Episode 146
Oshin was to leave the Tanokura house this morning...
Thank you for everything.
Take care of yourself, and send us news.
We can always be of help to you.
And you're welcome to return to us anytime.
No way!
Once she leaves, she is a stranger!
Oshin knows that very well.
She is leaving Yuu here, but she'll always be his mother!
Don't worry about Yuu.
This is from me...
For all the work that you did for us.
- It's not much... - You don't have to...
He says you have been a big help to him.
It'll help, so take it.
I will walk you to the station.
Don't be silly!
She's leaving you, and you still have regrets?
I will be all right. I know the way.
Tsuneko... I'll get going now.
Stay well.
Ryu!
Oshin.
Father gave me some money for you.
Take it!
Please let me know where you will be.
What are you doing, Ryuzo?
You'd better go back inside.
I wish I could see you off...
It's not as if we are parting for good.
We'll see each other again.
Yes...
I guess parting is tough wherever it takes place.
You'd better come and eat. Your mother is upset.
Goodbye.
Ryuzo...
The parting had been but a moment...
Oshin took one last look at the house before she left.
Oshin was waiting for Yuu at Old Gen's grave.
She was waiting for Tsuneko to bring her son.
Are you going out?
Yes, I'm going to visit a sick friend.
I'll be right back.
Poor boy... You're motherless now.
You are wet... I'd better change you!
Oshin...
Tsuneko!
Hurry! I have brought you his clothes, too.
- I'll forever be grateful! - You'd better hurry!
But what will happen to you if you do this?
Don't worry about me.
I'm a mother, too.
If I were leaving, I'd want my kids!
With one's own child, you'll have something to live for.
I envy you...
I could never do what you're doing.
Don't worry about Mother. She has other grandchildren.
Goodbye.
Where's Yuu?
- Didn't you take him? - No.
Otsugi told me that you took him.
Why would I take him?
- Yes, but... - That's just nonsense!
Has something happened to Yuu?
Where were you?
- I went to the fields. - Don't give me that!
You took Yuu to Oshin, didn't you?
Why would I do that? I dislike Oshin.
We hardly ever spoke. You know that.
Then where's Yuu?
- Weren't you watching him? - I went to visit a sick friend.
I couldn't take him with me, so I left him here.
Otsugi and I know nothing of what could've happened to Yuu.
What have you done!
Otsugi is busy, too. She can't watch him constantly.
Where could Yuu go on his own?
That's so strange... I'll go look for him.
- Did Oshin come and take him? - That couldn't be!
She must have! She sneaked in here and took him...
Let's have Ryuzo go after her.
He might be in on it. I'll go see about it myself!
I hope you make it in time.
Perhaps Tsuneko was paying Okiyo back
for the years of frustrations she'd been made to suffer.
Oshin realized again how difficult it was
for the daughter-in-law to live happily.
But she was happy to be able to leave.
You took him, and gave him to Oshin!
I told you, I don't know anything about it!
Wasn't Oshin at the station?
The station people saw her get on the train with a little boy.
How could she have done that! She's digging her own grave!
She can't work with a boy that small.
She knows what she is getting into.
That's how mothers are.
Yuu was so dear to me...
I would have done anything to make him happy...
Now he will have to suffer through life...
Tsuneko.
Did you give Yuu to Oshin?
You're accusing me, too? I don't owe Oshin any favors.
I'm sure Oshin's very happy... I'd wanted her to take Yuu, too.
But I thought it would make things harder for her.
I told you. I don't know anything about it.
If I had done such a thing,
I couldn't live here at this house anymore.
Oshin sure is brave... I'd accepted my lot...
I figured it was the woman's place to suffer.
I never thought about other ways of living.
But Oshin did...
I wish I could have done what she did.
But it's too late for me now...
Both my in-laws are here now...
I see the names Fukutaro, and Tsuneko here, too.
It's my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
They're all gone now...
Tsuneko died without ever leaving this place.
She never knew Tokyo?
She never left the village!
There were many people like that back then.
Harassing daughters-in-law was a common practice?
People just accepted it, and persevered.
But I'd never had in-law problems prior to that.
I guess Mother was just trying to teach me
things as she'd learned herself. Tsuneko learned that way, too.
Too bad for you.
By the time you had daughters-in-law,
the times had changed.
I didn't hassle them because I had such a hard time myself.
But Michiko still resents me. It's harder as one gets older...
But I'm so glad I got to visit their graves...
I feel sorry for Mother
for having gotten such an unworthy daughter-in-law.
Where do we go now?
To where you settled after you left Saga?
I hope it's some place with nice scenery.
Why did you tag along with me anyway?
Oshin had just wanted to leave the Tanokura house.
Where she would settle was yet to be decided.
As she got further away from Saga,
she began worrying about the things to come.
