Has it been long since you arrived, aunt?

No, just five minutes.

Where is your father?

At home working...

I will have redone that article
a hundred times since yesterday.

Look, I found the pants
of your uncle all moth-eaten.

Can you make them again for Kazuyoshi?

But for such a small child
I don't find striped trousers suitable.

But it doesn't matter, just cut them.

Of course, it shouldn't be difficult.

I was really counting on it.

Have you already brought them?

Look, he will destroy them immediately,
Don't waste too much time on it.

Put two patches on our butts.

I was waiting for her at the station,
I imagined she would come.

I missed the usual train.

Sorry for the long wait.

We can start now.

Do you have rubber?

Ah, here it is!

F R I E D R I C H L I S T

Without the zeta, right?

L I S T

Certain...

Liszt with a z was the musician,
read what he says.

He was born in 1811, died in 1886.

Reading the light,
can I see the counter?

Please have a seat.

Can you lend me a stool?

Where is he?

In the hallway, right
under the stairs, thanks.

Oh, thanks.

Professor, List sounds like it
A self-made man, right?

Yes, however he has become
one of the most famous economists in the world.

And he was also a man
who hated bureaucracy.

It's 300 KW,
where do I leave the bill?

Thanks, leave it there.

With this one I gave her
what page are we on?

Twelve or thirteen, I think.

Really?

It means we have some
six or seven more.

I'm back.

Oh, Mr. Hattori, you're here too.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Do you copy it for him? How kind!

- Saves me the trouble.
- It's a pleasure.

How is the aunt?

Yes, but she came home straight away.

- Can you make us some good tea?
- Of course.

Mr. Hattori, stay
with us tonight, right?

Thanks, but I can't stay too long.

please stay like this tomorrow morning
let's go to Tokyo together.

In Tokyo? What do you have to do?

I have to go to the hospital.

And then we need new collars
for your shirts.

By the way, professor, you know
that we miscalculated

about the mah-jong game the other night?

Ah, but then we were 16 to 8, right?

Sure, but that's how I won.

Noriko!

- Is Mr. Sei at home?
- Why?

Come on and see if he's there,
so we play mah-jong.

But have you finished yet?

Yes, almost, we're almost there.

Then no mah-jong.

Listen! At least bring us tea.

My manuscript
you haven't forgotten it?

I got it, don't worry.

You are tired?
Do you want to sit down for a while?

No thank you.

Will you come back at the usual time tonight?

Yes, unless there is
the faculty meeting.

Be careful, please.

Professor Honodera,
When did he arrive in town?

Only yesterday morning.

You've gained weight, you know?

- Really?
- Just a little'.

Where are you going?

Going shopping.

Do you want me to accompany you?

Did you have no commitments?

- No, I'm free now.
- How beautiful!

Look, an antiques exhibition.
Shall we take a look?

But first I should buy
machine needles.

OK let's go!

Did you get tired at the exhibition, Noriko?

No, on the contrary, she pleased me.

It's been a long time since I came to Ueno.

But you know, things for sure
they have changed.

But it's a shame, it's not anymore
the Ueno of yesteryear.

You noticed that child he was looking for
to hit the pigeon on the statue?

Maybe he thought he was William Tell!

Sorry for the wait.

Professor Shigeno was here last night.

Can you tell me if he's still in town?

He said he was leaving
with this morning's espresso.

Oh, too bad.

You know, this is the daughter
by Professor Somiya.

Who would have thought?
She's grown up now.

When she lived in Nishikata
she wore her hair short.

Exact.

Who would have thought?

Her father comes here often.
Nice to meet you, miss.

Welcome.

I warm up the sake for you.

Noriko, have some.

No, thanks, I never drink.

You want something else?
Or do you prefer to order rice straight away?

As she prefers.

- Can I pour you the sake?
- Certain.

- Then let's eat later.
- All right, professor.

Do you know, professor?

- I heard that she...
- What?

That he remarried, is that true?

Yes, that's right.

- Then I'm sorry about Misako.
- And why?

I believe... that a daughter
she suffers in these cases.

I don't think she suffers from it,
in fact they get along very well.

I don't know, I wouldn't be
capable of forgiving her.

Who are you talking about?
Of the woman I married?

