Recently,
I came to think...
...about the town of Hanaori and also you, Sensei.
Am I a Jizo?
I'm afraid you'll say that.
Thank you for helping me.
No problem.
Sensei too.
Good morning.
Ah...
Sorry for coming here suddenly.
I am surprised.
I wonder why...
...did you come to this place.
Were you surprised?
- Here you go. - Well.
You didn't come for my medical examination, right?
Right.
If I come here on Thursday morning, I won't be able to examine you in the clinic in time.
But today, I left Yokohama unexpectedly early.
Yokohama?
Yes.
Apart from the consultation day at the Hanaori Clinic,
I work as part-time at...
...a general hospital in Yokohama.
Is that so?
Your wife must be also lonely...
...when visiting here and going to Yokohama.
No, I have no wife.
I am divorced...
- Ah. I'm sorry. - It's okay.
That is...
So what is it for today?
I want to show you that...
What is that?
The other day, you told me about the story of Hanaori-san.
Right! Please wait for a moment!
However, it is a building with a nice atmosphere.
Was this originally the home of Fujio Harajima?
Yes.
At first, he used it as a villa,
but last year, he moved from Tokyo and lived there.
I see.
Most of the bookshelves and books...
...are kept as they were.
However, what's that book...
...above Harajima's?
That is...
There is a ladder.
That's the one.
Ah.
I see.
No matter how big the man is, he won't be able to reach it.
But you have arrived here.
Eh? Am I a big man?
Ah. I'm sorry. I don't mean it that way...
Yukimura-san, are you also using the ladder?
Yes.
But,
I'm a little scared to climb because my legs have become weak.
Then, please call a large man...
...when it's necessary.
Yukimura-san, you look fine.
Well, yes.
Thanks to you, Sensei.
How was it then?
I'm spending no particular problems.
From time to time,
I'm able to stabilize myself.
Is that so?
There are other works written about the town of Hanaori.
- There's a collection of essays around here... - No. No... Not now.
I'll be back and read those later.
It would be nice if you could make a copy of it by then.
Sometime soon?
Yes. So I can read it more slowly.
Well then, with this...
When will it be?
That is...
There are some documents that I still can't understand,
so I'll be looking for it by then.
I'll call a taxi for you.
Hello. This is from the Harashima Memorial Hall. 1 please.
Sensei!
This is my phone number.
Please contact me in advance,
just in case...
...you need a copy of it.
I understood.
Then.
Well...
Where's that hospital in Yokohama...
...where you are working?
Yokohama Green Medical Center.
(Monroe Ga Shinda Hi / The Day Monroe Died)
(Episode 2, Love of Light and Shadow)
Ah. Wait... Well.
Dear customer.
This upcoming-season clothing is also nice.
Really?
I have not been shopping recently, so I do not know well.
Your skin is white and you look neat.
It matches your style.
Here it is...
Hanaori-san.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Are you open now?
I'm sorry about that. Yes, of course.
Well, would you like me to guide you here?
Then, please.
Let's go here.
- Look. Look. - Wait a minute...
- Nice!~ - We really arrived here.
Here is the villa of Fujio Harashima! I feel that this is that building.
Really nice. It is perfect for the image of Harajima.
- Welcome. I have been waiting for you. - Oh. Thank you very much!
I'm sorry I was late though I was supposed to come here at 2 o'clock.
No. It doesn't matter at all.
This hall is surrounded with Osaka magazines.
This trip is just for sightseeing.
So from the beginning, I decided to come to this magnificent memorial hall.
But this woman is just chanting at a store that sells goods on sale.
I'll go and explore this area with my enthusiastic cousin.
Wait, I don't think so. You're such a frustrating leader.
- I did not do it for a while. - Please take a moment to relax.
Hello.
this is Yukimura-san's cell phone, right?
This is Takahashi.
This is Dr. Takahashi of Hanaori Clinic.
Sensei. Thanks for calling. Hello.
Ah. Hello.
That is... I'm going to meet you today.
Is it just fine with you?
Of course, please come and see me.
The hall will close at 4 o'clock.
I hope to see it as soon as possible.
Please do not mind.
If you will come in, I will be waiting for you and open this hall anytime.
I will hurry to avoid any inconvenience on your part.
See you later.
See you.
