I'm gonna become a carpenter, too!

Ohara Dry-goods Store

A girl can't compete with a man!

It's not a kimono. It's Western clothing.

Foreign clothes aren't kimonos.

It was the first Appappa I had made and it was a little strange...

...but I had been praised for it.

Yo, Itoko!

Still, the time when I would make Western clothes that other people would wear...

...was still a long, long ways off.

Eight am!?

There's just one and only one thing

Director Tanaka Kenji

Natsu, let me under your umbrella.

Showa 2 (1927)

Huh? No way.

Why not? Lemme in.

I told you no! Why would I let you in?

Lemme in already. Don't be so stingy!

No! Definitely not!

Ah!

Ito-chan, come under my umbrella. You'll get wet.

Taisō-niichan, g'morning!

Yo!

Be careful at work; it's raining, after all.

Ohara Itoko

At the end of the last year, the Emperor Taisho had passed on...

...and this was a new era called Showa.

I will definitely never let someone like you in!

Wait!

No!

Izumikawa Senior Girls School

I was now a schoolgirl.

It was natural for girls to attend a Girl's School...

...especially the pretty girls.

I want to lose weight.

Me, too.

I want to have white skin.

That way, I could join the Takaratsuka!

Takaratsuka - famous Japanese all-female musical theater troupe based in Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture, near Osaka

If I can get thin, I can go and meet Bandō Tsumasaburō-san!

Bando Tsumasaburo - 1901-1953, prominent Japanese actor of jidaigeki films and noted for his sword-fighting roles

Ah... I wonder if we can ever get that skinny?

What is it, Yoshida-san?

Yoshida Natsu

Nothing.

Yoshida Natsu didn't seem to have any friends at Girl's School.

But then, I didn't talk to anyone either.

Ala? Where did my potatoes go?

Huh?

I was absorbed by triangles just then.

Hey, Ohara-san! Those are my potatoes!

Hmpf!

The important thing is to watch, watch what you're doing...

There was a sewing class four times a week.

By no means must you become sloppy.

Of course I was always enthusiastic for them.

Here!

Sensei!

Yes, Ohara-san.

Um, it's about Appappa...

Ohara-san. What is everyone sewing right now?

Yukatas.

Yukata - summer kimono

Yes, yukatas.

They have nothing to do with Appappas, now do they?

That's true...

...but I've already finished sewing my yukata.

Um... I was thinking about putting these triangles along the hem of my Appappa, but...

Feel free to put as many triangles or squares or whatever on it as you wish!

If you have finished your sewing, then please read silently from your textbook!

Far beyond liking it, I was sick of that part.

Since getting our textbook in April, I had already read through it 100 times.

I had memorized everything that was written in it...

...so it made me sleepy during sewing class.

Ohara-san!

Everyone...

...I'm glad that all of you were able to get through today once more without incident.

The days are drawing nearer to the end of the year and thus shorter...

...but please use your time effectively.

Unlike Grade school, since Girl's School finished late and there was homework to do...

...I didn't have as much time...

...to work on my sewing.

Don't forget your homework.

Make sure of that, okay?

Yes!

Stand!

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

I was always running home.

Ah! Hey, Kansuke.

Yasuoka Kansuke

"Hey, Kansuke"?

Who's she?

When he was with someone I didn't know, Kansuke wouldn't answer when I spoke to him these days.

Ah... done!

Mitsuko, try this on.

Whaa, this Appappa is nice.

That's true. It's cute somehow.

Isn't it?

It's because of the triangles.

Triangles?

I put these triangles in here.

And that's what gives it its fluffiness.

Fourth Daughter Mitsuko

How nice! I want this, too!

Second Daughter Shizuko

Third Daughter Kyoko

Me, too!

Okay! I'll make them!

Whaa!

This is nice.

Whaa, it's so pretty.

Whaa!

Whaaaa!

Itoko's Grandmother Ohara Haru

What are you doing at this time of night?

Sewing an Appappa for Shizuko.

Hurry and get to bed!

You shouldn't be doing that, but sleeping.

I know. I'll just finish this bit...

Nope!

Just this little bit more.

I told you "No," didn't I?

Hurry to bed!

Ahh...

That's right.

I didn't do my homework.

I wanted to hurry and grow up.

Once I was an adult, it'd be fine for me to sew as much as I liked every day.

Ohara Dry-goods Store

Good afternoon. Sorry for bothering you.

Welcome!

Good afternoon.

Excuse me.

Ohara Dry-goods...

...was very prosperous!

...is what I'd like to say, but unfortunately these were different customers.

Ohara Dry-goods Store

Anata e To you

Since last year, Dad had started a classroom in Noh chants.

These people are his pupils.

Zarazara

Ah, ahh...

That should do.

Itoko's Father Ohara Zensaku

Let's start once again.

At the usual spot.

Anata e zarari To you who falls

Anata e To you

While he would get a monthly tuition fee from his pupils...

...Dad would also contrive to sell them kimono goods while he was at it.

This is nice, but, well...

...right now I don't have any money.

Maybe next time...

Sakai-san.

Would you like this?

No, no. I just had some made for me.

I see...

They haven't been selling recently...

We still owe half of Itoko's school tuition...

Itoko's Mother Ohara Chiyo

And we still have three other daughters to get through...

Eh... Mumble, grumble...

If you've got a complaint, spit it out clearly!

The school tuition.

Huh?

It was you who generously offered to send your daughter to Girl's School...

...so you shouldn't stop paying her school tuition fees.

Don't bother me with that!

I know all about it!

You're the one who said, "spit it out clearly," so I did!

Don't bother me with that!

Oi, Chiyo! Dinner!

Serve dinner!

Ye... yes.

Excuse me.

I'm back!

Ito-chan, welcome back.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

I'm back.

I'm home!

Oi, Itoko, are you back?

Geez...

What is it, Dad?

Money collecting, money collecting. It's in Hinoikecho, so it's a little far.

Eh?!

I want to do my sewing.

Don't talk back!

Watch what you say! Work comes before that.

Here.

I'm so busy, so busy...

As ever, Dad still hated collecting money, so these days he left it all to me.

I had to go to so many towns I didn't know of.

Geez, I want to hurry home...

This turn here...

A white sign...

A white sign...

Huh?

What is that...

Masuya Patch Store

Masuya Patch Store

I didn't know what it was.

Even though I didn't know what it was...

...I found my eyes glued to it.

It was running...

It was running sharply...

That speed.

That fineness.

Sorya! Sorya! Sorya! Sorya!

The Danjiri.

I had found it. My Danjiri.

That was the Danjiri that I could ride on!