No, about you, professor.

Why?

In other words, it's not very clean.

- Not very clean?
- He should be ashamed.

Shame on me? Are you serious?

I wouldn't be very clean, eh?

- Am I cleaner like this?

- It is not enough.

Not enough, huh? What kind of person are you!

I didn't make you so intransigent!

- Sak�?
- Is it really true that I'm immoral?

- Certain!

You don't mince your words, huh?

I am home.

- I'm here, I brought a guest.
- Who is he?

I wasn't planning on stopping by,

but I met Noriko, and so...

Why were you in Tokyo?

As usual, she called me
the Ministry of Education.

Dad, look, a surprise for you.

My gloves, where did you find them?

I believe we couldn't
to find them at home!

At my usual bar, at Sakigawa?
Have you been there?

I even looked
to convince her to drink sake.

-I bet she would like more.
- What a good idea!

We have?

- Warm it up well.
- Certain.

How were the tests?

They are back under 15.

Oh good.

She has completely recovered.

It was normal for him to collapse,
compulsory labor, war...

Yes, it was exactly like that.

And on days off he beat
the countryside in search of food.

Hard times, she suffered from them.

We have so little to offer her...

Don't worry!

Are they okay in Kyoto? Your wife?

Yes, good. I'm afraid though
that I made a mistake.

That is to say?

Dear Noriko told me
clear and loud that I am immoral!

Yes, my friend. I am immoral
and I should also be ashamed, right?

Yes, that's right!

And is your daughter Misako well?

She's strange too, she says lately
that marriage is the grave of life.

And that she won't get married
before she turned 24.

However, if you think about it carefully
maybe she's right.

I can't do anything about it,
but Noriko instead? It would be time, right?

Yes, I should start tackling
the topic, I admit.

- Will you be alone?
- Yes.

It's a little warm though.

- Heat the next one better.
- Yes.

Here we are close to the sea, right?

It will take 15 minutes on foot.

I thought less. Where is it?
That way?

No.. from this one!

And the Aki temple is this way?

Well no. It's over there!

And where is Tokyo?

Tokyo is in that direction.

I'm beginning to understand,
then that's the east!

But no, no, it's that way!

Seriously? But has it always been there?

Certain!

Now I understand why the shogun
settled here, it's a labyrinth!

Do you want us to stop?
Are you tired, miss?

No, I'm fine.

So, what type would I be?

Well, he's certainly not the jealous type.

And instead he is wrong,
I'm very jealous.

You wouldn't think so.

When I cut the preserves

the pieces all stay attached.

It must be because of the knife.

It doesn't prove anything about cucumbers either
nor on his jealousy.

She likes the pieces
of preserves all attached?

When it happens I don't give it any thought.

Of course the young people
today they are different

from how they were in our time!

Think about that young bride from yesterday

he comes from a good family.

But she devoured it all
and she even drank some sake!

She even devoured the sashimi.

I'm really amazed.

How can you blame her?
She was hungry.

I remember at my wedding

I was so excited that
I didn't eat anything at all.

- But if you got married now you would eat it!
- What nonsense!

How does it come to mind?

Would you eat, sister.

Who knows...

I'm sure.

Well, maybe I'd eat,
but not the sashimi!

Yes, yes, you would eat it.

It will be...

Of course, a sad bride isn't pretty

but to see her go away with so much
indifference is not nice for parents.

What can you do, times change.

And what about Noriko?

She won't be a bride
sad-faced, I'm sure.

Now is not the time to think
at her wedding?

It seems to me that she has recovered by now.

Yes, he's fine now.

She should have already
married and had children.

- And what about that boy?
- Which?

The one who works with you.

Oh, Hattori?

It would be good for her,
in your opinion?

He's a good young man, but I don't know
What do you think Noriko.

I imagine she likes him, but
It doesn't seem like that kind of interest to me.

As you can guess that
what do you feel inside yourself?

Young people are like this,
you keep certain things inside.

- Why don't you ask him?
- Ask who?

But to her, right?

And what?

What do you think of him.

Ah, do you think I should ask him?

Sure, otherwise you'll never know.

Young people today are like this.

I am home.

Welcome back, you're early tonight.

