Episode 184
The day after Oshin brought her ailing mother home to Yamagata,
happy to be back home, Fuji passed on.
This house, without her mother,
no longer held any meaning for Oshin.
She was now bidding farewell to this house so full of memories.
Grandma...
Father...
Mother...
The journey back to Ise was a sad one for Oshin.
- One, two, three... - One, two, three...
Welcome home!
I'm home! Have you been good?
- Yeah. - Where's Hitoshi?
He's asleep.
Mother is home!
You're back early.
Never mind the formalities. Go, and see Hitoshi.
I brought him home so you could see him
when I heard you were coming home today.
Your mother is home!
He missed his mother...
Thanks to you, I was able to take Mother back home to Yamagata.
I'm glad. I'm sure she was happy, too.
I wish she could've been with us longer.
I wanted to do so much more for her.
She was able to see you, and her two grandchildren.
She died happy.
There's nothing more you could have done.
So don't lose heart.
You're home?
Sorry I couldn't come to the station.
I had to make deliveries.
You had a tough time...
But you did your best.
Don't cry. Yuu is getting worried.
It was that sudden...?
She said she wanted to see the snow...
She was from the snow country...
I'd wanted to invite people for a funeral,
but my brother said it would be too costly.
It would just be a waste.
Even one's sibling can be such a stranger...
Now I have no home to return to. I'll never go back there again.
Home is where you are, with Yuu and Hitoshi.
Don't resent your older brother.
The economy is bad. 300,000 workers are out of jobs.
If he had more money, he'd be nicer, too.
The lack of money can change a person.
We have some customers that can't pay us this year.
We'll manage somehow.
But we can't sell fish if people have no money.
I'm sorry. My mother caused you big expenses.
Never mind. It's your duty to do all you can for your parents.
Next year, we'll try to be more thrifty.
I never want Yuu or Hitoshi to suffer like I did.
I'll work hard.
We can make up for the loss of profits by dealing in volume.
I will buy the fish, and I'll go peddling like before.
We won't sell on credit anymore.
Just cash. In exchange, we'll offer better prices.
I was only stating things in principle.
I only have you and the kids now.
I'll do anything to keep my family together.
I'll do my best!
The only thing is... I saw Oriki back in Yamagata.
She said Kaga-ya was in financial trouble.
Is it connected to this bad economy?
Big businesses like Kaga-ya shouldn't be affected.
You're right.
Theirs isn't just a tiny fish store.
I'm glad we're a tiny fish store.
To work each day, and be able to eat.
What more could one ask for?
You sure aren't greedy.
I've never wanted luxuries.
I just want this life of ours to continue like this.
It was now 1930,
and Japan was feeling the effects of a world-wide deflation.
But the world still seemed peaceful for Oshin.
She was happy that her family of four could stay together,
and live in relative comfort.
We'll see you!
I got in some mackerel. We can dry all the leftovers.
Did you get what I asked for?
Sea bream is too expensive, I didn't get it.
I wanted to make kasuzuke to send to Saga.
There's no hurry for that.
Your parents look forward to getting fish from us!
I'll get you some when the prices come down.
You have to be good to your parents
while they're still around, or you'll regret it.
Let's eat.
I got a letter from Miss Okayo.
She sent us ¥10 to put something on Mother's altar.
That's a lot.
I had to tell them... But I feel better.
Nozomi is doing well, too.
All Miss Okayo wrote about is Nozomi.
I guess she's very happy.
I never expected her to be a contented mother.
She's taken many twists and turns, but she's happy.
It's already been 10 years...
I guess Kaga-ya's in good hands.
On the day Yuu finished his first year in school...
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
- I'm home. - Welcome home.
I got my report card.
Let's see...
- Look at this. - Let me see.
You got good grades!
We don't teach you anything at home.
See, it's best to do one's learning in school.
You'll keep studying so that you can go to middle school,
high school, and even to college!
I'll do all I can to get you through school!
He just finished his first grade.
I couldn't even go to school myself.
I want my son to be able to study as much as he wants.
I don't care. I just want him to be healthy.
Go out, and play.
- Be careful out there. - Okay.
You're such a doting parent. What will you be like later?
- Tanokura! - Yes?
- Here's your mail. - Thank you.
Our letter to Miss Okayo has been returned.
That's strange...
Did you get the address right?
It's the same as before.
Ryuzo. Ryuzo!
Kaga-ya's Young Master killed himself!
It says so in Oriki's letter!
Miss Okayo's husband?
She says she doesn't know much, but she thought she'd let me know.
Is that why the letter came back?
That's ridiculous! I'm sure Kaga-ya is all right.
Even if the young master killed himself.
Maybe something has happened to Kaga-ya.
Then Okayo would have written to you.
Just wait for word from her.
Oshin had a bad premonition.
Oshin was afraid...
Perhaps Kaga-ya had met its demise with Kayo's husband's suicide.
