Whaa!

Yoshiko-chan!

So pretty!

Showa 29 (1954) Fall

Our Tulip Line.

The Dior line that women around the world yearn for.

Having been announced as a new line for this year...

...this is what we call our Tulip Line.

These clothes are very feminine with a shoulder line...

...a raised breast and squeezed waist...

Ohara Dressmaking Store's 1st Annual

Fashion Show

...all creating the silhouette of a beautiful tulip.

Okay! Do your best!

Watanabe-san, how nice!

Good, good.

Okay, you're next.

This is our H Line.

It is in the form of the alphabet letter H.

American Commercial Firm

Kinomoto's Eldest Son Kinomoto Shirō

Sir, Sir...

...can I have a candy?

Yes. Sato-chan, thanks.

Third Daughter Ohara Satoko (11 years old)

Do you have practice on Sunday's, too?

Yeah.

Ah... You go through a lot.

Which'll you have?

Hmm... Grape.

Yes! Here!

Thank you.

Thanks.

In combination with a tight skirt...

Ohara Dressmaking Store

...it gives the impression of a precise finish.

How nice!

Okay! Yoshida-san!

Yoshida-san, your's is always good!

This is our New Look skirt-suit.

The loofah color of the jacket expresses gentleness...

...while the long skirt flares out from a narrow waist...

...like a flower, expressing the very characteristics of femininity.

Ah, Sir.

Oh, Sato-chan, welcome back.

Sir. Do you know what's going on my house?

Ah, a meeting to debut some clothes.

Hmm...

How nice!

Ah!

Fool! Pay attention!

I'm home!

Itoko's Eldest Daughter Ohara Yūko (17 years old)

I'm home!

Welcome home.

We all had fun.

Really? Well, those aren't the only ones I've made.

Really?

So long. Thank you.

Yes, yes, we'll come again.

Thanks, thanks, thank you.

Thank you.

Yūko! Satoko!

You guys come give us a hand!

Yes!

Tell her I'm in the middle of a painting.

Yeah.

You're a big success.

My!

Hello.

What do you want?

I just dropped by to have a look.

Ohara Dressmaking Store having it's first annual Fashion Show should be commemorated.

I don't remember inviting such a braggart of a man.

You always were so sticky and persistent when it comes to old stories like those.

It's bad for your figure.

Say whatever you want.

Until I go in my grave...

...I'll be persistent about that one.

Well then, hurry and enter your grave already.

You enter yours.

Ah, Kitamura-san. Yo!

Ah, it really is!

Whaa, whaa! Look at you guys.

I don't see you for a little while and look at how much you've grown.

We have?

What's with these kids? Growing up here and there.

Ala... Kitamura-san, you've come?

Hello, ma'am. Are you doing well?

Thanks to you.

Thanks.

You didn't...

...need to send that high quality fruit the other day...

Ah, those bananas. They were high quality.

Ah! They were delicious. Thank you for the treat.

They really were very delicious.

Really?

I'm happy to hear that.

Oh, oh, you little ones. You wanna go get something sweet to eat?

Really?!

I'll go, too!

No! They don't need that.

It's okay!

Huh?

I said it was okay.

That's right, that's right. It's okay.

Call for your Onee-chan, too.

Yeah!

I said, no!

It's okay!

Yūko-neechan! Kitamura-san is taking us out for sweets!

Wanna go?!

I'll go!

The music playing here is "I'm an Engineer on the Limited Express"

You guys can pack it away!

Hmm... It's good!

Yo, hello there!

Welcome.

Oh!

The three Ohara daughters.

Good afternoon!

Yo, you're from that electric store?

Huh? That's right.

Has it been tough on the electric store?

Huh?

When I passed by there after a long time, the store had changed.

Oh...

It's an American Commercial Firm.

I got a new start.

American Commercial Firm?

I sell things from America. They're really interesting!

Well, well, what about the Electic Store?

Huh?

I quit that.

You quit it?!

Yeah.

Why?! Electrical stores are growing through the roof right now!

Weren't you making a profit?

Well... But somehow...

...the shape of things didn't become interesting.

Their shape?

Right.

Every radio these days is square shaped.

There were no better colors or shapes coming into the store. I wasn't happy.

I understand.

You understand?

I understand, I understand.

The old style radios were the really good ones!

The ones today are too bright!

You guys still eating?

It's my favorite thing. Taiko's pancakes.

I love 'em, too.

I worked really hard today...

...so I'm starving.

What kind of work?

I was in charge of the music at today's Fashion Show.

Huh?!

That wasn't a big job.

Yūko, have you been studying properly for the exams?

I have.

Where will you be going?

Tokyo's College of Arts.

College of Arts?!

Yeah.

You gonna become a painter?

Hmm...

Well, I'm not sure though.

I'll become one.

Huh?!

I'm gonna become a professional artist.

Huh? Look you...

...that's a naive thing to say.

Naive or whatever, I'm gonna become a professional artist!

Um...

...ain't ya gonna take over in your Mom's line of work?

Definitely not.

Definitely not!

That's the one thing I don't like.

Me, neither.

Why?

Why?

Can't you tell just from looking at our Mom?

From the Bon Festival until New Year's...

...all she does is work morning noon and night.

Until my life is all over...

...I'd hate such a jam-packed job.

Me, too.

Say, Sir.

What is it?

You aren't gonna eat that?

It's yours.

Whaa! Thank you.

No! That's mine!

Don't fight over it, don't fight.

Hey! What are you doing?

Hey! What do you think you're doing?!

Naoko, give it back!

Don't argue. Don't argue!

Don't argue, I said!

That's a bother! It's different, and children like you wouldn't understand.

That's a bother!

It's no such thing!

Hurry and come over with us.

That's a bother, I said!

Grandma's intentionally making the dinner for you!

Their Grandma seems very happy in preparing the food, so please hurry inside!

No, no, no!

Even if you turn around to leave, you'll be brought right back!

Wait, wait! And you're leaving? Have you gone off as a bride?

I haven't left!

A new live-in employee was hired and squeezed me out. I'm in an apartment now.

Enough of that. Hurry inside.

No, no, no I said!

This was an on-going farce since this guy had promised...

...he would have dinner at my house one time since sometime in March.

Delicious!

Just what is this sardine?

Ma'am, you still have the greatest skills.

He praised you.

That's great, isn't it Grandma?

That's not true. The sardines were only good today.

Still saying such things.

It's true.

Your great-grandmother...

...now she was a far greater expert at cooking these. Right?

Hmm...

All she did was cook sardines.

Do you remember your great-grandmother?

I don't.

I only remember her when I'm sleeping.

When I woke up, I remembered her face. She was scary.

But she was kind sometimes.

She was a good Grandma...

All she did was complain, though.

Since the end of the war, ten years had passed.

Be careful. It's suddenly become the cold season, hasn't it?

Ah, thank you. Truly.

Not at all.

Thank you, thank you.

Truly, thank you! Ma'am, it was delicious!

Be careful.

Be careful.

So long!

Make sure to brush your teeth!

All right.

Will you be okay?

I'm fine.

In Showa 29 (1954)...

...I was forty-one years old.

It truly is the cold season.

Ala?

Are you going to work again?

Yeah.

Ala, my, my...

You guys hurry and get over to the public bath.

Yes.

Ah...

Okay!

Now, from here on.