Was the train crowded?

Ninth. I traveled sitting.

Your aunt gave me some preserves.

They're in the bag.

You have a meeting at the club
of writers on the 28th.

It's at the Country Club this time,
what a luxury...

- It's for next Saturday.
- Yes.

Today Mr. Hattori came.

At what time?

Around midday.
Do you want to eat now?

We took a ride
cycling together, to the sea.

With Hattori?

We reached Chirigahama.

But he wanted hattori
talk to me?

No, I don't think so, why?

Noriko, the towel.

And you went
with just one bicycle?

No, of course, the gardener
he lent me his.

The soap is almost finished.

- My belt.
- Here she is.

You look like you had a lot of fun.

Yes, we also stopped on the beach.

Be careful, there's a black bean.

What do you think of him?

What?

By Hattori.

He seems like a good person.

And in your opinion it would be
also a good husband?

- Yes, without a doubt.
- Are you sure?

He's really kind.

Yes, it's true, you're right.

He's a type of man I like.

What a combination!
Your aunt was wondering if...

If what?

If you could like her as a husband.

What do you have?

Pass me the tea please!

What are you laughing at?

But didn't you know that she's getting married?
Hattori has been engaged for years.

With a cute girl from my high school

she that she is three years younger than me.

He wanted to tell you himself.

I've known this for a long time.

Oh really?

I was thinking about that
wedding gift to give him.

Ah, yes, of course.
And so Hattori gets married, huh?

Yes, what could we give him?

I didn't know you were engaged.

So Mr. Hattori,
what gift would you like?

My father cares.

I'm flattered to know that.

I would like a memory of the professor.

Then you think about something around 2 or 3 thousand yen.

Don't you have any ideas?

What do you say?

What might she like?

I don't know, let's think about it together, huh?

-If you like it.
- Yes, please.

Tonight the violinist Iwamoto
from a concert, shall we go?

When?

This evening. I have tickets.

She's very good.

He bought the tickets
thinking of going with me?

Yes.

Truly?

Of course yes.

What a beautiful thought.

But I can't accept it, I think.
It wouldn't be right, in my opinion.

-Do you say? But come on, let's go.
- No thank you.

She won't be angry.

But I would be embarrassed.

The bits of preserves stuck, eh?

Yes, my knife is dull.

Good evening.

- Who is he?

Are you Aya?

Please, come in.

Is Noriko there?

I'll be back soon, take a seat.

Please.

Here's the pillow.

I went to visit
my sister in Hayama.

Really? I heard that
things are going well for you now.

In what sense?

They told me you are
a very busy woman.

Oh, professor, let's not exaggerate.

There is great demand
of good typists.

I'm not just a good typist,
I also know how to write in shorthand.

I'm so sorry, I didn't know.

- And stenographers also in English?
- It's indispensable.

You will be very fast.

I don't have much practice yet.

You will learn soon. And tell me,
Do you earn good money like this?

Sure, enough.

Your parents have made up their minds
to leave you alone?

About what?

Didn't they want you to remarry?

Yes, but they finally have
stopped tormenting me.

One was enough for you, huh?

About what? Of marriage?

Who knows, you never know.

That guy...

Who?

Your husband...

Kenkichi?

Yes, Kenkichi. Do you still see it?

Never.

And if you met him, what would you do?

I wouldn't even look at his face.

Do you hate it that much?

Yes, I just can't see it.

You have clear ideas, huh?

I'm back.

Welcome home.

What do you have?

My legs fell asleep.

Have you been waiting so long, Aya?

I had a chat
with your father.

- Are you staying with us tonight?
- Yes.

Let's go upstairs.

Have you eaten yet?

Yes, do you want me to prepare something for you?

I have already had dinner.

You didn't come to the meeting
of former students.

Were there many of you?

About fifteen, and there it was
also Lady Camelia.

And Professor Murase?

Was he spitting around as usual?

Yes, everywhere.

Even in tea.

None had any more
the courage to drink.

I managed to save
my tea because I was far away.

- And was she there too?
- She, who?

The one who got married
first after the exam.

Oh, Ikegami? There was yes yes.

But she's a liar, she said
she has only three children.

Instead we all knew
she already has four.

Are you sure?

