1
00:00:03,136 --> 00:00:07,206
The seasons changed, and
Chiyo and Keisuke's

2
00:00:07,207 --> 00:00:10,309
wedding was drawing near.

3
00:00:12,645 --> 00:00:14,279
It's so beautiful.

4
00:00:18,885 --> 00:00:19,885
That...?

5
00:00:21,087 --> 00:00:22,321
Is that a dress?

6
00:00:22,322 --> 00:00:26,225
That's right. In England,
it's a custom for brides

7
00:00:26,259 --> 00:00:29,661
to wear a pure white dress
for their wedding.

8
00:00:29,662 --> 00:00:33,732
You seem to prefer kimono,
but I thought it might

9
00:00:33,733 --> 00:00:35,401
look good on you.

10
00:00:37,771 --> 00:00:41,940
Realty? I'll choose for myself
what I'm going to wear, so

11
00:00:41,941 --> 00:00:44,476
I told you that you can just
keep working, didn't I?

12
00:00:44,477 --> 00:00:50,883
I know, but Mother told me to be
sure to see your wedding outfits.

13
00:00:52,218 --> 00:00:53,485
Grandma said that?

14
00:00:53,486 --> 00:00:58,524
That's right. I think she
wanted to choose it herself, but...

15
00:00:58,525 --> 00:01:02,628
So I thought I'd see
it through for her.

16
00:01:03,696 --> 00:01:06,465
That's right. I'm sure the grand
mistress and master must be

17
00:01:06,466 --> 00:01:09,601
watching from somewhere.

18
00:01:09,602 --> 00:01:13,172
I see... Thank you.

19
00:01:13,173 --> 00:01:16,675
In that case, I'll take a good
look at all of these.

20
00:01:22,549 --> 00:01:24,349
This is going to take
a long time.

21
00:01:25,118 --> 00:01:26,618
It probably will.

22
00:01:28,221 --> 00:01:30,289
Meanwhile, in Wakayama...

23
00:01:34,828 --> 00:01:35,961
Are you okay?

24
00:01:40,266 --> 00:01:41,567
It's just a cold.

25
00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:45,604
It's getting colder.

26
00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:51,610
Have a good day.

27
00:01:56,260 --> 00:02:02,300

46
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:14,226
The wedding of Keisuke
Higashiyanagi and

47
00:03:14,227 --> 00:03:19,198
Chiyo Shirooka took place.

48
00:03:26,105 --> 00:03:31,810
Keisuke was officially adopted
into the Kano-ya family.

49
00:03:55,401 --> 00:03:57,769
Nobu... Thank you for coming
all the way from Tokyo.

50
00:03:58,972 --> 00:04:01,106
You look like a
western princess.

51
00:04:01,107 --> 00:04:03,075
It really looks good on you.

52
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:04,343
Thank you.

53
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,981
My little brother and Chiyo
beat me to it, didn't they?

54
00:04:10,016 --> 00:04:12,618
Ainosuke... You'd
better try harder.

55
00:04:12,619 --> 00:04:13,685
I will.

56
00:04:14,687 --> 00:04:18,156
But it really was a grand
wedding reception.

57
00:04:18,191 --> 00:04:19,491
It really was.

58
00:04:19,492 --> 00:04:21,493
They invited 100 people
to the reception.

59
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:23,562
They were mostly
your guests.

60
00:04:23,563 --> 00:04:24,930
That's true, but...

61
00:04:26,499 --> 00:04:29,835
But I was surprised at your
adoptive son-in-law.

62
00:04:31,237 --> 00:04:32,504
Keisuke?

63
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:35,874
For someone who wanted
to be a government

64
00:04:35,875 --> 00:04:37,342
official before they
got married...

65
00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:39,678
I wondered if he could
make it as a banker.

66
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:42,080
There's no question that
Washington who founded

67
00:04:42,081 --> 00:04:44,049
the United States of America
and made it into a country

68
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:46,551
as good as any European
country was a great man...

69
00:04:46,552 --> 00:04:49,087
But that fact didn't benefit
the world whereas

70
00:04:49,088 --> 00:04:55,994
Edison used electricity and
brightened the world.

71
00:04:57,597 --> 00:05:01,767
From now on, I want to give
support to Japan's new Edison.

72
00:05:08,408 --> 00:05:09,608
He said that?

73
00:05:09,609 --> 00:05:12,644
What a great son-in-law.

74
00:05:12,645 --> 00:05:14,479
He's too great.

75
00:05:16,115 --> 00:05:18,250
It's the appearance of
a new generation.

76
00:05:21,454 --> 00:05:24,556
I brought you all
some ice cream.

77
00:05:29,395 --> 00:05:30,762
Looks delicious.

