1
00:00:02,602 --> 00:00:03,902
Look at that.

2
00:00:04,804 --> 00:00:06,839
She looks like a bride.

3
00:00:10,377 --> 00:00:14,213
Kano-ya's grand mistress,
Yono, passed away.

4
00:00:19,486 --> 00:00:20,552
I'm home.

5
00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:22,855
You came home?

6
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:26,725
In Wakayama, Yonosuke
returned home safely.

7
00:00:26,726 --> 00:00:28,427
Welcome home.

8
00:00:28,428 --> 00:00:31,630
In Tokyo, the first women's
university in Japan which

9
00:00:28,428 --> 00:00:31,630
{\an8}HINODE WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY

10
00:00:31,631 --> 00:00:36,235
Asa had supported,
was finally established.

11
00:00:38,271 --> 00:00:42,941
Congratulations on your entrance
to Hinode Women's University,

12
00:00:42,942 --> 00:00:49,214
the first women's university
in Japan.

13
00:00:50,817 --> 00:00:51,850
However...

14
00:00:51,851 --> 00:00:53,352
Shinjiro! This is terrible!

15
00:00:53,353 --> 00:00:57,122
Namba Bank and Nanajukyu Bank
suspended payments...

16
00:00:57,924 --> 00:01:00,926
This is going to turn into
a big run on the banks.

17
00:01:02,462 --> 00:01:05,597
Does that mean that it's
just as Asa predicted?

18
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:12,471
I need the department heads
and supervisors to gather here...

19
00:01:12,472 --> 00:01:13,939
Send a wire to all
of our branches.

20
00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:15,941
I need to contact Asa
in Tokyo right away.

21
00:01:15,942 --> 00:01:17,009
Okay.

22
00:01:20,313 --> 00:01:22,114
The Osaka financial panic...

23
00:01:22,782 --> 00:01:24,950
The biggest crisis since the
Meiji Restoration was

24
00:01:24,951 --> 00:01:28,287
about to descend on Osaka.

25
00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:36,100

Ume... Young Miss...
Good morning.

42
00:03:16,429 --> 00:03:17,763
Good morning.

43
00:03:17,797 --> 00:03:20,265
What are you doing out
so early in the morning?

44
00:03:20,833 --> 00:03:22,234
We're just.

45
00:03:23,136 --> 00:03:28,140
Her fiancé, Keisuke, is coming on
the first train this morning,

46
00:03:28,141 --> 00:03:30,175
so we're out here
waiting for him.

47
00:03:31,578 --> 00:03:34,546
How nice... It's such
a nice morning.

48
00:03:35,548 --> 00:03:36,582
Hey!

49
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:38,884
Is the bank president in?

50
00:03:39,419 --> 00:03:41,653
We're not open yet.

51
00:03:41,654 --> 00:03:44,156
Is this bank in
danger, too?

52
00:03:45,792 --> 00:03:48,060
I heard that Namba Bank
went bankrupt...

53
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:50,062
Are you all planning
to run off, too?

54
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:51,129
No...

55
00:04:00,573 --> 00:04:01,773
This is no good.

56
00:04:02,675 --> 00:04:04,810
The backlash from Namba
Bank has finally hit us, too.

57
00:04:05,511 --> 00:04:08,914
Depositors have shown up
at all the banks in Osaka.

58
00:04:10,183 --> 00:04:11,683
How could this happen?

59
00:04:12,352 --> 00:04:16,021
Last year there was a big
battle in China...

60
00:04:16,022 --> 00:04:18,690
Trade between China and
Japan has stopped.

61
00:04:18,691 --> 00:04:21,426
So the Osaka merchants who
were making money because

62
00:04:21,427 --> 00:04:24,763
of that trade suddenly lost
their source of income.

63
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:30,936
Hei-san... Maybe we should
pay the depositors so we

64
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:33,205
can put their mind at ease.

65
00:04:33,973 --> 00:04:36,174
No! We mustn't do that.

66
00:04:36,709 --> 00:04:38,810
With a bank of
this size, if we start

67
00:04:38,811 --> 00:04:42,614
giving their money back, we don't
know how much that will amount to.

68
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:45,017
Unless there's a really good
reason for it, we should

69
00:04:45,018 --> 00:04:48,020
stop the depositors from
withdrawing their money.

