心を育てているのね

Kokoro o sodatete iru no ne

That's how a heart is raised, isn't it

It's not bad...

There's nothing wrong with it.

It's narrow here and spreads out lightly.

It shows off a woman's most beautiful form.

Even so...

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Um... I'd like to have a sack dress made.

Ah, ah, a sack dress.

This.

Sack Dress

Please leave it to us.

Sensei! If you would please.

Yes!

This is our third order today for a sack dress since this morning.

Really? They're very popular, huh?

Yeah.

I want to hurry and wear one, too...

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Please make me a sack dress.

Yes, yes, please leave your sack dress to us.

This way.

It's the first time I've been this insecure.

Still... It's not bad at all.

I'd want one of these.

Well, even so...

...the number of orders for sack dresses...

...have doubled this week...

...and yesterday they were more than 80% of the total.

I've... misread this.

Sack dresses reached Osaka a whole lot faster than I thought they would.

Hmm...

How... How much stock did you get in the end?

100 rolls, for 250,000 yen.

Right now Kitamura is running them around to the wholesalers...

...but I don't think they'll sell.

Ah...

I may have done that.

Well, now, now. Say, Ito-chan...

...you mustn't brood.

You don't know yet whether it's hopeless or not; you can get it back again. Right?

Well, even so...

The biggest shock to me was...

Huh?

That I felt sack dresses weren't any good at all.

The shining eyes of...

...a young designer...

...and that my own eyes aren't shining.

I've...

...fallen behind the fashion world.

I was mistaken.

Oi, have you ever teased a cat?

Tease them? How?

Like rubbing them backwards.

Why would you tease them?

You shouldn't do such things.

I couldn't be a man unless I teased them!

Even so, to tease them...

How was it?

It was rough!

Every kind of pretty cat is rough like that.

You shouldn't do that.

Welcome back.

Welcome home.

Yo.

What's this? Since when did you come again?

Look, you eat, too.

I guess I'll just have to tease them until the end...

...as a man.

But it's strange to tease them.

It's okay!

Given the tone of his boasting...

...he wasn't going to talk about business at all.

I was freaked out. I was really surprised at that.

They aren't selling.

How did you know?

I just know.

For three days I went around to fifteen of the bigger places and was totally shot down.

From the smaller places...

...I was harshly told the design was "old-fashioned," and "behind the times."

The amount that's left over...

I'll buy all of it.

Huh?

This is my responsibility.

Don't try to be so cool.

You're just the head of a tiny Kishiwada woman's dress shop...

We mutually share the loss and the pain. That's fine.

I'm the one who was naive.

I'll study...

...and start over from scratch.

You really...

...didn't do anything wrong.

Forgive me.

I'll even do this.

Whaa! Wha, wha, wha, wha!

You're giving me the creeps here!

I don't want to see this great thing.

No, no, something this big can only be cleansed away by drinking.

Go on...

Ah, no, no!

Sōrya sōrya sōrya sōrya sōrya!

Sōrya sōrya sōrya sōrya sōrya!

Is this for our guests?

That's it, that. Please take those three out.

Yeah.

I had been contacted by Naoko...

...that she would be coming back home with some friends for the summer vacation.

With a small amount of salad oil, kneed the meat into two portions...

Ah, eh? Ala, my...

Our guests were to be the three boys we'd heard about...

...and Mom was greatly excited again.

Then switching it from the palm of one hand to the other...

Ah, ah...

I was thinking hamburger and tonkatsu...

Tonkatsu - fried pork cutlets

...and after that, unagi and sushi.

Unagi - eel

That's too much.

Maybe so, but there are three men coming.

They're both men and college students, aren't they?

Boiled potatoes in broth should be enough.

No, no, I can't do that!

I don't want such young boys...

...starving to death in my home.

Won't happen!

That won't happen!

No matter what we said...

...Mom had no intention of listening to us.

You plan on feeding them all this?

Kōgen ressha wa La La... yukuyo On the Kōgen train, La La... Let's go!

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon!

Welcome...

Ala.

Excuse me... Nice to meet you.

We're Naoko-san's classmates from Tokyo...

Ah! Welcome!

Hello!

Sensei! Sensei!

Yes!

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Ah... My, my...

Welcome!

Ala?

Eh... Where's Naoko?

Ah, when we went past the shoe store there...

...the owner came out to chat and so she told us to go on ahead.

I see.

Well, welcome after coming so far!

Well, come on in!

Come in, come in!

Ah, this Genta seems a bit like a potato.

And then this Yoshimura-kun seems a little like an adult...

...while Ozawa-kun seems gentle.

They're all nice boys.

I'm home.

I'm home.

Could it be...

Eh?

Are you Naoko?

I'm home.

You are Naoko!?

Nao-chan?!

Yeah.

Ah, do you guys still have your luggage?

Come this way. second floor. We'll put them up on the second floor.

Excuse our disturbance.

What was that?

What the...?

What on earth is going on?! Eh!?

Eh...

Eat up... We don't have anything, though.

Don't feel reserved.

It's an apparition.

An apparition is eating the Tonkatsu...

By the way, um, Ma'am.

Eh?

Is it true that you work by draping?

Draping?

Um Mom, it's the way you make clothes.

Look, you hold the fabric directly up against the customer and then cut it, right?

Ah...

So that's called "draping?"

We're just learning to practice at draping now.

It's rarely done by people domestically...

...but in Paris that's mostly the mainstream way of doing it.

Ehh...

When Pierre Cardin visited Japan the other day, he gave a demonstration of it.

It's also been newly introduced to one of our classes...

...as being a very rational way of doing it.

Ehh...

That you started off by being self-taught...

...is really incredible!

You must be a genius!

Right?!

No, no, I don't deserve such praise.

I was just impatient.

That's not true.

Being truly self-taught and being taught in classes is different, isn't it?

Yes.

And...

...I stop here.

There.

If this is cut straight it won't be any good.

I see...

It should be at a slight slant. It'll be turned to back cloth later.

This is...