Safe. And Suke was there too.

Oh really?

She quit her job
on the radio to get married.

With who?

- One of high society.
- Really?

Otherwise he wouldn't have it
not even looked at it.

Here's some tea for you.

That's very kind of you.

Need anything else?

There is no sugar.

Dad, I'll go get him.

Then I'll go to sleep.
Good night.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Do you want something to eat?

Later, maybe.

She also forgot the teaspoons.

And was Watanabe there too?

She couldn't come.

It is at this point, now,
large, seven months old.

I didn't know she got married.

In fact she is not married.

She wow...

These things happen, you know,
the intervention of the gods.

And so it's just you and Hirokawa
remain to be sorted out.

And when will you decide?

I don't even think about it.

- Sooner or later you have to do it, you know.
- But no.

But you must!

Why do you preach such things?

Just you who got divorced.

I just failed on the first shot.

Next time then
you'll get full marks, eh?

Isn't it your turn to bat now?

Why not? I just beat.

You just have to wait for a good ball.

Come on, Noriko, let's talk about you now.

What's there to laugh about?
I'm serious.

Why don't we eat something?

Later.

But I'm hungry.

It does not matter.

And then I will eat alone.

To tell the truth, I'm hungry too.

I'll bring you something then.

Do you have jam?

Yes.

Do you only bring a little?

You meant a lot..."right"?

Bu-chan...

Why don't you go and play too?

Did you argue?

Bu-chan, are you angry?

That nail polish won't dry.

What nail polish?

The one on my bat.

Oh, beautiful. You painted it red.

Yes.

From there in the corridor there is a whole trail
of nail polish, your mother will be angry.

She's already angry.

Is that why you cried?

I didn't cry.
Go away, leave me alone, Noriko.

This is the bluster
of a crybaby child.

What? Do you see this?
I'll take it with you if you don't leave.

Come on, try it!

- Noriko, dear.
- Has your guest gone out?

Come down and say hello.

You're not going out today.

This is Noriko, the daughter
of my brother.

This is Mrs. Miwa.

It's a pleasure. I saw her
sometime in Kamakura.

Forgive me
for staying so long.

- Forgive me
modest hospitality.

Noriko, dear, come here.

Sit down there while I have to talk to you.

What's wrong aunt?

It's about time
I was thinking about marriage.

Ah, the same old story, huh?
Leave it alone aunt.

No, no, I won't let it go.
Sit down and we'll talk about it.

I have a very suitable candidate,
would you agree to meet him?

His name is Satake, graduate
in science from Tokyo University.

It belongs to an ancient one
Matsuyama family.

He is employed in Marunouchi
at Nitto Chemicals.

He was his father
director there before the war.

He is only 34 years old,
just the right age for you.

His colleagues talk about him
very good about him.

At that time? What do you say?

Do you know who he looks like? To that actor
American... that movie about baseball...

Gary Cooper?

Yes, yes, Cooper. He looks like us
a lot, he has almost the same mouth.

But it's clear that from here on out it's different.

Well? What do you say?
Would you agree to meet him?

Look, he's a really nice young man.

At that time?

I don't want to get married yet, aunt.

Don't want to get married?
And for what reason?

But, don't you understand?
I can't get married now.

And what's stopping you?

But for my father.

Look, I did it
the habit now.

But sometimes he is very eccentric.

What if I left him alone
he would feel lost, in my opinion.

But you can't influence
your life for this.

I'm the only one who knows
what does dad need.

Don't worry about that now.
Tell me what you would like to do for yourself.

I can't help but worry about it.

But this way you will never get married.

I don't care at all.

Listen, by the way, Mrs. Miwa
who you just met...

How would you see her?

What do you want to say?

Your father will need someone
when you leave.

I was wondering if Mrs
maybe she was fine.

Come here, Noriko.

You know, she had a good husband,

but she is now a widow and she has no children,
She was left completely alone.

At that time? What do you think?
She's so sensible and she has taste.

Have you already talked about it with dad?

I mentioned something to him
the last time I saw him.

Oh, yes? And what did he answer you?

She continued polishing
her pipe, but she didn't object.

So what was the need?
to ask me?

It seemed right to me to hear
what do you think. So?