This desk is actually the one that Harajima used regularly.
- He was working hard to write some things here. - It's great to know~
Yes. Yes.
Everyone, shall we take some pictures?
Is that fine?
I would like to refrain that here in the building, but it does not matter if it's just a table.
Sensei!
I'm sorry, I'm late.
Welcome to this place.
You have a lot of sightseers today.
That's right. Well, can you wait for a moment? Here you go.
No, it doesn't matter. I'll just look around here.
- Well, excuse me. - Yes!?
- The back room is on the second floor, right? - Yes, you may go there.
I want to take a picture, so let me borrow the camera.
Photo? Oh, that's right.
Shall we ask the caretaker here to take a photo for us?
Stand in the middle.
Can't stand in the middle?
I will take one now. Please look here.
Oh, I closed my eyes. One more time. One more time.
Yes, I understand. Then, say cheese.
I will go to the outlet again~
Here you go.
Thanks.
It was...
- ...really a busy day for you. - Thanks for the concern.
I was nervous because I was just familiar with Harajima.
It was...
...a great pleasure to see...
...Yukimura-san who was really lively this time.
Please stop flattering me.
Ah.
Right.
That is...
Here.
Thank you so much.
Ah, this one.
This would have been difficult to find.
No, not at all. I think there are more things I haven't mentioned about Hanaori.
It is fun to look for.
You climbed on that ladder and looked for this, right?
Yes, I was strangely surprised.
Thank you very much.
Then, I will read this.
Ah.
By the way,
The other day, back in Yokohama, I walked in a park along a mountain stream...
...and found something like an old stone tower.
Is it a stone tower?
Becuase it is Harajima...
...who loved the town of Hanaori,
so it may also be written here.
I wonder what was that thing.
Not a Jizo?
It is not in the form of a person.
It is not a flat monument,
unlike the lanterns.
Should I say a rectangular stone box...
...with a small tiled roof on it?
It has been there for a long time.
Ah. I think that's the water god's shrine.
Water god?
Yes. The god of water.
It is common for living water, rivers and other water forms.
To protect the residents from river floods,
it may have been put in place there.
Where was it located?
Shall we go there now?
Shall we go?
Ah. Over there.
As expected.
This is the wolf that has been scolded by the water god.
Oh, I see.
The copy I received earlier did not have this description.
So, you didn't notice Harajima Fujio too, is it?
Sensei, you understand it well.
Sensei, what do you do when you're off duty?
Unfortunately, when it comes day-offs, there's almost nothing.
I have a lot of things to do which I have to finish.
Ah. It must be difficult doing research regarding society.
It must be a serious matter. Don't you think you need to rest for a while?
If you go out of your office,
you will soon forget that you are a doctor.
It depends on the time and circumstances.
Well, that's right.
A psychiatric doctor...
...is always listening to the pain...
...and sadness of various patients.
I wonder if I can go to that place.
I'm embarrassed that you need to listen stories...
...day until night from a troublesome patient like me.
Certainly, the psychiatrist's suicide rate may be high.
It must be a tedious job.
It seems that you analyze me all the time.
Ah.
I'm sorry.
- I like what I understood... -No, don't mind it.
Although I'm having a hard time everyday, I am...
I just want you to ask a lot,
but I just talk about myself,
- and I'm sorry for that. - No.
I knew that you would like to talk to me a lot of your experiences in life.
But with you,
like this,
I enjoy spending my time...
...with you.
Same for me too.
I am looking forward for you to come to Hanaori on Wednesday.
I'm glad of it.
If you are not bothered,
from time to time,
can you meet us there?
Sure. I'm glad of that.
Before I return to Yokohama this week,
if it's okay with you,
would you like...
...to have dinner with me on Saturday night?
Sure.
Right? Such high-quality wine.
I got it from my customer.
I'm thinking of drinking this with you.
You should drink that with your husband.
Do you like to drink alcohol?
He's just got drunk and I don't know what it tastes like, so it's wasteful.
Even if it's a meal, it's fine if you're stomach get upset.
I'm envious of you.
Why do you think so?
Every day I just look at that funny face.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
How long... have you lost your husband?
8 years.
It's about time, right?
Eh?
You should try to find someone who will be your husband.
What a substitute...
But Kyoko-san,
you look totally fine and relieved.
