Episode 189
After Kayo's sudden death,
Oshin returned home to Ise with Kayo's son, Nozomi,
and the ashes of Kayo and Kayo's parents.
Ryuzo...
I'm sorry I acted on my own.
You needn't apologize to me.
I know I should have asked you first,
if I could bring Nozomi here with me.
And the ashes of Miss Okayo and her parents, too.
It's only natural that we take Nozomi in.
You and Okayo were like sisters.
And you owe the Kaga-ya family a lot.
It's your job to care for their ashes.
But I never expected Okayo to end up like this...
I have a responsibility to raise Nozomi.
I know that.
From the day you told me about finding Okayo,
I'd expected to take them both in with us.
So don't worry.
We'll both work harder.
Raising another child won't be a problem!
For kids, the more siblings they have the better.
They'll fight, but also help each other grow up.
I'll start calling him just Nozomi.
I'm his father now. I'll not defer to him.
So be the same way, too.
It's great... Now we have three boys!
We should be grateful.
When will you go to Sakata?
Shouldn't you bury them in their family plot?
I want to bury them at a temple here.
I think they all want to be near Nozomi.
They'll want to watch over him as he grows up.
And Nozomi could visit their graves, too.
Yes, but...
When Nozomi is older, I'll tell him everything.
And we could have them reburied in Sakata then.
I guess you're right.
We'll raise Nozomi to be a great merchant.
Then he could one day rebuild the Kaga-ya business.
Then I can finally repay my debt to Kaga-ya...
Yes. We'll do our best to raise Nozomi well!
Whose grave is this?
I owe these people a great debt.
What are their names?
You don't know them. I'll tell you when you're older.
Pray to them, Nozomi.
Where are you?
Did we keep you waiting? We'll open up right away.
You didn't come to buy fish today, so I got worried.
Didn't you tell people we were closing for the day?
I didn't think I had to.
It was so busy in the morning that I didn't have time to talk.
I thought something had happened!
Whose boy is this?
You didn't tell Hisa about him either?
Is that what happened? Why didn't you say something?
I didn't want you to worry about Oshin.
You were coming to buy fish every morning
leaving the kids here by themselves?
I made it a point to be back before Yuu left for school.
You even put up a headstone for them.
I used the ¥100 Kota had entrusted to me for Okayo.
Kota had a relationship with this Okayo?
He was Miss Okayo's first love.
And they lived together for a time in Tokyo.
Is that right?
I thought you were the only one that he loved.
Oh, come on...
I guess she's not a stranger to me either.
I'll go to visit her grave next time.
Any word from Kota?
Not a word. I don't know where he is.
He might even be in prison!
The police are arresting a lot of union people.
I'm sure Kota knows what he is doing.
The poor suffer the most in this bad economy.
Somebody has to help them.
The fish peddlers are all complaining of poor sales.
I guess you are not suffering yet,
but you now have one more child to care for.
We will need two of everything now.
Since they're the same age,
we'll have to take care not to hurt the other's feelings
by treating them equally.
Even if we're very fair to them,
Nozomi is bound to find out things when he gets older.
But until then, we'll have to do our best.
Let me know if I can be of any help.
So this is my great grandmother's grave.
Okayo is my real grandmother.
I'm sure your father would've told you about her one day.
But it would've been hard for him to tell you.
Their ashes are still in here?
Your father took the ashes for reburial in Sakata.
But since your father has a kiln here,
he left a part of the ashes here at this site.
He comes here often to pay his respects.
So Okayo was her name...? She had a difficult life...
Father doesn't resemble her at all.
Oh yes, he does!
His stubbornness comes from his mother.
Nozomi sure gave me a hard time...
My father?
Just remember that he was young once, too.
He quietly turns his pottery now, but in the end...
he didn't do what I wanted him to.
As a child, he held the same dreams I did.
He's never told me any of that.
I feel now that he's lived his own life.
You'd better go on home now. Your father must be so worried.
I've already told you about Okayo.
What about you?
I still have things to think about.
Then I'm not going home.
I want to hear more about my father. It's okay, isn't it?
Times got very difficult in Japan from that time on.
The year I took Nozomi in...
That's when the Manchurian Incident began,
and it led to years of terrible warfare.
We never dreamed it would lead to
Japan's total defeat 15 years later...
- Oshin. - Yes?
The Kwangtang Army has made its move in Manchuria!
- Is it war? - Well...
I think the economy needs a good war.
We need to get out to Manchuria.
I hope it doesn't grow into a full-scale war...
It's just a skirmish.
It's probably just Japan asserting itself.
Sometimes war is the only option.