I do not have anything to say,
if it's okay with my father.

Welcome back.
How did it go at your aunt's?

Nothing special.

The bath is ready, go while it's warm.

- Listen...

- What?

What did the aunt want?

Is there something wrong?

What do you have?

But where are you going now?

Going shopping...

Permit.

Greetings.

Hello Mr. Hattori.

The professor and the young lady
they're both out now.

They left early this morning.

They said they were going to see
a Noh theater show.

Really? Sin.
Can you get them this?

Yes, don't worry.

Tell him I came by to say thank you.

Certain! I'm sorry that you don't
found them today.

Excuse me, goodbye.

If you want I'll prepare more wood for you.

Yes, thanks, but come
to see this photo.

But this is Mr. Hattori!

I thought he was going to marry
Miss Noriko.

Me too...

See how well it turned out?

And he looks at the bride, how beautiful she is.

It was very nice
today's Noh, right?

Are you coming to eat something at Takigawa?

I have another plan for tonight.

That is what?

Nothing special.

Will you be late?

Still do not know.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I was making shortcrust pastry.

Maybe I exaggerated a little
with vanilla, but not bad.

Will you come over there with me, then?

What frozen hands you have!

We go to my room,
You smoke, serve tea with sweets.

And how did you think
A thing like that?

Come on, tell me, what's the reason?

There is no particular reason.

Come on, taste them!

Are you saying it's very complicated?

Complicated what?

Learn to write in shorthand.

I wouldn't say, quite simple.
I'm fine with it, so...

Taste it, come on, it's good, you know?

Explain to me why suddenly
you are interested in shorthand.

What happened?

Nothing special happened.

But what's the point of working
what if there is no need?

I certainly wouldn't have gotten divorced
and I shouldn't have worked

if Ken had been at least
half an acceptable husband.

I'm forced to work,
I have to support myself.

Noriko, get married, it's better.

Keep your own advice
about marriage for you.

And instead I will give them to you anyway.

Please spare them for me.

Listen to me, it's better to get married.

What are you doing? Not eating?

No thank you I'm not hungry.

But it's good!

No, I don't like it.

But at least taste it,
I did it.

No.

Look, I'll do it for you
swallow by force!

Leave me alone!

Do whatever you want,
you're a hysteric, anyway.

And this shows that you have
really need to get married.

- And where are you going now?
- At my home.

At home? Are you really leaving?

Aren't you staying with me tonight?
Come on, stay!

I am home.

Welcome back, where have you been?

To find Aya.

I received a letter from your aunt.

She wants to see you at her house
Saturday afternoon, the day after tomorrow.

She told you about that young man
when you were with her, right?

He will also be there the day after tomorrow,
go, so at least you will get to know him.

Couldn't it be avoided?

Go and meet him, at least.

If you don't like it then you're not
forced to meet him again.

Noriko, come here.

Sit down.

I imagine your aunt has already told you,

anyway it's called Satake.

I met him, you know, it seemed to me
really a good person.

I'm sure you will
the same impression.

You'll see for yourself and decide.

We can't live like this forever.

Sooner or later you will have to get married.

In my opinion the right time has come.

Your aunt loves you very much
and she is trying to help you.

But, really I...

I just want to stay with you.

But this is impossible.

And I say this against my best interests,

It would be convenient for me
that you stayed with me.

So why not?

Because it wouldn't be right.

I've already taken too much advantage of you,
of your affection, of your help.

It's not easy for me to give up on you,
but I have to do it.

If you didn't get married now,
I would feel great remorse.

But if I got married,
what would you do?

- Do not worry for me.
- Why shouldn't I?

I'll manage, you'll see.

- Then there's no point in me getting married.
- Why?

Why would you walk around with
dirty shirts and collars.

You wouldn't even shave.

I'll shave it, don't worry.

What if I didn't clean your desk,

it would always remain dirty.

And then you would eat burnt rice
every day because you don't know how to cook.

It would be a disaster
if you were alone, dad.

Yes, but if I sheltered you

from all these worries?

What would you say if you found
someone to take care of me?

And who, for example?

I don't know, it's just an idea.

You're trying to tell me what you want to do
what did Mr. Onodera do?

Do you want to get married again too?