78
00:05:30,763 --> 00:05:32,464
I want to ask the
groom one thing.

79
00:05:32,465 --> 00:05:35,467
It's just a question out
of curiosity, so if you

80
00:05:35,468 --> 00:05:38,270
don't want to answer
it, you don't have to.

81
00:05:38,271 --> 00:05:39,571
What is it?

82
00:05:40,606 --> 00:05:44,376
What about Chiyo
appealed to you?

83
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:50,315
Her appearance...? Her face?
Or her personality?

84
00:05:52,752 --> 00:05:54,286
I'd say...

85
00:05:55,588 --> 00:05:57,055
All of those.

86
00:05:58,725 --> 00:06:04,129
The most shocking thing
was her Kamigata dialect.

87
00:06:04,897 --> 00:06:06,164
Her dialect?

88
00:06:06,165 --> 00:06:08,567
The way she says
"I'm sorry," and

89
00:06:08,568 --> 00:06:13,071
"how awful" and "I never thought
I'd ever see you again" in that

90
00:06:13,072 --> 00:06:19,177
Kamigata dialect, it was such a
shock for someone from Tokyo.

91
00:06:20,313 --> 00:06:22,414
That's very interesting.

92
00:06:23,449 --> 00:06:26,551
I wonder what they're
talking about.

93
00:06:26,552 --> 00:06:28,220
I wonder...

94
00:06:36,028 --> 00:06:39,297
You're not drinking that
much today, are you?

95
00:06:39,298 --> 00:06:41,700
No... I'm the father
of the bride.

96
00:06:41,701 --> 00:06:44,636
My heart and stomach
are full without

97
00:06:44,637 --> 00:06:46,505
things like that on
a day like this.

98
00:06:46,506 --> 00:06:48,774
You'll learn soon
enough, Kisuke.

99
00:06:50,143 --> 00:06:51,910
I don't want to.

100
00:07:06,492 --> 00:07:09,194
Chiyo and Keisuke rented
a small house near

101
00:07:09,195 --> 00:07:13,965
Kano-ya, and would be
living there for a while.

102
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:19,004
I'm going to come over to check
if you're not wasting your money.

103
00:07:19,005 --> 00:07:22,140
Going over to a newlywed's
house... Don't be boorish.

104
00:07:22,875 --> 00:07:26,344
Don't worry... I'll keep
an eye on her.

105
00:07:26,345 --> 00:07:28,780
Please do that.

106
00:07:30,249 --> 00:07:32,617
I'll see you tomorrow
at the bank.

107
00:07:35,021 --> 00:07:36,121
Dad...

108
00:07:37,056 --> 00:07:38,356
Mom...

109
00:07:41,093 --> 00:07:42,994
Thank you for everything
you've done for me.

110
00:08:10,122 --> 00:08:13,024
Why can't you just say
that you'll miss her?

111
00:08:16,362 --> 00:08:17,996
I wonder why.

112
00:08:41,153 --> 00:08:42,587
I know what it is...

113
00:08:44,090 --> 00:08:49,728
Lately, when I look at you
something just didn't seem right.

114
00:08:49,729 --> 00:08:51,863
I finally know
what it is.

115
00:08:51,864 --> 00:08:53,398
What is it?

116
00:08:54,267 --> 00:08:57,269
Tea... The way you look
when you drink tea.

117
00:08:57,303 --> 00:09:01,339
You always used to look
so enraptured when

118
00:09:01,340 --> 00:09:07,045
you drank your tea,
but lately, you...

119
00:09:07,046 --> 00:09:10,982
That's right. Just what I'd expect
from an exceptional woman...

120
00:09:10,983 --> 00:09:12,684
I'm surprised you
figured it out.

121
00:09:12,685 --> 00:09:16,755
The aroma of the tea
is a little different.

122
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:21,393
But isn't it the same tea
leaves that we always buy?

123
00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:24,563
That's right. It's always the
same, so I wondered if it

124
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:27,265
was the way I made the tea,
and tried making it over

125
00:09:27,266 --> 00:09:30,936
a number of times but it
doesn't change much.

126
00:09:32,305 --> 00:09:34,205
Next time, I'll ask the
tea shop owner.

127
00:09:35,675 --> 00:09:38,143
But maybe you should
see a doctor...

128
00:09:38,144 --> 00:09:39,744
Never mind me...

129
00:09:40,913 --> 00:09:45,984
Why don't you use this chance
to start slowing down a little bit?

130
00:09:47,553 --> 00:09:51,323
You don't have to worry about
Chiyo or the business anymore...

131
00:09:52,291 --> 00:09:55,126
We're at an age when we
should think about leaving

132
00:09:55,127 --> 00:09:58,029
things in the hands of the
young ones, and retire.