- Thanks to you. - After all, Dr. Takahashi is a great doctor.
Aren't you even in love?
What are you saying? Stop it!
No...?
Won't you say it? Who is who?
Could it be, Sensei?
That's why, it's not easy to say it.
You don't have to hide so much from getting excited.
If so, I will take care of everything. Well, It's a small town.
Good evening.
I'm sorry that you need to pick me up.
Would it be better to go a little further from the clinic?
No.
Sensei,
are you sure you have nothing to ask?
What would that be?
Doctor and patient...
Do you... often meet outside with your patients like this?
There is what we called psychiatrist's rule...
...that we should not meet with a patient outside the premise,
except in the examination room, no matter what happens.
After all...
But,
Yukimura-san, you're completely relieved.
You're not my patient anymore.
So please do not worry about it.
Certainly, there are a lot of doctors who finds it hard to follow it.
Indeed,
in that perspective, I may not be happy.
Just before she died,
it was the same as that psychiatrist...
...who used to see Monroe...
...without distinction from public and private matters.
Marilyn Monroe? Who is Marilyn Monroe?
Did Marilyn Monroe... have a psychiatrist exclusively for herself?
Even in the private room,
she often called him and...
...complained of anxiety and they were...
...traveling back and forth between each other's homes.
"There is no one who really sees me."
"However,"
"I just closed my eyes."
Monroe, which was loved all over the world,
was more alone than anyone else.
"There is always a back and front..."
"...in one's story."
This was...
also said by Monroe.
Sometimes,
she thought of...
...what she...
...would have done if she was...
...an exclusive female psychiatrist.
I was interested in...
...her mental perspective since I was young.
Did you possibly become a psychiatrist because of that?
No. That's not the reason...
"What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course."
This is just the connotation from Monroe...
...that I only know.
I've been thinking for a while,
but there are a lot of women named Kyoko,
but those who use the word "Kagami" seems unusual.
I...
...hated my name for a long time.
Why?
"Be a child..."
"...who can reflect anything in the world like a mirror."
This is what my mother said.
But the word "Kagami" is all that...
like "Hibi"...
...which means broken.
It reminds me...
...that kind of thing.
I see.
I also thought...
...that one day,
I would break up with Parin...
...and break it into pieces.
I didn't heard about that during the examination.
There may still be many...
...which I don't know about you.
I'm just fine...
...if I'm getting older...
...slowly by slowly.
Having a quiet life leads to...
...a stable mind for you, Yukimura-san.
Right.
My friend in the same age...
...has a family and has already a grandchild.
But I think so again...
...recently that...
"I am myself."
It is a lie.
I'm sorry.
Lie?
If I calmly say...
...that "I am myself",
it must not make sense at all.
Are you...
...lonely now?
I think so.
But...
...I feel lonely...
...or a bit indifferent.
If it gets tough, I'll go to your place.
I should get in touch with you.
With that, it makes my heart feel light.
Is that so?
That was good...
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
- How are you now? - I'm just fine.
But...
Even though you have a family,
there are people who are lonely.
Thank you for sending me to the station.
It's fine.
I have fun today.
Me too.
Ah!
I'm sorry!
Well...
Good night.
Ah.
I'm going back now.
Okay. Well then.
Thank you very much the other day. How about having dinner together soon?
It may be difficult for a while.
When will I meet you next time~?
What are you doing?
What is Hanaori Town?
What are you going to do?
Calm down.
After all, there is no one who really cares of me!
- That's not it. - I told you to only see me!
Am I worthless for you?
What are you saying?
I was the best... You said I'm the most important, right?
Oh, I said that.
You're the best.
You're the most important.
Don't go anywhere.
I will not go anywhere.
I used to bother you in the hospital before.
And I'm really sorry for that as I was selfish.
No. It doesn't matter at all.
Let's close for this day.
About that day...
...please discuss it with your husband slowly.
Did you have something?
No.
What does your husband think...
...when you see me now?
I am sad to be alone.
I want to rely on someone instead of my husband.
There are times when you think that way.
I think it's wonderful to have someone who wants to rely on you.
Someone who can count on you...
...from the bottom of his heart. Meet the other person in life.
Though it doesn't happen many times in life.
That's great!
Next Wednesday, if you like to,
would you like to visit the cemetery?
