo-san! Kimiko!
Mineko!
C'mon, let's eat. We can't let this go to waste.
Right? Can't let it go to waste.
Let's eat so it doesn't go to waste.
Oh my, seems the Ookuibaraki Women's Association will run on for some time to come yet.
1965/Showa 40 - July
And now the season has turned to Summer.
Sumiko, be sure to concentrate.
Dad...
It's been three months since I came to Tokyo.
The Tokyo Summers are hot, aren't they?
Dad, are you getting through this Summer?
I'm a bit poor with Tokyo Summers...
There aren't any cooling breezes from the mountains here...
Switch off!
Yes.
Ah... It's so hot...
I'm exhausted!
Mineko-san, you're no longer making any mistakes at all in your work, are you?
I suppose.
You can do it. You've been working hard, haven't you?
Sorry 'bout this, but I'm aiming to take your spot.
Oh! You're looking serious about that, Mineko.
Even though she had an inferiority complex at first.
Don't bring that up anymore.
"Sorry... it was me..."
There was such a time, wasn't there?
Toyoko, best watch out and work hard.
What are you saying?
I'm fine with being where I am forever.
You need to be a bit more ambitious about improving yourself.
That's just a pain in the butt.
Huh?
Dad... I'm sorry...
I feel the times that I think about you...
...are decreasing.
I'm sorry.
Is it that...
...I don't want to see you anymore?
What's the matter, Mineko?
Huh? Nothing.
Let's go in.
Yeah.
Ah... I'm starving. I want to eat some iced noodles.
I'm not hungry.
Me, either.