70
00:04:48,621 --> 00:04:50,822
The money we have is
the customers' money.

71
00:04:51,557 --> 00:04:53,358
Don't you think it's wrong
if we don't give them

72
00:04:53,359 --> 00:04:54,726
their money back when
they need it?

73
00:04:54,727 --> 00:04:56,662
That's a sound argument, but...

74
00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:01,166
Are you okay, Yusaku?

75
00:05:02,268 --> 00:05:03,035
Are you okay?

76
00:05:03,036 --> 00:05:03,835
Your glasses.

77
00:05:03,836 --> 00:05:05,937
They just won't listen.

78
00:05:05,938 --> 00:05:08,006
They insist on getting
their money back.

79
00:05:08,608 --> 00:05:09,908
It's terrible, isn't it?

80
00:05:11,744 --> 00:05:14,112
How can you be so carefree,
drinking tea at a time like this?

81
00:05:14,113 --> 00:05:16,581
It won't do any good for me
to try to look so serious

82
00:05:16,582 --> 00:05:19,117
and put a frown
on my face...

83
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:22,621
And I was thinking that
something like this

84
00:05:22,622 --> 00:05:24,589
happened while
you were little.

85
00:05:29,762 --> 00:05:31,630
If we don't exchange it,
they want to see the

86
00:05:31,631 --> 00:05:33,598
shop owner... They just
won't listen to me.

87
00:05:33,599 --> 00:05:37,769
In that case, it's either you
or me, isn't it, Shinjiro?

88
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:40,005
I'm no good at things like this.

89
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:44,009
But I can't let you go
out there, either.

90
00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:45,410
That's right.

91
00:05:45,411 --> 00:05:48,580
Asa! I'll leave this to you.

92
00:05:51,818 --> 00:05:57,222
My exceptional wife should
be coming home just about now...

93
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:12,471
What's going on?

94
00:06:13,072 --> 00:06:14,673
Keisuke! Over here!

95
00:06:19,078 --> 00:06:20,779
This is terrible.

96
00:06:28,187 --> 00:06:30,589
Something like this happened
here before, didn't it?

97
00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:34,126
It was after the Restoration,
when they abolished the silver unit.

98
00:06:34,127 --> 00:06:35,994
This brings back memories.

99
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:42,300
Who threw this at me?

100
00:06:45,004 --> 00:06:46,605
Okay... Let's go!

101
00:06:48,107 --> 00:06:49,040
It's the mistress!

102
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,213
Give us back our money.

103
00:06:55,214 --> 00:06:56,314
She's in trouble!

104
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,954
We heard that Kano Bank
is in danger of bankruptcy.

105
00:07:02,955 --> 00:07:05,223
There's still five minutes
until the bank opens.

106
00:07:05,224 --> 00:07:06,625
Please wait.

107
00:07:06,626 --> 00:07:09,427
We're depositors. You need
to explain to us whether

108
00:07:09,428 --> 00:07:10,829
our money is safe or not.

109
00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:11,897
That's right.

110
00:07:11,898 --> 00:07:13,698
Of course it's safe!

111
00:07:13,699 --> 00:07:16,468
I'm telling you to trust us and
just wait until we open.

112
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:18,170
We heard that Kano
Bank is bankrupt.

113
00:07:20,239 --> 00:07:22,507
Who said that?!

114
00:07:24,076 --> 00:07:26,378
What basis do you have for
saying things like that?

115
00:07:26,379 --> 00:07:30,048
Kano Bank has a tradition
and trust from back when

116
00:07:30,049 --> 00:07:31,583
we were money changers.

117
00:07:31,584 --> 00:07:33,885
It'll take a lot more than
this to take us down.

118
00:07:33,886 --> 00:07:36,955
I can't have you all going around
saying such ridiculous things.

119
00:07:38,524 --> 00:07:41,359
Please trust us and
wait five minutes...

120
00:07:44,197 --> 00:07:47,065
Please wait for
four minutes.

121
00:07:51,237 --> 00:07:53,438
Namba Bank went under.

122
00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:55,173
Thank you for letting
me know.

123
00:07:55,174 --> 00:07:56,875
I'm sorry I'm back so late.