It's my husband's death anniversary.
It is a very scenic place.
Since my husband got sick,
I have been taking care of him by myself.
I have no children,
nor a husband now,
nor I have any parents.
My husband's family is only what I have.
I always thought so...
...that I have to do well.
You may really have...
...wanted to be someone.
If everyone lives, the burden will increase rapidly.
It's natural that you can not carry it alone.
Thank you for your time today.
Wouldn't it be nice for someone like me to come with you?
Have you not been warned by your husband?
There is no such thing.
You are my benefactor.
I think my husband is also grateful.
I am glad to see you...
...this happy.
That is, Sensei... Do you have any plans after this?
No, there is nothing in particular.
If it is...
If so, why not visit me? I would be grateful if you eat with me today.
Well.
I will disturb you for a while.
You are liked not only by patients... but also by cats.
Tobi-chan, I'm a good boy.
Will you be friends with me?
Sensei.
Toby... is here.
Ah. How rude of me not knowing him.
Wow~ You have a really nice home.
It's very cozy.
It is an old house made with woods.
Life in these places is like a dream compared to Yokohama,
which is crowded with many people.
It's quiet,
there's fresh air,
The starry sky is also beautiful...
...like it's another world.
But,
If I live in such a place alone,
even if heart stops in the middle of the night,
no one will be able to notice it.
Here you go.
Ah. Sorry.
Ah. This is...
...another great feast!
- Sensei... are you fine with beer? - Yes.
To your husband.
Cheers.
- That's it. I'll enjoy this. - Go ahead.
Yukimura,san, so you always like delicious homemade food?
As I only make and eat it alone, so I'm out of hands to ask for help.
Today, I tried to put my best with this more than usual.
I give up.
I really give up.
I am very happy that you said it that way.
But it seems like I'm trying to draw a man's attention by cooking...
Ah… Living alone is getting longer. What I'm thinking...
...just comes out of my mouth.
Please do not ask me about that.
Yukimura-san, you're honest and fun to chat with.
Well. That is also your best characteristic.
I'm glad for that.
I also liked my husband.
Sweet potato.
Ah. Is that so?
There is a very delicious sweet potato shop...
...just a few steps from the station in Karuizawa.
I se..
It's a very popular shop.
I have been asked to buy those often times for my husband.
- 30 minutes from the morning. - 30 minutes...
Your husband must be pleased.
That... made me angry.
Eh?
My husband's home is in a small field,
and the sweet potato there has just an ordinary taste.
So, I said,
"Are you giving me 600 yen for such a small sweet potato?"
Oh. That's an unexpected reaction.
And I came to realized it.
So, on the next day,
I bought too much for my husband and gave him some excess supply of beef.
It's barely before the expiration date.
No, that's a lie.
Actually,
it was beyond the expiration date.
Sensei...
You mentioned last time.
"Even though you have a family, there are people who are lonely."
Yes.
If you have a person whom you value most,
you will want to be deeply connected.
And if you're not satisfied,
don't you think you won't be hurt?
I also...
...feel loneliness though I have a happy memory...
....with my husband.
But if you go back, you feel lonely.
That means that you have...
...a memory of loving someone who really loves you.
I wonder what I'm blabbering about right now.
I will be saved.
For example,
when I can't breathe...
...and struggles to survive...
...from the deep water,
you will be able...
...to save me and rise me up to the water's surface.
You can realize...
...that it is just that way.
I am...
...a person who has failed in marriage.
I am the lowest human being...
...who has caused my loved ones to go mad.
I thought...
...I was not qualified...
...to love someone again.
I'm sorry.
I have lived for a long time.
I'll call a taxi for you.
Hello. I would like to call for a taxi.
Yes.
This is Yukimura from west of Hanaori Town.
I guess it's here now.
I want to see you...
...again next week.
Sir, do you work now?
This is not good.
Patients will appreciate...
...their doctors when their body and mind are cured.
But in fact,
what a doctor can do is limited,
and the patient has only stood up with his own power.
There is always a back and front in one's story.
However,
what is it's front and it's back?
Where should that person go?
When that person...
...didn't totally know someone at all?
What's wrong?
The tea...
...is here.
Okay.
Look~
Hatsuhanajima...
You're right.
Let's go.
