Serial TV Story

There was a fire at the department store Kuroda in Tokyo in Ginza around 9:15am today...

Showa 7 (1932) December

...in which thirteen shoppers and shop assistants died. Thirty other people were injured with burns.

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

At the end of that year, there was a fire at a department store in Tokyo.

What's this? Who clipped this out of here?!

Ah, Itoko had that earlier...

"Ever since the Kuroda fire..."

"...there are many with the view that the shopgirl uniforms should be in Western clothes..."

The moment I read that, it was like the fire was there in my head.

Ah, Grandma, I'm going out.

My target was department stores!

I had never yet entered a department store before...

Which is the way in...

Director Suenaga Hajime

Thank you very much.

Shinsaibashi Department Store

Thank you very much.

Welcome.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Welcome.

Kimonos with aprons.

Okay!

They don't have Western clothes here yet!

Um, excuse me.

Yes?

I am Ohara Itoko.

I'm a dressmaking seller in Kashiwada.

Ah...

I've come to talk about your uniforms.

Could you let me meet with your President?

Ah, that was really interesting, wasn't it?!

Going up. Going up.

Going up.

Unfortunately, the President isn't here right now, but the Manager will see you.

Yes. Thank you.

Come in.

I have brought her.

Yes.

Go in.

Good afternoon.

Well, come in, come in.

Yes. Ala?

Ala?

Let's see...

Manager Hanamura Kiichi

Um, you're Ohara-san of the Western clothing shop?

That's me.

You?!

Yes...

Yes, yes...

And?

What business do you have with me?

I wanted to make the uniforms for your clerks here.

Huh?!

Since the Kuroda Department store fire in Tokyo...

...public opinion has been rising that clerks should wear western-style uniforms.

Ah, I know about that.

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

You could also say that department store uniforms...

...need to flow with the times.

They should move well and be hygienic, just like the times.

I want to make new uniforms for you.

I was trained under the guidance of Negishi Ryōko-sensei of Tokyo.

I have confidence in my skills.

Please look at this example!

I was in a bit of a rush, so it's a little disheveled, but...

I see, I understand! Yes, yes!

Eh?

Yes!

You can go now.

Well, I haven't finished talking to you yet.

You're finished.

We won't be asking you for this.

Why not?!

"Why..."

Well, it is true...

...there have been voices within our store saying our uniforms need to be changed eventually.

However...

...a department store uniform is like the face of the store itself.

If we were to make a new face for our store...

...then we would also make a new uniform for it.

We couldn't ask you for that.

Why couldn't you ask me for that?

"Why..."

That's obvious, isn't it?

We couldn't possibly leave such an important matter to some unknown girl...

...who happened to pop in with one piece of wrinkled clothing with her, now could we?

Don't be so naive.

We would have to get a trusted dressmaking shop with a fine track record to do it.

We would ask them.

I understand fully.

Goodbye.

You're right. I'm sorry...

Yes.

Can I ask one thing?

Make it short.

Um...

What would be the most important thing for this new look in your uniforms?

That would be, well, the design.

Design.

Yeah.

Well, you could say like the features on a person's face.

A design with a strength to it that would, at a glance, make one think, "Ah, that's nice."

Thank you!

Yes.

Thank you.

Yes.

Thank you!

Design! Yaeko-san, design!

Design!

What are you talking about?

What is this "design?" Design!

What's this about?

Design!

Young Women's World

Young Women's World

Young Women's World

Say...

Young Women's World

I like this girl.

Items that could look good on anyone...

How is it?

Hmm... Say, how about this?

No good?

Shouldn't a department store uniform fit more precisely?

Well, it wouldn't do if they were too precise.

Hmm... It's difficult.

Rather than "Young Women's World," it might be better to search through these.

You may not like it since it's just a scrapbook I made, though...

Ah, lemme look, lemme look!

You don't need to look. You keep looking at "Young Women's World."

Why? It's okay.

Ito-chan!

Huh?

Want to eat a meal?

No, no. I ate at my house.

Hmm... Don't be reserved.

Thank you.

Say...

Is this one good?

This one's good, isn't it?!

Say...

Huh?

Is this one any good?

Hmm?

Which one?

Here.

Ah, you're right. That's a good one.

Right?

Which one, which one? Lemme see, lemme see.

Ah, you're right!

Yes, that is a good one!

It's good! It's good!

It's a nice article that would look good on anyone.

Yeah, yeah.

Ito-chan, you should do this one.

Yeah!

Did I just hit your nose?

Ah...

Oi, let me take a look.

I'm fine... So long!

Oi, your nose is bleeding.

Ah... It's just a runny nose.

Ohara Dry-goods Store

I drew ten drawings over the course of the night...

...and would try back first thing in the morning.

This time around, they would have confidence in me!

Good morning.

Welcome.

Good morning!

Thank you for yesterday!

Ah... hello.

Is the Manager in?

Ah, he is in, but...

Please let me see him. There's something I want to show him.

Ah... Ah, eh, but...

I'm sorry, but yesterday after you left, the Manager scolded me...

Eh?

"Don't just simply guide anyone who asks up here," he told me.

Why?

I'm sorry...

Very well.

Then, I'll just wait until he comes down.

Eh?

He won't stay in his office forever, will he?

Ah, well, that's true.

He comes down sometimes to look around the store, doesn't he?

That's right.

What time does he come down?

Thank you very much.

Going up. Going up.

Going up.

Ah! Um, um! Excuse me!

Ah.

Thank you for yesterday.

Ah. Ah, no, no, thank you, too.

I've drawn them!

Huh?

Designs!

Ah...

At a place like this... Some other time...

Ah, wait, wait, wait!

Just look! Just a quick look!

These turned out wonderfully!

What a problem... geez.

Here you are!

This won't work.

It won't work?

It won't work.

Where? Where doesn't it work?

"Where...?" Where...

Ah, wait, wait, wait.... Where?

Ah, wait, why...

Please tell me! What doesn't work?

Please tell me! I'll correct whatever doesn't work.

Don't be so irresponsible, geez!

You're too naive.

Isn't it your job to consider what's wrong with them?

Yes.

I'm sorry...

You're right. That's my job.

My primary point is that these are ordinary.

Because you asked just now what I thought was wrong with them...

...I walked back to tell you.

Yes.

Things like those may not be too bad.

But that doesn't make them any good, either. They're nothing out of the ordinary.

If you gathered ten dressmaking sellers other than you, nine of them would have drawn these.

This sort of standard stuff is useless to us.

Yes.

Ah, that was refreshing!

Thank you!

No, no, no, that was nothing.

Look, I've turned you down.

Don't bring those anymore. Got it!

I wasn't going to listen to that part.

Just you watch...