124
00:07:57,977 --> 00:07:59,411
I heard things were
dangerous, but

125
00:07:59,412 --> 00:08:01,112
I didn't realize it would
happen this soon.

126
00:08:01,914 --> 00:08:04,983
A lot of Namba Bank's
clients went under.

127
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:08,653
From here on, the financial panic
will hit banks all over Japan.

128
00:08:09,222 --> 00:08:13,925
A lot of banks will go under like
the money changers did back then.

129
00:08:17,630 --> 00:08:20,932
I know we should give them
all back their money, but

130
00:08:20,933 --> 00:08:24,035
if by some small chance,
we get caught up in

131
00:08:24,036 --> 00:08:25,837
the backlash and go down
with everyone else.

132
00:08:25,872 --> 00:08:30,075
Don't worry. Our clients are
mostly solid businesses.

133
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:33,645
Let's open the bank and
pay all of the depositors

134
00:08:33,646 --> 00:08:34,913
who are out there.

135
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:38,316
Why do you think I sold
the coal mines?

136
00:08:38,851 --> 00:08:41,820
You may say that, but
if everyone else stops

137
00:08:41,821 --> 00:08:44,022
paying and we're the only
one paying our customers...

138
00:08:44,023 --> 00:08:46,658
It's not just today; we don't
know how many customers

139
00:08:46,659 --> 00:08:48,693
will be coming to withdraw
their money after that.

140
00:08:48,728 --> 00:08:52,497
If it's a financial panic, then it's a
crisis for all of Japan, isn't it?

141
00:08:52,498 --> 00:08:56,301
Don't you think the government
will have to step in and do something?

142
00:08:56,302 --> 00:08:57,969
I used to work for
the government,

143
00:08:58,004 --> 00:08:59,971
and I'm saying that
we're in trouble.

144
00:09:00,706 --> 00:09:01,673
Oh, my!

145
00:09:01,707 --> 00:09:02,874
That's true...

146
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,077
I understand what you're
saying, Hei-san...

147
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:10,715
But I remembered something
the god of banks told us...

148
00:09:12,952 --> 00:09:15,654
What's most important to
a bank is whether or

149
00:09:15,655 --> 00:09:17,656
not they have the
people's trust.

150
00:09:17,657 --> 00:09:20,191
As long you have trust,

151
00:09:20,192 --> 00:09:23,695
people will start bringing
their money to you...

152
00:09:20,192 --> 00:09:23,695
{\an8} EIICHI SHIBUSAWA

153
00:09:24,830 --> 00:09:27,599
That's right... If the other
banks won't pay their

154
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,235
depositors and we're the
only one who are willing to,

155
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:32,537
regardless of the
situation it puts us in,

156
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:34,439
I'm sure our customers
will be happy.

157
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,341
Then eventually, they'll
come to trust us and

158
00:09:36,342 --> 00:09:38,176
entrust us with their money
again someday.

159
00:09:38,210 --> 00:09:41,046
"En" (yen) is "go en" (fate).

160
00:09:42,515 --> 00:09:43,648
My husband...

161
00:09:44,717 --> 00:09:47,652
Come to think of it, Dad used
to say that often, didn't he?

162
00:09:48,454 --> 00:09:51,089
We're entrusted with the
money that's precious

163
00:09:51,123 --> 00:10:00,532
to them, so we have to be sincere
and trust each other, don't we?

164
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:03,735
I've heard that many times, too.

165
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:11,142
Please, Hei-san!

166
00:10:12,979 --> 00:10:15,246
You may think we're
being naive, but...

167
00:10:15,247 --> 00:10:19,017
This is how Kano-ya
does things.

168
00:10:25,224 --> 00:10:27,058
All right. In that case,
I'm prepared for the

169
00:10:27,059 --> 00:10:30,962
worst and we'll pay them.
Let's open the bank!

170
00:10:44,343 --> 00:10:47,912
Among the many banks who
stopped paying their

171
00:10:47,913 --> 00:10:51,016
depositors, Kano Bank
continued to pay

172
00:10:51,017 --> 00:10:53,151
all their customers.

173
00:10:54,186 --> 00:10:56,087
Just what I'd expect
from Kano Bank.

174
00:10:56,088 --> 00:10:57,922
They're the only ones
willing to pay.

