Episode 168
I'm starving!
I skipped breakfast to get over here.
When I got up, Mother had gone out.
I figured she came here, and I got so worried!
I guess she's getting old... She nags a lot.
I'll make you something. Just relax and enjoy it.
I got a big lecture last night after I got home.
I don't blame her... You go home so late.
Remember, you're the young mistress of Kaga-ya.
But there's nothing for me to do there!
Masao runs Kaga-ya.
Mother doesn't need my help to run the household.
But she says Masao doesn't like the idea
of you being away all day and night.
Don't listen to my mother! Masao understands how I feel.
I hadn't intended on you staying on to help me for so long.
It's my fault.
I come here because I want to.
Working here lets me forget my problems.
It does me good!
And you're a great help to me, too.
But I can't let Kaga-ya's young mistress
work here as a maid forever.
Oshin...
You don't want me here anymore? I've become a burden to you now?
Please think about your husband and family, too.
You talked me into forgetting Kota,
and returning here to Kaga-ya.
I married Masao, too.
I did it all for Kaga-ya.
Now I don't want to do things for anyone else's sake anymore.
I've put up with it until now. Isn't that enough?
From now on, I want to live for myself.
There's not much here for you, but...
I envy you...
You only have Yuu to burden you.
I have the whole Kaga-ya family weighing me down.
You refuse to listen to me?
Let's keep working here together.
We'll save up our profits and expand this place.
Then Ryuzo can come and join us.
You and I can make things work if we do it together!
This looks so good!
Ever since you came to work for us,
I've grown accustomed to your cooking.
I like your cooking more than anyone else's.
Welcome!
Kota! Welcome back!
You sure were gone a long time.
I had to get the sharecroppers organized during their off-season.
We'll negotiate with the landowners at harvest time.
I expect some serious confrontations.
You must be tired.
- Have you eaten? - I've already eaten.
I'd better go.
- Oshin. - Yes?
I found you a job.
What do you mean?
My relatives are in Ise in the Mie prefecture.
They're fishermen,
but they have boats and do business in a big way.
Your job is to sell their catch.
That's being a fish peddler!
I guess it is...
If you can sell the fish cheaply, you'll have regular customers.
And I've also found you a place to live.
The landlord is nice. They will look after you.
Oshin!
Don't tell me you...
Ise is a good place. It's on the seashore.
We have ocean here in Sakata, too!
The winters are warm. It's a good place to live.
It'll be good for Yuu, too.
Please let me think about it.
What is there to think about?
We just managed to get this place going!
There's a big future for us right here.
Tanokura Ryuzo
Closed for the day.
Oshin!
Oshin! Oshin!
You'll be going to Ise?
People will look after us there.
- Ise is where that big shrine is? - Yes.
I visited there once.
I stayed at an inn in Toba near the ocean.
The view was great!
What will you do there?
I'll have to go there and see.
But that's so insecure for you!
A trusted friend has arranged it for me.
Will you be all right in such a strange place?
Oshin can handle herself anywhere. It sounds good.
I hope you're not doing this because of what I told you the other day.
I wasn't telling you to quit the eatery.
I'd only wanted you to talk to Kayo.
You don't have to move away like this.
It's not because of Mrs. Okayo that I'm leaving.
At first I just wanted to serve food,
but I had to also serve sake to keep abreast.
It also caused a lot of problems, too.
Sakata gets a lot of ships,
and the sailors can be awfully rough.
I was worried about you, too.
Thanks to you all, Yuu and I didn't have to starve.
Ise is too far away! You don't have to move that far.
Kayo and I will be so lonely without you.
I can get you a job right here in Sakata.
Why did you close up and come here?
She has come to say goodbye.
She's decided to go to Ise.
I'd been planning to talk to you, too.
I think what I'm about to do is best for me.
Oshin, you...
It was so much fun working with you.
You're leaving because of me?
No. I'm doing it for Yuu and me.
Oshin...
That house is old, too. It should be demolished.
Once Oshin leaves, I'll tear it down.
We can't rent it to people as is.
Father...
Masao needs more warehouse space.
We'll store rice there. Right, Mino?
Yes...
Oshin is leaving behind a thriving business.
We'll have to give her a nice farewell gift.
Mrs. Okayo...
Please do your best as Kaga-ya's young mistress.
That's best for you.
No matter where I am, I'll be praying for your happiness.
I'll come back and see you again.
Please take good care of yourself.
You'll leave tomorrow morning,
and arrive there the evening of the following day.
Okay.
Where's Mrs. Okayo?
She's upset with me...
Too bad. You'll be leaving with regrets.
I feel as if I'm betraying her...
She'll understand one day.
Mrs. Okayo...
I figured Kota would be here, too.
I want the three of us to have a farewell party tonight.
I'm so glad you came.
The three of them had all met in Sakata in their youth,
and each had gone their own way.
And they had all met again in Sakata.
Now they were about to part again so they could each go their own way again.
None of them knew when they'd meet again.
