Huh? Haraguchi-sensei?!

From Tokyo?

Eh? What is it?

Ala, ala!

Well, because the opportunity came up,

Haraguchi Takeshi

I thought I would be presumptuous and drop by for a visit.

Well, well, please come on in. We don't have anything for you though.

Don't have anything.

Nothing at all.

I already said that.

Oh!

How wonderful!

You've arranged for some top-class fabrics here!

You CAN tell!

Well, saying this may sound impertinent of me...

...but I decided my store would only deal in the very best fabrics.

Originally it was a kimono dry-goods shop, wasn't it?

Ah... That's true... My Dad's.

It was a dry-goods store and anyhow dealt in fabrics...

...so I thought I should keep some of that spirit within it.

Hmm... I see!

Yes!

I wonder why?

Why would he come expressly from Tokyo...

Eh?

Eh? It can't be!

Even so, Yūko is still far too young to be sent out as a bride.

Sent out as a bride?

Who?

And the age difference between her and Haraguchi-sensei is...

Grandma, what are you talking about?

Nao-chan...

Huh?

Could it be...

This may be my misunderstanding, though.

Yeah.

I couldn't be he's come to propose marriage, is it?

Huh?!

Well, you're crying. Why? Why are you crying?

Nao-chan!

Well... all of you!

Please remember this well.

The power of this thing called "design"...

...is already an incredible thing.

Yes, Sensei!

It was because I'm interested in design, too, that I went and quit my electrical store.

Oh, you did!

Yūko may have gone overboard about him...

...but it's true this Haraguchi-sensei is a very good Sensei.

Ah, I see!

You're saying you did so...

...because electrical products recently haven't been pursuing beauty.

That's it!

They aren't pursuing anything like beauty anymore!

Yeah!

Yeah!

By it's very nature...

...beauty does not come from excessively decorated things.

It is when the object itself takes whichever shape that is necessary for it to take. Right?

From here on, you can't look only at just what's around you.

You must have a wide field of vision. Right!

American designs are nice, aren't they?

But I can't take my eyes off of Europe.

French designs.

There's something wonderful in those.

Italy is more nonchalant.

Therefore from here on, Japanese designers...

Ala...

...what's the time?

Ala! It's already 2 am!?

Haraguchi-sensei...

...please spend the night with us.

No, no, no, no. There's no need for that. I'd be troubling you.

Still, you wouldn't be able to catch a train at this hour...

Well...

Well, good night.

Ah, good night.

Oh! What's this?

Sensei?

This... Who was it that drew this?

Ah...

That would be my second daughter. Naoko drew it.

That daughter?

Yes.

Ah, it's you! You painted this?

Yes.

Ah...

Look, you go ahead and talk about this, right!

Yeah.

Could you show me some of your other drawings?

Sure. Here.

Oh! Yeah!

In the end, Naoko and Haraguchi-sensei...

...were up until morning discussing her paintings.

Ohh...

Is that it?

It is.

I don't think it's dangerous, so when it's only something like this...

...I hate having to call for a craftsman...

No, no, no, no. This can be fixed.

Good morning.

Oh! You've come at a good time.

Naoko-san, you have a painting knife, don't you?

What are you going to do once you get out of high school?

I'm going to art school.

Art school, huh...

Yes.

Still, if you're going to follow in your mother's footsteps...

...isn't going to art school taking a big detour?

Eh?

Like your Nee-san, it would be faster for you to go directly to a clothing vocational school.

I don't want to succeed her.

You don't want to?

That's right. I want to become a painter.

Ah... I see.

That's too bad.

You love drawing more than clothes, huh?

Well...

I didn't mean that, but...

Nee-chan's already set to succeed to the store.

Really.

I see.

Then, if you won't succeed to it, how about setting up your own store?

Eh?

That would be just as cool.

Sensei...

Huh?

If I went to Tokyo...

...would you teach me?

Yeah.

Sure.

Please take care of Yūko.

Yes.

Then, excuse me.

I couldn't tell if Naoko...

...was really happy and was smiling or if she was angry...

At the time, I just couldn't tell which it was.

At last, I finally found out that evening.

Mom.

Yes?

Once I graduate from high school...

...please let me go to Tokyo!

Huh?

I'd like to enter the same school as Onee-chan...

...and receive guidance from Haraguchi-sensei.

Huh?!

Please!

Well I guess...

That's fine.

That was the time she was smiling.

What's with you guys!?

Weren't you two saying...

..."Even if I died, I wouldn't want to succeed Mom?"

Even so, think hard about this.

It'll be surprisingly hard to work alongside your Onee.

Making a u-turn like that into the same arena...

...you may find relatives turning into mutual enemies.

You and your Onee...

...might find yourself in competition with one another some day.

I don't care.

Do you think you'd enjoy breaking up like that?

I... wouldn't enjoy it...

Not enjoy it, but...

...it'd be interesting.

Eat it already!

Thank you!

Eat up! Just say that you want it. Eat all you want.

Take this.

I don't need that, fool.

Showa 33 (1958) New Year's Day

Eat some of these beans.

Here.

I was able to cook some good things this year.

Here.

Itadakimasu.

Go ahead.

Yeah. This is delicious!

Yum, it's good!

Eat more.

Yeah.

Here!

Here!

Here!

Here!

Here!

Shizuko's Eldest Daughter Ritsuko

Here!

Here!

Whaa!

Ritsu-chan, you're really good at this.

Shizuko's Eldest Son Masahiko

Here!

Here!

Huh?

No, that would be a problem!

You shouldn't have decided such a thing on your own!

What problem can there be?

You and your sister can live together.

And not having to pay rent for two separate places in Tokyo is money in my pocket.

Well, we could move you to a slightly larger apartment than you have now.

The thing is...

...weren't you going to become a painter?!

Before she knew it, she'd changed her mind.

Why start dressmaking now!?

Making dresses is my path!

You aren't the only person who can take that path.

You should get along and aim for it together.

No...

No...

Definitely not!

Huh?

What is it you don't like?

Nee-chan, see...

Huh?

She's scared I'm a genius.

Huh?

Huh?!

When Yūko laughs, Naoko cries.

When Naoko laughs, Yūko cries.

Dad, Grandma, Masaru-san.

Don't let this get out of hand...
