The Danjiri is part of Kishiwada's once-a-year festival...

...so everyone is very busy from first thing in the morning.

The town's men folk would be pulling the Danjiri.

The women folk would make piles and piles of treats.

Itoko's Grandmother Ohara Haru

Hey, the nabe's boiling.

Yes.

Ala?

Itoko's Mother Ohara Chiyo

Where's the wooden spoon gone off to?

Hurry and eat! Hurry and eat 'cause the Danjiri's coming!

G'morning. Excuse us.

Ah, Yasuoka-obaachan.

G'morning.

G'morning.

Hey, say your "G'morning."

Ala! G'morning.

Oba-chan, sorry for coming so early in the day.

There was one thing after another happening in my home...

Neighborhood Hairsylist Shop Yasuoka Tamae

...so since I couldn't get anything done, I came over.

And? Taizō-chan's the one who wanted you out?

Yeah... "I don't want Mama to worry about anything," he said...

Taizō-niichan is this Oba-chan's oldest son.

This is his first year on top of the big roof as one of the carpenters.

Yasuoka Taizō

Itoko's Father Ohara Zensaku

Taizō! We're leaving the roof to you.

Yes!

The Carpenters...

Carpenters

...would wave their signs from the rooftop of the Danjiri...

...and that is the coolest but most dangerous role.

Oba-chan, this way, this way!

Ohara Dry-goods Store

Oba-chan, sit here! This is the best spot to watch the Danjiri.

What's wrong?

Ito-chan...

I haven't had a wink of sleep since yesterday.

Why?

I was worried and worried about Taizō.

What's more, this is his first time on the big roof.

If he falls from the Danjiri, he would be humbled and shamed...

Let's go! Go!

Sōrya! Sōrya!

Ah, when's the Danjiri coming?

Taizō-niichan's younger brother, Kansuke...

Yasuoka Kansuke

...was in the same 5th grade at the same elementary school I was in.

My big brother is one of the Carpenters.

I know that.

He's weak, but he's really puffed-up right now.

I'm cool. I'm enviable.

'Cause I'm the younger brother of a Carpenter.

From here on out, you'll have to listen to what I tells you.

Fool! Don't get caught up in the moment!

What'dya do that for?

The only one who's cool is your brother!

You're nothing but an idiot!

Geh...

Ah!

Make room! Make room!

They've come!

They've come! Mom, the Danjiri has come!

They've come... What should I do?

Where? Where are they?

Oh!

They've come!

Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya!

Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya!

Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya!

Taizō-niichan!

Whaa! So cool, Taizō-niichan!

Nii-chan! Nii-chan!

You're so cool, Niichan!

Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya!

Taizō-chan, was splendid!

Splendid!

Ala? Tamae-san!

Tamae-san!

Unknown even to herself...

...Oba-chan had been holding her breath this entire time.

You okay?

At night, the children were given a turn at pulling the Danjiri.

Itoko!

Itoko-neechan!

Taizō-chan! You were splendid!

He's so cool!

When I grow up, I'll definitely become a Carpenter, too!

Fool. Women can't become Carpenters.

Ah, ow, ow, ow!

That hurt!

En'yā sōrya! En'yā sōrya!

I had wanted to ride it, too...

...but they said girls couldn't ride on it.

Hey, hurry, hurry!

Yomo tsukiji Everything around is used up

Excuse me.

Yomo tsukiji Everything around is used up

Zen-chan, enough of that. Hurry and drink up.

No one's listening anymore!

This mizu-eggplant's delicious.

Ma'am!

Your mizu-eggplant is skillfully pickled! Right?

Ah, thanks...

Sorry, sorry.

It's okay! I can walk!

Oh, Taizō! You were great!

Thank you.

Take care.

Take care!

Take care!

Thank you.

Thank you for your hospitality.

It's okay, I said. I can walk.

It's okay.

Why, when you're all tuckered out, would you carry me home on your back?

Ah, ah, Taizō!

You did a great job!

Take care!

You did really great today.

Thank you.

That was great, great...

Itoko.

The Danjiri was over...

...and my ordinary days had started again.

Itoko!

Eh?

Geez, everyone else is awake already.

Dad returned to his dry-goods shop as usual.

Grandma didn't make any treats, either.

Grandma!

My sardines are so tiny!

Hey, Grandma! Please give me bigger sardines!

Be quiet!

A tiny one like you shouldn't complain so big. Just eat!

Who left it like that again, eh?!

When you open that, make sure you close it!

Yes!

Hey, Itoko!

How can you do that with your feet! Eh?!

What a naughty child! Eh?! With your feet?!

Eh?! With your feet?!

Hey!

Forgive me!

Be quiet!

What's happened?

Hey!

Wait, you! Wait!

Forgive me!

I'll smack you!

Yoshida Natsu is the daughter of the best restaurant around here.

Yoshida Natsu

She arrives every day at school in a different kimono.

Wait!

Wait!

I'm the daughter of a kimono dry-goods store, but I don't have a different kimono for every day.

You were teasing this frog, weren't you?

I won't allow you to tease frogs!

Wait!

Wait!

Oh!

Taizō-niichan, g'morning!

Yo!

I'm gonna become a Carpenter, too!

Inside my head right now...

...more than kimonos, more than studying...

...it was filled with Danjiri.
