Ryuzo had committed suicide, the day after the war ended.
It was two days later that Oshin learned of his fate,
and went to identify his body.
Oshin returned home with his ashes.
Dear... We're home.
Don't tell me he's already been cremated!
I wish you could have all been there
to offer him your last farewell...
We couldn't find a car or anybody to bring his body home.
Father...
I'll go and get Tei tomorrow.
What about the funeral arrangements?
They found his body in the mountains...
It was an out of the way place.
He planned on dying quietly...
Where no one would find him.
That's what I think.
He wouldn't want a big funeral.
Tei will be so sad when she finds out...
Tei was his favorite... She was very close to him.
He was selfish!
He'd lived through this terrible war.
Why did he have to waste his life!
What about those of us who are left behind?!
Hatsuko!
Didn't he think of you and Tei?!
Yuu will be so sad when he comes home...
Your father believed that Yuu and Hitoshi were dead...
They say it's easier to die than to live...
He must have been determined to die.
He wanted to die... To be with Yuu and Hitoshi.
That thought is my only consolation.
Maybe the three of them are happy together now.
No!
Yuu and Hitoshi are still alive!
Let's just have a family funeral for him...
We'll keep the suicide a private matter.
I'm sure that's how he would've wanted it.
Oshin, it's me.
Oshin!
Good. You're home.
I have brought my mother with me.
Okiyo...
She insisted on coming.
You fool!
Mother!
What's this about taking responsibility
for cooperating with the war effort!
Your primary responsibility was to your family!
You took the easy way out! You coward!
How will Oshin and Tei make it from now on!
Okiyo...
You're such a coward!
You were afraid of starting anew!
I feel so badly for Oshin...
Okiyo...
I'm very proud of Ryuzo.
There are too many people
who never spoke up against the war while it was going on.
And now that it's over,
they have the nerve to criticize the war.
I'm one of them, too.
I said nothing about Ryuzo's work,
because it was making life better for us.
Only now, do I really hate the war.
I hate the war that took my Yuu and Hitoshi away...
Compared to people such as myself, Ryuzo was great!
He was true to himself until the end.
And he never wavered. He put an end to himself.
I love him for that.
I love him very much.
Much happened in our marriage...
I tried to leave him many times.
But now, I'm glad that I married him.
I was his wife for more than 20 years.
I'm very proud of that fact.
Ryuzo was lucky to have a good wife.
You understand him better than I do.
In his last testament,
he said that meeting you was the best thing to happen to him.
I understand that now...
I'm glad I took the trouble to come.
I won't cry for Ryuzo anymore, but I'm concerned about you now.
Father wants you to come back to Saga with Tei.
You can't get enough to eat here.
Thank you.
But I have Hatsuko and Nozomi to think about.
And I haven't given up on Yuu and Hitoshi.
Until I have proof that they're both dead,
I'll continue to wait for them no matter how long it takes.
And I want to be here for them when they return.
That's how a mother should feel.
Thanks for putting up with Ryuzo for so long.
Thank you very much...
We'll probably never see each other again...
I'm glad I got the chance to thank you.
Okiyo left the next day with a small portion of Ryuzo's ashes.
On August 28th, the occupation forces arrived at Atsugi Field.
The people were all afraid.
Let's have some tea.
Hitoshi...
