Ohara Zensaku Kobayashi Kaoru

Ah! Ah... Ah...

It's hot out.

Welcome back!

It's summer, oi!

Big Boss!

Big Boss, Big Boss! Let me take a look at that, please.

Huh?

Excuse me a minute.

Huh?

I guess this is difficult.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

What's this about?

That's right, you. It's not that easy to sew Western clothes.

It's completely different from a kimono and very difficult.

I see.

I thought so.

Western clothes'd be impossible for you. Give it up.

Well, shirts and business suits would be impossible...

...but couldn't you sew something a little simpler?

For example?

For example, umm...

An Appappa!

What are you saying?

Think before you speak. An Appappa...

Look you, those are worn by women.

Well, my Pa wears one around the house.

Really?

Yeah.

My Ma took an old yukata and sewed it up for my Pa...

...and my Pa said, "it's really nice," right away, so my wife made me one, too.

Appappas are nice. They're comfortable and refreshing.

Really?

Yeah! Try an Appappa. You can sew one of those, can't you?

I can sew them. Appappas are my strong point!

Well, you should use some good fabric.

Well, if you can get him to wear it, I'll have to give some thought to Appappas myself!

That'd be good, Big Boss!

Yeah!

Good!

Ah...

Thanks for your hard work!

Ah, thank you so much.

Ito-chan, take this!

It's a little old, but it's a nice fabric.

My husband said, "Have her use this to make an Appappa."

No, I couldn't...

It's totally okay!

He won't let you make Western clothes, right?!

Use this to make an Appappa for your Dad.

Then he's certain to give you his permission.

Yes...

Thank you.

Okay!

Grandma!

What are you going to sew?

I can't say yet.

What's that?!

Hurry and dry before Dad comes back.

Oh! That'll do.

So my Dad wouldn't hate wearing it...

...I tried out a lot of ideas.

I'd make it rather long, so that his legs wouldn't stick out much.

Around the neck, I would make it look a little like a kimono.

Done!

Even if I say so myself, the end result turned out charmingly.

Here!

Ohhhhh!

Ala!

Thanks to you, I got it done!

This is really good!

It wouldn't be weird for a man to wear this.

I wonder if I should have my wife make me one, too?

That's true. I want one of these.

Ohara, this is definitely really good.

I'll say that, too.

Thank you.

I did my best!

Ah... This is incredible!

It's something else!

This is way better than any of mine.

Outta the way!

Shoes For Sale

Shoes!?

What is this?!

Kioka!!

What do you mean by shoes? Shoes?!

Ah, ah, ah... Zen-chan!

An explanation! Wasn't it you who said you wouldn't put out shoes!

Well, that's true, but I have to go with the times.

What's this "go with the times" bit?!

Weren't you the one barking that...

"You won't ever catch me riding that?!"

We... well, that's true, but...

Ohara-san, it couldn't be helped.

What's that?

People out in the world are buying shoes far more than they are getas.

We're hardly selling any getas, but the shoes we put up as a test flew off the shelves.

For my husband and family...

...we can't live just clinging to the pride of the Japanese people alone.

When the world changes, so do we.

You. In spite of this woman...

...Zen-chan says some great words!

Zen-chan, sorry! Forgive me! I'll do this!

At last, you've angered me!

Dad!

Dad! Um, this is...

So noisy!

What is it...

Ala. Aren't you going to help out?

Dad.

Um...

...this is something I wanted to give you.

Couldn't that wait 'til later?

Okay? After dinner.

What is this?

An Appappa.

What's that?!

I made it for you to wear.

The fabric is really good, it wouldn't be strange for a man to wear it...

...it's cool in summer and easy to move around in!

Oi!

Get rid of this!

Why?

I wanted Dad to wear it...

Shut up!

Hurry and get rid of it!

Ye... yes.

Yes.

Mom hadn't really gotten rid of it...

...but had hidden it from him instead.

But where, I didn't know.

I wasn't going to lose!

I just had to come up with my next idea.

Thanks for the food!

Thank you.

Hello there!

Yes, welcome!

Well... hot out, ain't it?

It's unreasonably hot.

You're right.

Do you want a yukata?

No, no, I just came to buy tabi today.

Tabi - Japanese socks with a split toe

I see.

Yes.

You say that, but please take a look around.

No, no, this'll do for today. Really.

Huh?

Ah!

Ah... ah...

What's that?

Um, I'm sorry. Um, that's...

Is this an Appappa?

Well, um... I'm sorry. I put it there for a little while yesterday...

I'm sorry.

How much?

That's not for sale.

What's that? It's not for sale?

You fool!

I told you to get rid of it, didn't I?

Yes, um... I'm sorry.

Well, I really do want to buy it.

Eh?

How much?

This is nice. It's exactly what I was looking for.

These would sell very well.

How much?

Well...

50 sen should do.

50 sen!

That's cheap! I'll take it!

Men's Appappa For Sale

All through the summer...

Men's Appappa For Sale

...at the rate of one panel of cloth every two days, I was to turn out Appappas.

That was the condition Dad made in order for me to get his permission to make Western clothes.

Oh, Zen-chan!

Oh!

Ala, Zen-chan! What's that weird thing you're wearing?

Don't you know? That's an Appappa.

An Appappa?

You don't know them?

I've been selling these by the ton today.

They're cool and easy to move around in.

Look!

Looks good on you!

Right?

Ahh... Today's the Bonodori already.

Bonodori - Bon Festival dance

Ah...

Ohara.

Ala, thanks for your hard work.

Is something the matter?

Look...

I'm really sorry 'bout this, but...

Could you...

...quit from this store?