133
00:09:59,365 --> 00:10:05,070
You're the best wife in all Japan,
so we should buy a villa with

134
00:10:05,071 --> 00:10:08,406
the best view of Mt. Fuji in
Japan, so we can just

135
00:10:08,407 --> 00:10:10,442
relax and enjoy our
time together.

136
00:10:12,078 --> 00:10:15,880
That sounds nice, but...

137
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:21,319
From now on, the economy
will be going through cycles

138
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,154
of ups and downs for a while.

139
00:10:23,155 --> 00:10:26,658
Eizaburo, Hei san and our
directors' won't be able

140
00:10:26,659 --> 00:10:30,328
handle what's to come
in the future.

141
00:10:30,329 --> 00:10:32,764
I have to see with my own
eyes that Keisuke will

142
00:10:32,765 --> 00:10:35,567
live up to our expectations.

143
00:10:37,403 --> 00:10:39,571
So I can't rest yet.

144
00:10:39,572 --> 00:10:41,773
I guess you're right.

145
00:10:41,774 --> 00:10:43,942
I thought you'd say that.

146
00:10:43,943 --> 00:10:51,082
I'm sorry. But let's build a
villa like that someday.

147
00:11:08,734 --> 00:11:12,671
The doctor had told Sobei
that it was just a cold, but...

148
00:11:20,913 --> 00:11:23,281
Even if it's just a little
bit, drink this.

149
00:11:38,197 --> 00:11:39,764
This is delicious.

150
00:11:44,236 --> 00:11:45,403
Thank you.

151
00:11:57,717 --> 00:11:59,417
It was the beginning
of a new year...

152
00:12:23,943 --> 00:12:25,210
It's delicious.

153
00:12:25,211 --> 00:12:27,479
I'd better write
to Aunt Hatsu.

154
00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:31,483
Chiyo! Chiyo!
You're here!

155
00:12:31,484 --> 00:12:33,218
How did it go at
the hospital?

156
00:12:33,219 --> 00:12:35,553
Asa! You were running
with big strides again.

157
00:12:35,554 --> 00:12:37,088
I'm sorry.

158
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:38,890
She's pregnant.

159
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:43,762
What good news.

160
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:45,764
What a surprise.

161
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:48,600
Isn't it? We had such
a hard time trying

162
00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:51,236
to have a baby, but
Chiyo and Yonosuke...

163
00:12:51,237 --> 00:12:53,605
Don't you remember me
saying that I wanted

164
00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:56,608
to be a good mother
as soon as I can?

165
00:12:57,743 --> 00:12:59,010
That's right.

166
00:13:00,012 --> 00:13:01,679
Congratulations, Chiyo.

167
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:04,149
Congratulations, Keisuke.

168
00:13:05,017 --> 00:13:06,451
Thank you.

169
00:13:07,419 --> 00:13:09,487
Thank you, Dad... Mom...

170
00:13:11,390 --> 00:13:13,925
So you'll be a grandpa soon.

171
00:13:20,699 --> 00:13:22,700
During the winter breaks
and spring breaks, the

172
00:13:22,701 --> 00:13:26,437
students from the women's
university who looked up

173
00:13:26,438 --> 00:13:31,409
to Asa, came to Osaka, and
visited the Shirooka family.

174
00:13:33,112 --> 00:13:34,712
Just a moment, please.

175
00:13:34,713 --> 00:13:37,816
I'm sorry. Pardon
the intrusion...

176
00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:39,717
The entrance to the
house is that way.

177
00:13:39,718 --> 00:13:41,052
I'll show you the way.

178
00:13:41,053 --> 00:13:42,620
Thank you.

179
00:13:49,595 --> 00:13:53,598
I'll have you calculate
the annuity amount.

180
00:13:56,735 --> 00:14:01,005
Asa welcomed the students
and taught them to use

181
00:14:01,006 --> 00:14:04,142
the abacus, bookkeeping
and about business.

182
00:14:06,178 --> 00:14:09,314
Teaching them sewing
and cooking...

183
00:14:09,315 --> 00:14:13,451
Subjects that they'd need
for everyday living.

184
00:14:16,889 --> 00:14:20,592
Women in the west, have
their own ideas, and

185
00:14:20,593 --> 00:14:23,661
they'll always express it.

186
00:14:25,197 --> 00:14:28,199
So from now on, women
will have to support

187
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,635
themselves in life.

188
00:14:32,771 --> 00:14:33,771
What's that?

189
00:14:35,241 --> 00:14:36,341
What's wrongs?

190
00:14:37,543 --> 00:14:39,043
We just got a telegram.

191
00:14:39,044 --> 00:14:43,514
Sobei... collapsed.

192
00:14:49,054 --> 00:14:52,624
That was unexpected news.