Do you want to get another wife?

That woman today?

Are you really determined to do it?

Seriously? Are you telling the truth?

Don't come in, please.

Leave me alone.

So, will you go to your aunt's?

We all care about you.

You're going, right? Will you do it for me?

You'll see, tomorrow it will be
a nice day.

What did Noriko say then?

He didn't tell me about it.

But how? It's already over now
a week after the meeting.

The family is waiting for a response.

Oh, yeah, I realize that.

I prefer not to put pressure on her,
so as not to jeopardize the matter.

He did it to the family
an excellent impression.

I'm sure she does too
found it interesting.

Noriko is intelligent,
he will accept it, he must accept it.

But why did she go to Tokyo today?

You're too lenient with her.

I have to have her answer by today.

What do you think, should I wait for her?

Look, I found a wallet.

It's a good omen! You will see,
theirs will be a happy marriage.

But how? Don't you give it to the guardian?

This is such a good omen
It's better if I keep it.

Let's go.

So, can you tell me what it's like?

Is he a nice boy?

Is he fat?

So, is he skinny?

Well, how is it then?

He played basketball in college.

Really? And is he cute?

How was it done?

My aunt claims he has
Gary Cooper's mouth and chin.

Oh, very good, always to you
liked Gary Cooper.

But it reminds me more
the electrician who comes to our house.

But does he look like Cooper or not?

Yes, it's the Japanese copy of him.

So a positive side of it
he has it too, rejoice!

I'd give you a slap.

I didn't think you would accept
an arranged marriage.

But why worry? Marry him.

It's not easy to find
a boy like that nowadays.

I wouldn't think twice about it.

I don't like these things.

Arranged marriages.

But take advantage of it while you're at it.

You would never get married anyway if
someone else didn't take care of it for you.

- But...
- And there are no "buts" that matter.

Be realistic, if you loved someone,

would you have the courage to let him know?

No! You wouldn't look at it
not even in your face.

You would blush like a schoolgirl
of elementary school.

Arranged marriages are perfect
for shy girls like you.

Mine was not combined, I had
cheek, and see how it ended?

Men are like that
all the same, all scoundrels.

They fill you with attention
to take you in love.

Only after the wedding
they reveal all their worst sides.

Are you convinced of it?

Even when you love each other it ends like this.

So in the meantime marry him
and in case you leave him afterwards.

Don't worry, it's that easy.
Do as I tell you.

You just have to smile at him
and he will fall at your feet.

At that point you sit down
and be the hostess of the house.

Come on...

That's right.

-You think he's joking, huh?
- So what should I do?

This is the smile, she looks.

Do as I say and you'll see.

He's late tonight.

I'll come back another time, then.

She waits a few more minutes.

- I'll be here in a moment.
- Let's hope so.

We hope you give us a positive response.

You'll see, I'm sure she liked it.

You say?

She's just shy.

It's not like today's youth,
she's a bit old-fashioned.

Let's hope you don't object
for nonsense, instead.

For example?

-Do you know what her name is Satake?
- Satake Kumataro, right?

Kumataro.

And what's strange?

He might sound like "bear boy".

Now you're a little old-fashioned, sister.

But the name "bear"...

It makes you think of a hairy person.

It might be annoying
to a young girl, right?

And then she if she married him,

what should I call it?

Kumataro sounds vulgar to me.

And "Kuma-san" is too banal.

Then "Kuma-chan" is even worse.

Yes, but anyway
we will have to use a name.

Precisely!
I think I'll call him "Ku-chan".

Ku-chan?

How is it?

It must be her.

I am arrived.

Let's talk about something else!

And so, that time...

- I'm here.
- Welcome back.

Oh, welcome back dear.

What are we doing?

I'm going to ask you for an answer.

What?

With tact.

Don't worry.

Oh, Noriko, welcome back.

About that boy
that you met.

What do you think about it?
Have you decided something?

So what do you say?

You know, I think it really is
a very suitable party for you.

Will you marry him?

What have you decided?

Will you marry him then?

Really?

Do you agree, then?

Thanks, Noriko, I'll be right there
to let the family know.

Agree? What a wonderful thing!
You take a burden off me, you know?

How did it go?

