Be magnificent.

Think of it as your mission to wear Western clothing...

...while walking with your chest thrown out.

I put on Western clothes and walked with my chest thrown out.

That was Negishi-sensei's first lesson to me.

The most important thing to making Western clothes is "basics."

I will teach you those basics starting today.

Don't miss anything!

If you miss something, there's no going back to it.

Yes!

A kimono is made using straight lines, but Western clothes are made by following the human body.

So you have to take measurements.

It's important to measure the person's body in detail.

Once that's done, then you can begin tailoring clothes that will fit the person.

Yes.

For the next six days after that, I worked frantically.

Divide the width of the bust measurement by half and then add 6cm to that.

Divide bust measurement by half and add 6cm.

In other words, remember to add 6cm to both halves of the bust measurement.

Both halves...

I tried learning all I could as desperately as I could.

Add 6cm.

6cm.

Sa... Ra... Ri... Ii... Ii...

Aa... Na.... Ta... Eh...

No! I taught you that yesterday.

Yesterday?

I told you if you missed anything, we couldn't go back to it, didn't I!

I'm sorry.

Here, re-do it!

Sensei was strict, but...

Yeah! This is good.

If you can make this, then the rest can be done if you apply yourself.

Ah...

You can do it! Once you try, you'll understand that!

Yes.

However...

...I still struggled mightily to learn everything she could teach me.

Here. This is next.

Hello there!

Hello!

Ala, why are you here so early?

Ah, Kansuke here was all excited about coming over to see the beautiful Sensei.

Where's the Sensei? Where is she?

Upstairs.

It's still a little early, but should we go ahead and start already?

Ah Kansuke, you can go up and call for Sensei and Itoko.

She said, "this'll be my last night, so I'll have to finish early today so I can leave."

Yeah, yeah!

Here... it's hot.

Yeah, yeah...

What's that?

This is some curry that I made!

Excuse me!

We brought dinner...

Wrong! Totally wrong!

Now what will you do?! At this rate, you won't finish it by today!

I'm sorry.

Here, re-do it!

How many times do I have to tell you the same thing?!

I'm sorry.

Even so, though the farewell party was thirty minutes late, it had started.

And then next after that I had a billiards store.

Eh? A billiards store?

And to no one's surprise...

...customers never came to it.

My, that was a problem!

Well Sensei, I just laughed through it.

I really did think there for a moment that I'd be poor.

And that I wouldn't get a wife, either.

Now, now, he's not the only such man around here.

Ah, this guy here, he got fired from his factory and works at a Kashiya now.

My, a Kashiya worker!

Yes.

That's... I just don't have much in the way of guts.

The final night we circled around with the Sensei was a really enjoyable night.

Do your best.

I will.

Goodbye.

Goodbye!

Goodbye! Negishi-sensei...

...thank you very much!

I'm back...

Without Negishi-sensei in our home, it was like a light had been switched off...

The dry-goods weren't selling...

And it was the off-season for Appappas.

Dad...

What is it?

Will we be okay without Appappas anymore?

So noisy.

There may be someone who'll buy them.

Dad was in a foul mood.

Going back to our usual way of life...

We increasingly became aware that that was no good for this family.

Let's see...

Whaa! Incredible!

Onee-chan! Onee-chan, come here! It's incredible!

Huh?

What's going on?

This is incredible!

Come here, come here!

Whaa... It's a radio!

Whaa!

Well, it's secondhand...

...but I bought it from Kinomoto.

Incredible! Incredible! It's a radio!

You went and bought into another fad.

Such a bother, such a bother!

Bringing in a radio as a replacement for Negishi-sensei...

...was a first for my Dad...

Listen up. I'm the only one allowed to touch the switch.

For one hour each day only. Got that?

Yes...

...he said with a scary face...

...but that rule fell almost immediately.

In the mornings...

5, 6, 7... Arms to your sides! Yes.

The Suruga's...

During the day, too...

Cha no kaori The scent of the tea

Do you have a numbness in your head...

...and a headache from the very soles of your feet?

And in the evenings, too...

It was on throughout the day.

Please take something for it.

Ohara Dry-goods Store

Ohara Dry-goods Store

Showa 7 (1932)

Two years had passed.

Men's Appappas for sale

Winter Appappas for sale

I was now nineteen.

This winter, Ohara Dry-goods store...

...had pulled the summer use Appappas and put Winter Appappas up for sale.

It was Dad's idea.

However, they didn't sell.

I could now sew Western clothes.

But it would still be a long time before I could sell them in Kishiwada.

After all, there was no one here who wanted such clothes.

And so at that time, all I was sewing were purses and aprons.

Donaikasena donaikasena And praise him, praise him

AA donaikasena the Lord is come

Huh?

So long, I'll be going.

Yes, be careful.

Have a nice day!

Yeah!

Where's Dad going?

To a customer.

He won't be back for awhile, right?

Dunno. I wonder how long?

Hey! Your father will get angry.

He won't say anything if he doesn't know.

There was a fire...

...at the department store Kuroda in Tokyo in the Ginza district around 9:15 am today...

...in which thirteen shoppers and shop assistants died.

Thirty other people were injured with burns.

Ala, that's scary.

The fire department, upon receiving the emergency message...

That was my first news of an ordinary fire.

Ah...

It's about that fire at the Kuroda store again.

A warning to women going out Hems in the shopgirls' wardrobe got caught during the riot, leading to their deaths

But for some reason, this case...

...was solely being discussed in the family column of the newspaper.

I wondered as I read it...

"Ever since the Kuroda fire..."

"...many share the view that the shopgirls' uniforms should be in Western clothes..."

"...and I agree as well."

Huh?

"During an evacuation..."

"...I worry about the many instances where young women's hems get caught during a riot like that..."

"...causing them to trip on the ropes and leading to a tragedy."

"And I keep wishing for some improvement so these tragedies don't keep recurring."

Calm down...

This is an important thing.

Let me think.

Ah, Grandma, I'm going out.

Ala?

Where are you going in such a rush?

To Shinsaibashi.

Shinsaibashi?!

I'm going to look for department stores.

I'm off!

What I had just thought of...

...was something no one had thought up before.

Not in Kishiwada...

Not in Shinsaibashi...

No, not even in Osaka...

I was the first person who had thought this up!

Found it.

A department store!
