Ohara Zensaku Kobayashi Kaoru

Grandpa!

Oh... Yū-chan.

You start elementary school today?

Yeah.

Showa 18 (1943) April

Come show more of that to Grandpa.

Ohh...

Are elementary schoolchildren going to school dressed like that these days?

That's right. Mom made it for me.

Ehh...

That's so, but it seems a little baggy.

Mom said, "That's fine." "You'll grow into it right away."

Couldn't you make it fit her more exactly somehow?

She'll grow into it right away.

When she does gets bigger, you can just make it bigger for her then.

I'm too busy for that.

Fool!

What other reason is her mother in a clothing shop for?

You should make your children's clothing fit perfectly!

That's right.

Say, can I cut Yūko's hair?

Huh?

Doing up her hair in braids each and every morning is a pain...

...so I want to bob her hair like Naoko's instead.

No.

Why not!?

Bobbed hair is fine for a child. It seems the best way.

So noisy!

No means no!

And cutting it on your own...

I won't agree to that.

Right, Yūko-chan?

Since he's gotten better, all he does is gripe and gripe from first thing in the morning...

I was happier when he was worn-out and sleeping and being quiet.

Yū-chaaan! Take care!

Well, it was truly accursed of me to say that...

...when Dad's condition had come to this point at long last though.

It was just then that he became eager to try and move around again...

...and do something dangerous.

Onsen?

Onsen - Hot springs

The Yamagiwa Onsen in Ishikawa Prefecture.

Yasushi went there for a visit the other day...

...and it seems it's a great place.

"Zen-san can use the baths as he wants, eat lots of good foods..."

"...and recuperate there nicely," he said.

Sounds good. Let's go.

Eh?!

This is a good season for it. We're just in time.

Well, maybe so, but Ishikawa Prefecture's a little far away.

What'll you do you if you push your health too far again?

No! Staring into space around this house is just making me depressed and sick.

Since onsen are effective against scabies, it's like killing two birds with one stone. Let's go.

Really?

Okay then! Should we invite Kinomoto and Okunaka as well?

Yeah, invite them, invite them! Sounds like fun!

An onsen?

Yeah.

No, no, no way!

Here he is recovering nicely...

...and now he wants to do something reckless again and the same thing'll happen!

For pete's sake, geez...

Dad!

You can't go to the onsen...

Kurogane Road Plan

Kioka Footwear Store

Stop this.

What would we do if something happened again?

Still...

Dad...

...had this really happy look on his face when he was sleeping earlier.

Right? When I was talking to him earlier...

...he looked and laughed like the Zen-chan of old.

I really thought, "Okay! He should definitely go."

I'm telling you, stop this!

Dad! What are you doing?

Pasting in the clothes tickets.

That's okay; you don't need to. Go get some sleep.

No.

This is my job.

He was completely the way he used to be.

Both his countenance and hands were reliable.

Since he is doing so well, it may be best not to forcibly stop him.

Can't be helped...

Well...

...at least this would substitute for a charm.

I would sew my Dad a new National Uniform.

G'morning!

Oh, g'morning!

Wai... wait. Eh? Are those new clothes?

Itoko sewed them for me.

Ehh!

For her Dad's trip?

That's some filial piety there!

This here's pure wool.

Eh? Pure wool?

Whaa! Just like Ito-chan.

Well, you can't even get pure wool these days!

That's right. I guess she is the daughter of a Western clothing shop.

Ah... that's true.

Hold on. Where's his shoes?

Shoes, shoes.

Where's your shoes?

Oi.

What's this? Dad, huh? What is it?

Nothing...

Huh? What is it?

Well...

Eh?

These... are some fine goods.

Ah, I see...

That was it?

Ah... Well... Um...

There was something I haven't told you yet.

What is it?

It's that...

I'm grateful for the clothes.

Ah... What the...

That's okay!

Having you tell me you're grateful just makes me embarrassed.

Ah, that's right. Here!

What's this? Tea, huh?

Not tea. It's water.

It's your favorite rice water.

Oh! You were still holding on to some of that?

I had some set aside.

Oh!

Thank you.

Thank you, Itoko.

Oi! Oi, oi!

I got this great farewell gift!

You should say, "thank you."

When given liquor, he should quietly say, "thank you."

Like I thought, he's far happier over the liquor than he is over the clothes I made him...

Sincerely, please be careful.

Got it.

Please watch over my Dad.

If you would please.

Have a nice time.

So long, we're off!

Get going!

So long!

Get going!

Be careful!

Get going! Be careful!

Get going, Grandpa! Have a nice time!

So long!

Ohara Western Clothing Store Shopkeeper: Ohara Itoko

This is...

Who wrote this?

Masa-chan?

Yes?

Were you the one who wrote this?

Huh?

I can't write like that.

It's Zensaku's.

Dad's?

Yeah. No mistake about it. Those are Zensaku's characters.

Eh...

Dad...

I wonder when he wrote this?

Ohara Western Clothing Store Shopkeeper Ohara Itoko

"Ohara Western Clothing Store..."

"...Shopkeeper..."

"Ohara Itoko"

I felt for the first time...

...that my Dad had acknowledged me.

Ohara-san, telegram!

Yes!

Here, your telegram.

Thank you for your hard work.

Excuse me.

Ohara Itoko-sama Kishiwada, Kenmachi

Zensaku critically ill at Sugukoi

Calm down...

First off, what is this?

"Sugukoi" is from...

...the first train in the morning.

That's right...

I need to find out what the address of that Ryokan was.

Ryokan - Japanese hotel or inn

Obaa-chan?

Ahh...

That's right...

Ala?

What is it?

That's right. Isn't Ohara-san going to the onsen right now?

But I just spoke with him.

What?

Huh?

What did my Dad tell you?

"Ask Itoko..."

"...to take care of things," he said...

Wait...

Wait...

Wait!

Don't go! Dad!

Wait...

Wait for me, Dad!

Wait! Don't go!

Dad!

Wait for me, Dad!

Dad, don't go!

Don't go!

Showa 18, April 27th.

Dad!

Age at death...

Fifty-nine.