175
00:11:01,627 --> 00:11:03,828
First, you have to decide
whether the furniture

176
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:06,131
you're going to use
will be western-style

177
00:11:06,132 --> 00:11:07,699
or Japanese-style furniture.

178
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:09,167
You're right...

179
00:11:10,269 --> 00:11:12,370
It's fun choosing things
like this, but...

180
00:11:18,844 --> 00:11:21,446
With all that stress,
I'm exhausted.

181
00:11:23,049 --> 00:11:25,517
I'm sorry, Keisuke...

182
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:28,286
I'm sorry to intrude at
a time like this...

183
00:11:28,287 --> 00:11:30,855
Not at all... It's almost
always like this...

184
00:11:30,856 --> 00:11:33,692
Let some of that tension
out of your shoulders...

185
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,560
Thank you, my husband.

186
00:11:35,561 --> 00:11:36,628
Dad!

187
00:11:36,629 --> 00:11:39,097
Not in front of Keisuke.

188
00:11:39,098 --> 00:11:43,635
If I were a husband like
Keisuke, but in my case,

189
00:11:43,636 --> 00:11:47,405
I've left my wife to always
put on a show of strength

190
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:53,978
in front of others without letting
them see her weakness.

191
00:11:53,979 --> 00:11:58,083
So I have to reward
her daily like this.

192
00:11:58,084 --> 00:12:00,819
What are you saying?

193
00:12:01,654 --> 00:12:04,022
Let me massage
her shoulders.

194
00:12:04,023 --> 00:12:06,925
You will? In that case,
I'll make some tea.

195
00:12:06,926 --> 00:12:08,793
I'll make the tea, too.

196
00:12:15,634 --> 00:12:18,036
This kind of house...

197
00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:21,740
If it's made like this, the hem
won't catch even when

198
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:24,342
you're wearing western
style clothing, will it?

199
00:12:24,343 --> 00:12:26,544
What do you mean?

200
00:12:26,545 --> 00:12:31,049
Our house is built for Japanese
style, so the clothing my

201
00:12:31,050 --> 00:12:34,018
mother wears always gets
the hem caught on the

202
00:12:34,019 --> 00:12:36,955
sewing kit and other things,
overturning them...

203
00:12:36,956 --> 00:12:39,624
That's right... In the western
countries, they don't put

204
00:12:39,625 --> 00:12:41,159
things on the bottom...

205
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,861
So it seems.

206
00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:48,233
Keisuke was beginning to
think about what he

207
00:12:48,234 --> 00:12:51,803
could do as a member
of the Kano-ya family.

208
00:12:58,244 --> 00:13:01,079
You're making tea?

209
00:13:01,881 --> 00:13:06,384
Lately, my shamisen group
has gotten smaller...

210
00:13:06,385 --> 00:13:10,622
So I'm thinking of putting
more effort in this...

211
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:18,563
That's good. But I miss hearing
you play the shamisen.

212
00:13:23,836 --> 00:13:25,103
My husband...?

213
00:13:28,174 --> 00:13:29,340
What is it?

214
00:13:32,111 --> 00:13:33,278
Nothing.

215
00:13:37,583 --> 00:13:42,954
For some reason, Shinjiro's
actions made her uneasy.

216
00:13:48,427 --> 00:13:53,498
Mrs. Okuma... 
That won't happen.

217
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,669
Thank you for worrying.

218
00:13:57,670 --> 00:14:00,805
I'll stop by in the
near future...

219
00:14:02,107 --> 00:14:03,408
Goodbye.

220
00:14:12,885 --> 00:14:14,118
That was Mrs. Okuma.

221
00:14:15,054 --> 00:14:17,555
There are rumors in Tokyo,
too, about Kano-ya being

222
00:14:17,556 --> 00:14:19,457
on the verge of
bankruptcy.

223
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:21,359
Is that right?

224
00:14:22,895 --> 00:14:26,764
As usual, people are demanding
their money back.

225
00:14:30,202 --> 00:14:31,769
We'll have to do
something...

226
00:14:32,938 --> 00:14:34,072
At this rate...

227
00:14:36,508 --> 00:14:43,014
I don't know if this will
help any, but...

228
00:14:47,786 --> 00:14:50,688
Asa was thinking of the
greatest reform in

229
00:14:50,689 --> 00:14:52,690
the history of Kano-ya.
