Director Suenaga Hajime

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

Showa 5 (1930)

Could you quit from this store?

Eh?

I'm sorry.

Why?

What is it?

The sewing machine?

Is it because I'm using the sewing machine too much?

No, no, that's not...

I'm sorry, I didn't realize! I'll stop right away.

I was making Appappas and causing trouble for this store...

No! You're wrong!

Sit down.

Do you know about the depression?

Ah...

It's like no one in the world...

...can make money any more...

Yeah.

This current depression is a serious one.

To be honest, my store might not make it through, either.

Unless I let someone go, I may not make it.

But...

...I don't want to fire a married man.

It's bad to have to do it in order of turn...

...but you're the one.

I'm sorry!

It wasn't anyone's fault.

I was under your care...

You worked hard.

Forgive us...

It wasn't anyone's fault.

Fired?

Yeah.

Ohara Itoko

But...

It's not the store's fault.

It's this depression.

Itoko's Grandmother Ohara Haru

Itoko's Father Ohara Zensaku

Can't be helped.

That's right.

Yes, that's right.

Those were the only words Mom could say.

Itoko's Mother Ohara Chiyo

You're great. You worked hard.

It looked as if Dad and Grandma had their minds on other things.

You're great, you're great. Yeah.

What they were thinking about was...

Men's Appappa For Sale

...our household budget.

Listen.

You need to find a job as quickly as possible.

Yeah.

Do you know why I let you quit the Girl's School...

...and go to work at that patch store?

That was... because I was so serious about it?

No!

Eh?

It was for the money.

Eh?!

Listen.

You've already had your hand at working for awhile now.

So I'm gonna speak frankly to you.

That's okay...

It'd be a pain having to think too much about you.

Because you quit the Girl's School and freed up your tuition fees...

...Shizuko could go to the Girl's School.

Because you were getting a salary for working at the patch store...

...Kyoko is able to go.

And because we were selling Appappas...

...next year Mitsuyo could go, too.

With this...

...if there's no salary or Appappas...

...what do think will happen?

Kyoko and Mitsuyo won't be able to go...

That's right!

You got it!

I can use a sewing machine. I'll do anything!

Tailor Okabe

We aren't hiring.

Please! I'll do any kind of odd jobs.

No, no way. Look elsewhere.

I'm busy.

I know, I know. This.

Kinomoto Electrical Store

Check!

Oh!

Didn't see that one coming!

Wa, wa, wai... wait.

Ah, Itoko!

Huh? What is it?

A young man has come to visit you.

A young man?

Who?

Well...

...do you have that sort of person?

"That" sort of person?

Well...

You, geez!

Yamaguchi-san?!

Patch Worker Yamaguchi

Yo!

What are you doing here?

Eh, ah... A sympathy visit.

A sympathy visit?

You got fired, didn't you?

So you came to ridicule me?

No... I wouldn't do that.

Come, Itoko.

Huh?

What is it?

Speak with him somewhere else.

Eh?

If your father finds out about this, it could get complicated again.

Huh?

Look, about the Big Boss.

Ah.

Truth is...

...rather than you, I think I should've been the one fired.

Huh?

I'm...

...positive of it.

You can do that job far better than I can.

That's not...

I do think so, though.

And yet...

...you're the one who got fired.

Eh? How did this happen?

I don't know!

It's cause you're a woman.

Eh...

'Cause I'm a man, it was easier for them to fire you.

Well, that might be so.

Oi. You should be more frustrated about this!

Huh?

Even though you could do the job better than me...

...just because you're a woman, you got fired first?!

I know that! I don't need to be told that!

THIS is what this guy wanted to say?!

Don't lose.

Yes.

So long.

Um...

Huh?

Could it be... that's what you came to tell me?

No!

Up until now, I hadn't really read a newspaper before...

Serious Depression in Rural Areas

...but on that day alone...

Significantly Reduced Depression's Affects on Society

Severe Depression

...there were 36 articles about the depression.

Depression's Impact

Ah!

Ah... I can't read this at night.

I'll read it in the morning.

The morning!

Ah!

G'morning!

G'morning!

Oh.

Are you two going to school already?

That's right. Yesterday was the end of summer break.

I see...

Okay, itadakimasu!

Itadakimasu!

Second Daughter Shizuko

Third Daughter Kyoko

Since it was the end of summer, we wouldn't be able to sell Appappas anymore.

Fourth Daughter Mitsuko

I had to hurry and do something.

I was thinking of going to Natsuki-michi today.

I see.

Yeah.

I'll be going.

Yeah.

Get going.

Get going.

I'll be off.

Be careful.

Hey there! Ito-chan around?

She's gone.

What's this? Gone somewhere? Didn't she get fired from the patch store?

She's out looking for a new job.

Ahh..

Look...

Huh?

...the world isn't all filled with frivolous and foolish people like you, you know.

Hmm... I see.

Kinomoto Eisaku

And I was thinking I could show her something really interesting, too...

Just a minute!

Huh?

Sensei, how is it?

Ala, welcome back.

Yes.

This should work, shouldn't it? If we put the sewing machine here.

Oh, I see. That should do!

I would sit here and the customers will be on this side.

I could then show them how to use the sewing machine.

Ah, could I ask your wife to help me out during that time with various things?

Eh, me?

Of course! Please make use of her!

That will be a big help! Please work with me.

Ah, Sensei.

Ohara-san's daughter is able to use a sewing machine, too.

Eh? My, how old is your daughter?

Eh? Ah, yes...

She's sixteen... Eh?

Is she seventeen now?

My, seventeen, huh? Young and great. Does she have an interest in Western clothes?

Well Sensei, Ohara-san's place is a kimono store...

...so Western clothes are prohibited...

Don't say unnecessary things.

If you're store is in dry-goods, you'll have increasingly good prospects for the future.

I have seen a great many young women being raised in nice kimonos.

Well that's right. You've got a keen eye on you.

I have studied Western dressmaking.

Negishi Ryōko

Therefore I still have a great deal to learn yet about kimonos.

But not only in kimonos.

I've gone to a lot of trouble learning Nihonbuyō and Noh chanting.

Nihonbuyo - traditional Japanese dance

Noh chanting?

Noh?

You're in luck Sensei, Ohara-san would be happy to teach you that.

Eh?

Ohara-san is our Noh Sensei.

My! Really?

Yes, I can.

If you'd like, please come to my home.

My home is... is... over there.

I'm so happy to have you say that.

Kinomoto Electrical Store

That day, Negishi-sensei would perform a sale demonstration of the sewing machine...

...until 5 o'clock that evening.

Whaa! That's incredible...

By the time I drudgingly returned back home...

...it would be over in just fifteen minutes more.

It's goes so smoothly and simply, doesn't it?

She's a Sensei in Western dressmaking.

Ah... Just what you'd expect of a westernized person like her.

She's from Tokyo...
