The client is the restaurant Yoshida-ya.

Itoko's Father Ohara Zensaku

Her father is formidable.

You use what you've got up here.

Ohara Itoko

Yeah.

Got it.

Sir!

What are you saying? Using a child for this.

Sir!

Whaa!

Such a bother!

Restaurant Yoshida-ya

I wonder what they'll have to eat that's good today?

It's about time they brought out that, isn't it?

Ah, that would be good!

Oh?

What's the matter little girl?

You should go home; your family'll be worried.

Eh... I have to wait until I get paid.

What's this? Collecting money?

To put such a small child through all this trouble...

If I don't bring back the money, my family won't give me dinner tonight!

Huh?

The proprietor here isn't paying you?

He said, "I don't have it today. Come back tomorrow."

That man can be too much.

He's far too stingy with his earnings.

Oi, Proprietor!

Ah, welcome! Sorry to keep you waiting. Now, come in, come in.

Yoshida-ya Proprietor Yoshida Shoichi

Proprietor! I don't know what's going on, but you should pay her.

Eh?

Ah... Eh?

What's this? That child who came earlier.

Didn't I tell you that I'd pay you tomorrow?

If you don't pay her today, her family won't feed her tonight.

Well anyhow, come on inside!

Proprietor!

You really should pay up right away.

I feel so sorry for such a tiny child like her.

Ah, all right.

Right! You, go around to the back. Now, come in, come in, come in!

Now, this way, this way!

You shouldn't be doing things that get in the way of doing business. Hmpf!

Now, come on up.

Yes. All there.

You are far more skilled at business than your father is.

Thank you very much!

Onee-san! Good evening!

Good evening!

Good evening! You're late already!

Murakami-san and the others arrived earlier, so you've kept an eminent leader waiting.

Go on!

You, leave!

Dad!

I got paid!

Oh, really?!

I got paid!!

You did it, Itoko! You really did it!

Yeah! I really did it!

Oh! What is this and you're still just a baby.

But you're already grown up enough for this.

Ah, kyuu, kyuu, kyuu-ya!

Kyuu, kyuu, kyuu, kyuu!

Ore ha Kawahara no... I am Karawada's...

How is it? Any good?

Yeah!

I see.

If you had been a boy, it would have been so much more fun.

Eh?

If you weren't my daughter but my son...

...I would have already trained you in all the ins-and-outs...

...about kimonos and the business.

You've got a good head on you...

...and guts more than enough to make you a merchant.

And then you and I could have made...

...Ohara Dry Goods Shop into Kishiwada's number one kimono store.

We could have stocked the choicest goods...

...and collected money hand over fist.

That would have been fun!

I'll do it as a woman!

Eh?

I'll become a woman merchant!

You fool.

Don't call me a fool!

Women, see...

...they go on to become wives and then serve their husbands. That's what's best!

Why's that?

Why can women only do that?

Let's go.

Kobe

Taisho 14 (1925) New Year's Day

Happy New Year!

Oh! My little girl has come.

Itoko's Grandfather Matsuzaka Seizaburō

I've come Grandpa!

Happy New Year.

Itoko's Grandmother Matsuzaka Sadako

Happy New Year, Grandma!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year...

My Grandpa on my Mother's side of the family lived in Kobe.

Grandpa's family was very successful...

...and the New Year's food they served was luxurious.

Those chestnuts are mine!

I'm the oldest sister, so I can eat all I want.

How is it, Itoko? Delicious?

Yeah, delicious!

Really?

Hey, Shizuko!

I told you those chestnuts are mine!

I just want to eat some chestnuts.

Hey!

They're mine! I told you to stop that!

They're mine! Mom!

Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey!

No fighting.

Can't you teach her to eat properly?

I try.

Well, all she says is "Chestnuts, chestnuts."

Itoko's Mother Ohara Chiyo

I guess that girl is enjoying herself.

Our grandchild is nothing but a dull boy.

He won't have anything at all to do with kimonos.

Here! You can have sweets, too.

Ah! Chocolate!

They're your favorites, aren't they?

Whaa! I'm so happy!

That's right, the other day Yoshio-chan came by. Yoshio-chan.

And...

How much do you want me to lend you this time around?

Eh?

Ah...

Um...

30 yen...

Huh?

We have to make a payment to the wholesaler by the end of the month...

...but somehow or other my husband...

Chiyo's Older Brother Matsuzaka Seiichi

Given our circumstances, it would be such a help, but...

Oh yeah, Chiyo-chan.

Do you know about cocoa?

I'll bring in some!

Mom!

Hmm... In the first place...

...why are you the one borrowing from me each time you come over?

If it's for money, wouldn't it reasonable for Zensaku-kun to come himself?

Ah...

Um...

He really wanted to...

But he's so very busy with the business...

Ah! If he's that busy, shouldn't you be prosperous?

Huh?

Don't give me 'huh'.

You're just spoiling that idiot husband of yours.

Really!

That Zenzaku has some temerity!

In the first place...

...I don't recall having ever given you and him...

...permission to get married!

What is it?

You shouldn't, Dear, not after all this time.

It is not too long afterwards!

I was absolutely opposed to it.

Why did my precious daughter have to fall in love with...

...a clerk at some shabby kimono shop like that?

If you hadn't faked acting like you were going to elope...

...then you wouldn't be having all these problems with money. Huh?

What's "elope"?

Ah!

Ala! It's nothing. Nothing at all.

Oi, how was it? Did you fill your tummy-wummy?

I did! It was delicious!

I see!

I see, I see. Ah... Ito.

Oi, Isamu!

Yes!

Ah!

Matsuzaka Isamu

Go and show Itoko here something interesting!

This is the Titanic.

It's a British luxury cruise ship...

...but it crashed into an iceberg and sank.

Hmm...

Say, Ito-chan. Do you know where Japan is?

It's right here!

Ah!

What is this?

Pretty!

So pretty!

Ah...

Can I touch it?

Sure.

Really?

Ah... Truth is, Mama told me not to open that, but...

Whaa!

What a beautiful kimono!

Do you like that?

Come with me. I'll show you something even better.

I don't need it!

I like this.

Never mind that, come with me.

Say, where are we going?

Hey!

I'm going back.

What is it?

Whaa!

Whaa! They spotted us!

Ito-chan!

(Oh, I guess we have another child here.)

(Oh!)