She accepted, I told you so.

That's better.

Now I have to run.
Ah, what a relief.

I will communicate this to the family immediately.

Yes, thanks sister.

I will take the 9.35 train.

Then you better hurry!

I feel really relieved.

Tonight I will finally be able to sleep.

You will have to make arrangements
for wedding details.

-She tries to come to me.
- Certain.

You saw that wallet
did it bring us luck?

Yes, but take it to the police now.

But yes, of course!

Do I leave it open here?
Good night.

Take care of yourself.

- Until we meet again.
- Until we meet again.

Your aunt just left.

She was really very happy.

You accepted the proposal, huh?

Are you convinced of it or do you just do it
to indulge us?

Maybe you still are
a little undecided, or not?

No, I'm not undecided.

Well, then everything is fine.

You slept well last night
on the train?

Me too.

I woke up alone
at the height of the Seta bridge.

I didn't even realise
that I passed Nagoya myself.

Sorry for the wait.

Are you tired, Noriko?

No, not particularly.

I'm really happy
to have you here.

You know, Noriko decided to get married, so...

This will be the last
our journey together.

Wonderful, I congratulate you!

Well done!

What is your fiancé like, Noriko?

Is he much better than me?

- There is no comparison, my friend.
- And what do you think?

She is undoubtedly cuter.

Really, huh? This compliment
deserves special treatment.

A nice lunch, perhaps at the Hotel Hikutei?

Misako wanted to see you.

Oh, yes? I would like to see it too!

But you will have to endure it
even the two immoral spouses, eh?

You can do it?

Kyoto is so beautiful
and so restful.

A place like this doesn't exist in Tokyo.
There is only dust here.

Do you often come here to Kyoto, professor?

No, it was years.

It's the first time
since the end of the war.

First time?

We are here!

Do you still consider us immoral?

Stop it.

I'm interested in your opinion.

Dad, what are you talking about?
Who would be immoral?

Let's talk about a business
Not very clean, eh Noriko?

Today we walked a lot.

- You are tired?
- Ninth.

The last time I am
been here it was spring.

The azaleas were blooming beautifully.

Are you meeting Misako tomorrow?

He'll pick me up at 10.

Where will you go?
Why don't you visit museums?

Shall we sleep now?

Yes, I'll turn off the light.

You know, I've been too much
hard on Mr. Onodera.

Why?

His new wife
She is very sweet and cute.

They make a beautiful couple.

They have nothing
of little morality in their union.

Don't worry.

I shouldn't have talked to him like that.

He didn't take you seriously.

Are you sure?

You do not have to worry.

See dad...

When you said you wanted you
remarry I thought the same about you.

You finally decided
to let her go, huh?

Oh, yes. She will be a good wife.

There is always a male child
better than a daughter.

You only raise females
to see them go.

If they don't get married
you feel worried.

But if they get married
you suffer because then you miss them.

There's nothing to do, it's life.

We also took away
daughters to fathers, right?

Will you give me those socks?

It's always like this.

We have come this far
and we are already about to leave.

But this holiday in Kyoto
It was a wonderful idea.

I'm happy I came.

The human beings
they are never satisfied.

But I would have liked to do it
also a trip to Nara.

We should have travelled
more often together, right?

It's our last trip together.

You'll be very busy
once home.

Your aunt is waiting for you.

Hopefully we can find it
placed on the train instead.

From now on he will be your husband
to take you on a journey.

you will see that he will take care of you.

What is it?

What's wrong, Noriko?

I...

I want to stay with you, father.

I don't want to go anywhere.

I don't want to travel with someone else.

I'm happy like this, me.

Not even marriage
it might make me happier.

I couldn't find a more perfect happiness.

I don't want to change.

Yes, but do you also know that...

Ninth. You get married too
if you want, dad.

Allow me to stay with you.

Love You so much.

Your mere presence gives me joy.

Let me stay, don't send me away,
please, dad.

Marriage will not be possible
let me know

a greater joy than this.

You are wrong.

You will understand too.

Your father is already 56 years old,

and his life is taking off
now towards the end.

Yours is starting now.

A life that you and Satake
you will have to build together.

To do this you need to have someone nearby
a young person like you.

It's a world now
too far from mine.

