Ohara Dressmaking Store

Grandma.

It's morning.

Ohara Itoko (72 years old)

Good morning.

I've gotten old.

Hey, Rika!

You get up, too!

Did you hear me?!

I'm seventy-two years old.

Seventy-two years old and busy first thing in the mornings.

G'morning. Please watch over us again for today.

G'morning.

Please watch over us again for today.

Lots of people have died and gone over to the other side.

G'morning.

Please watch over us again for today.

Ala.

Have you fallen over again?

Be steady.

Now that you're dead, don't be so unsteady on your feet.

Nevertheless, though they may have passed on to the other side...

...I'd hate giving up spending time with them...

...so I make offerings to them.

This is delicious!

It's a new pastry from Tadaoka's.

Even so...

...if you happen to think about this knee of mine, have it hang in there a little longer for me, huh?

Be extravagant when you speak of it, okay?

I talk to them about all sorts of things.

Yes, Ohara Dressmaking Store.

Mom...

How's Rika doing?

How's she doing? Nothing's really any different.

She's not causing me any bother.

For an old person like me who's been alone, things are bustling now.

Yūko's Second Daughter Ohara Rika

She...

Tokyo, Yūko's Office

...isn't going out at nights, is she?

At nights?

Dunno... She's here in the mornings, though.

I think she's probably secretly sneaking off.

When she was here, she'd be out night after night on that...

Riding on...

...the back of some motorcycle.

Hmm.

Look, Mom.

Even if she came back now...

...she's missed over half of her mission school.

Still, she could at least...

...go to a public high school and...

Good morning.

G'morning.

Yeah.

I don't know what she was thinking when she suggested going to see you...

...but well, keep an eye on how she's doing and hurry her back to Tokyo, okay?

Now's an essential time for her, after all.

Good morning.

G'morning.

Ah, Kō-chan. You left this here yesterday.

Hey, Mom!

No, no, no.

Mom, are you listening?

Huh? Ah!

Ah. Well, that's difficult to consider.

Huh?

Little ones like her tend to get into things you know.

"Little ones?" Mom, Rika's already fifteen years old!

If she handles things poorly at this point, she'll end up having her entire life wasted!

Huh? Fool!

That's a dangerous way of speaking about little ones like her!

Maybe so, but her life will really be decided over these next three years starting from here!

It won't be decided!

An entire life can't be decided in just three years!

It was just the other day you gave birth to that daughter and she was in diapers.

I think just being able to walk and talk is plenty fine!

G'morning.

Good morning.

Ala, G'morning.

It's done.

It's incredibly good.

Taka-chan.

Yes, yes.

My customers have aged as well.

Already making clothes for the elderly...

...I thought I could go on like this for at most one more year.

But then, since I was enjoying myself, I wanted just one more year.

Ohara Dressmaking Store was now...

...just a slow-and-easy kind of store.

How is it? How is it?

I wonder. Isn't it strange?

It's nice! Like I thought it would be!

It is nice!

Yeah!

Really?

Misae-san, with your fair complexion, this pattern looks very pretty on you.

This suits you quite well.

Isn't it overly showy?

It's not showy at all!

Yamaguchi Takae

It brings out a mature woman's charms.

Well...

I will only do custom-made clothing my entire life.

This feeling will now, in the future and forever, be unchanging.

There's no reason for this store not to be slow and easy...

...nor I not to be slow and easy.

Mizuno Kōji

What then was...

Yes, this is Ohara Dressmaking Store.

Good morning.

Just a moment please.

Sensei.

Sensei!

Huh?

It's Yūko-san.

Hello?

Ah, Mom.

Did the report on yesterday's sales from the Shinsaibashi store reach you?

...this about?

Taka-chan.

Yes?

Yesterday's sales from Shinsaibashi.

Yes.

Well, as ever, those kids of mine are still giving me all sorts of trouble.

Yesterday's sales from Shinsaibashi were 385,000 yen.

385,000 yen.

Yūko Ohara...

...had grown into a first-class famous Brand which already...

...had thirty stores across the entire country.

Anyway, the President and Designer Yūko was busy.

After that...

...we're having a birthday party for Chairman Yoshizawa on the 20th of next month...

...but couldn't you come attend it, Mom?

Because I'll be traveling on that day to Sapporo...

Yeah.

Ah... They really do think I'm always available, so they work me hard.

Yes, Ohara Dressmaking Store.

Ah, G'morning.

Mom, you're coming to see tomorrow's Show, aren't you?

Tokyo, Naoko's Studio

Naoko had succeeded in making a Paris Collection seven years ago.

Since then, it's fine that she's become a famous designer who flys all over the world, but...

Hey, bring that with you. The contract with the Kishiwada Shopping Center.

I just forgot all about it.

...even though she flies about far too much, she's still forever under my feet.

Taka-chan.

Yes.

The contract for the Kishiwada Shopping Center.

Please have it written up by the end of the day.

Ah, understood.

Surprisingly, my first worker is...

Mom, you'll be at Naoko-neechan's Show tomorrow, right?

Umm.

...Satoko, in London.

London, Satoko's Studio

She's too far away...

...to hassle me with her unwanted favors though.

I'm going. Something you want me to tell her?

Yeah. Well, tell her I'm counting on her...

Whaa!

Ah! What is it?

A mouse!

This Satoko had been promoting...

...her own Brand in London for ten years already.

What?! What's it doing?!

I'm scared! I don't believe this!

The one who didn't believe this was me.

Hey! Rika!

You planning on sleeping forever?!

Well then, what looks like a tiger kitten...

...is Yūko's second daughter, Rika...

...who had left her home in Tokyo and had tumbled, unwanted, into my home the day before yesterday.

Wake up!

It's noon, so get up already!

So noisy...

Ah! What a nice day!

Anyhow, it would have been better if you had come last month.

That way you could have seen the danjiri.

How long has it been since you last came to a festival? Huh?

Dunno...

You need to do that.

If you don't see the danjiri, you'll just end up in some gang.

Got nothing to do with me.

Stay here until next year.

That way you can see the danjiri.

It's great... that danjiri.

I couldn't run through the shopping district the way I had in the past...

...so now I just walk through it slowly.

Even so, nothing about the danjiri in the past or now...

...has changed...

...and it still cuts along this road at high speed.

Through the happy times...

...and the painful times.