It is nothing more than the natural succession
of the seasons of human life.

Marriage does not mean
happiness guaranteed from the start.

Don't think that
happiness is a gift...

that nature bestows on young newlyweds.

No, happiness waits for no one
on the doorstep.

It is something that must be conquered
moment by moment.

Marriage is not happiness.

It is the starting point
for a new life together.

This is true and complete happiness.

Often it takes a year to spend
to find it, maybe 3 or 5 or 10.

Happiness is achieved by working together.

This is the only true one
path to becoming husband and wife.

Your mother wasn't either
happy when we got married.

We had to deal with it
many problems, for years.

I surprised her more than once
in tears in a corner of the kitchen.

And then we matured together.

We had faith in each other,
we have learned to love each other.

All the love you have for me
you will have to donate it to Satake.

You understood me?

From this it will come
your future true happiness.

You understand me, right?

You understand, right?

I'm sorry, I was selfish.

I'm glad you understood.

My selfishness is unforgivable.

I'm glad you understand now.

I couldn't have made you marry...

without being sure first
that you really understood this.

Now you're ready, I know
you will know how to build your happiness.

You will make a beautiful couple, you and Satake.

I can't wait to see you together.

You will see that the weight
of your doubts today...

will soon be forgotten.

I am sorry...

For making you worry.

But no, just think about finding
your happiness, okay?

Yes, I will.

Yes, I'm sure
you will do it and you will be happy.

I have no doubts, I have a lot
trust you, you will make it.

There were some clouds last night,
I was afraid it would rain.

Luckily the sun has already arrived,
I'm relieved.

And where will you go on your honeymoon?

In Yugawara.

Really? Noriko too
he chose Yugawara.

Do you know if they have buses at the station?

Yes, and taxis too.

Professor, they want it
upstairs, if you want you can go up now.

She's already made up
and they are just finishing dressing her.

You go and see how beautiful your daughter is.

Of course I'm going.

She will be a wonderful bride.

Brother, it's ready.

The cars?

- Ready.
- Oh, yes?

Thank you thank you.

So, you're ready, huh?

- We'll move on in the meantime.
- Sure, please.

- I'll carry the bag, OK?
- Thank you.

Darling, you have your fan, right?

You're beautiful, you know?

I wish your mother
she could see you now.

Well, shall we go then?

So we can go
no rush, huh?

You don't have something
to tell your daughter first?

No, we've already told each other everything.

So, Noriko dear, shall we go?

My father...

Thanks for all that
what you have done for me over the years.

Try to be happy
and to become a good wife.

Be happy, my dear.

And remember to give joy to your spouse.

So, let's go, huh?

Aya, another one?

It's the third.

Up to five I can handle them well.

I once drank six,
but then I collapsed.

Here it is.

I saw his daughter,
she was here with Professor Onodera.

- Yes, I know.
- How she grew, I was amazed!

Aren't you coming today?

We just said goodbye to her
at the station, she got married today.

Really? Just come
from marriage, then.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Goodbye and thank you.

Where will they be right now?

Oh, maybe towards Ofuna.

He will feel quite alone
at the beginning, isn't it?

It won't be so bad,
I'll get used to it.

What do you say, do you want the fourth?

Is that true, professor?

Is it true that they will get married again?

Why?

You see, Noriko was scared.

For her this idea
it was truly unbearable.

Professor, don't do it.

Think about it carefully, it would be nonsense.

Really?

But, see, if I had told him
Noriko would never have married.

She's fantastic, I'm impressed.

Don't worry, you won't feel alone.

I will come to visit her often, really.

Sure, whenever you want
come too Aya, I will be happy.

You can count on it.
Ah, how wonderful.

My fifth, please.

With that, that's enough.

Look what I'm waiting for you,
you promised, come, huh?

He will definitely come, I promised.

I'm not one
who tells lies like you, you know?

Huh?

I would never know how to be
equally convincing.

I don't know how I did it, it was
the biggest lie of my life.

Welcome back.

I'm here.

- I hope all went well.
- Yes, thank you.

Well, then I congratulate you
with you professor.

I am very obliged to you.

Then good night!

Thank you, best regards Sei.

- Good night.
- Good night.
