All language subtitles for Asa Ga Kita Week 17 Ep102 (848x480 x264)

And finally in 1888, Kano-ya...

What are you doing, Mom?

What do you mean?

I'm just getting ready.

What a surprise! So you
finally ordered a dress?

I ordered it just
for this day.

I can't have people
calling me that

mistress who's like a sumo
wrestler or growing a

beard, so people won't
be able to trust me.

And since you're always
telling me, I even tried

putting a little bit
of make-up.

What do you think?
How do I look?

It doesn't look good
on you at all.

She ran off!

Chiyo! Chiyo!

Hurry, and change!

Today's an important day.

It really looks good
on you, Asa.

You look like a noblewoman in
one of those woodblock prints.

Thank you. You're the only one who
says such sweet things to me.

But this really is
easy to walk in.

It sure is.

I'll walk, too.

Let's walk.

In 1888, money changer,
Kano-ya became Kano Bank.

Congratulations!

Thank you, Yamaya.

I see we're all here.
Let's do it.

We're going to close
it Osaka style.

A show of hands, everyone.

Clap your hands.

Once more.

Both hands, three times.

Are these goldfish?

This morning, a goldfish
peddler went by, so

I bought them
for you, Chiyo.

Thank you, Grandma.

You did?

Don't tell Asa.

When Chiyo was going
to buy one, Oasa

told her that even though
we're doing well right

now, we don't know when
we could lose it all, so

Kano-ya's daughter mustn't
be extravagant.

That's right.

It's the opposite of when
I was growing up...

The daughter of a large
store should always

be dressed beautifully.

That's so true.

Chief Clerk...? Are you going
on a journey somewhere?

Yes...

Chiyo... Don't you care
for your mother?

I really didn't care for her...

I never did care for her.

And yet, there was
something about

her that was
so enjoyable.

Be sure you watch your
mother at work.

Gansuke! Wait a minute.

Wait! You're not going
to leave, are you?

TOKYO

To think we're in an era when
a woman would establish a bank.

OSAKA KANO BANK OPENS

WAKAYAMA, MAYAUYAMA FAMILY

Congratulations, Asa.

That's really great.

Asa, Eizaburo, and all of the
workers at Kano Bank made

the effort to do what the god
of banks, Eiichi Shibusawa

taught them, and worked
to gain people's trust.

Excuse me... Hello.
I'm from Kano Bank.

Kano-ya... Thank you
for coming.

Not at all.

You want to build
a classroom?

I thought we could build a
place where the workers

at Kano Bank and Kano
Commerce can go to

learn about business after
they finished work.

I'm thinking of having you
be the teacher, Hei-san.

And we could invite someone
from outside once in a while.

Since I was little, Dad and
Gansuke taught me a lot,

and it was really useful.

But will everyone pay a tuition
to learn something like that?

No... The company will
pay for their education.

The company will pay?

We mustn't be stingy...
Education is important.

I'm sure we'll get a return
on it many times over.

All right. I'll be leaving now.
Let's not waste this.

I'll be leaving, too.

Thank you.

Please come again.

Speaking of education,
the prime minister,

Mr. Shibusawa and others
feel that girls need to

have higher education, too.

So they set up the Institution
for Women's Education, and

opened a school, didn't they?

That's right. I have to hand
it to Mr. Shibusawa...

He's quick to do things.

What about Shinjiro? Did he
go to Amagasaki again?

He's busy trying to establish
the company there.

That's nice but it's lonely.

That's true.

When I see young couples
like that, I envy them.

At the beginning, there were
nothing but men coming

here, but lately, I'm finally
getting customers like that.

Speaking of my husband,
I went to Amagasaki

once to see the place.

I wondered what kind of
company the men from

the Noh chanting group
were establishing.

And there were about
30 well-known Osaka

businessmen gathered there.

And my husband was being
thrown up in the air, and

it seems he's going to be the
company's first president.

Shinjiro is going to be a
company president again?

That's right... I wonder
if he's going to be okay.

I'm sure he'll be okay.

You know how much trust
people have in him, so

if he's in trouble, someone
will step in to help him.

He seems to just naturally
have the trust that I've

been working so hard to build.

I wonder why.

That's right... I have an
unusual confection, so

if you want, you can give
it to Chiyo as a present.

Thank you.

Confection...? I have to make
sure she brushes her teeth.

You quit your job?

I wondered why you suddenly
came back from Niigata...!

It can't be helped...

IZUMI NARUSAWA

Being a school principal and a minister,
I don't have time for my own education.

NARUSAWA'S WIFE KANAE

I know, but...

After Mr. Sawayama and
Mr. Niijima from Doshima

helped to get you
the position...

I'm...

...thinking of going to
America to study.

A WOMAN'S DUTY BY
IZUMI NARUSAWA

I want to study in earnest to
make my dream a reality.

He looks like he really
enjoys eating.

Asa and this man whose eyes
are sparkling with a dream

will have a fateful encounter
several years later...

But that's not going to
be for a little while yet.

Then three years after
the bank opened...

Kano Bank had become
one of the top ten

big banks in Osaka.

And Kano Commerce, the
trading section of Kano Bank

was also doing well.

Eizaburo and Sachi now had a daughter...

KANO BANK PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

They had a new home nearby

where they lived
as a family.

Eizaburo asked Yono to
come and live with them, but...

I want to live here where
I have all my memories

of my husband...

But... Our house is bigger,
and we put in all the

latest designs, so it'll be
a lot easier on you...

I appreciate it, but it's just so
hard for me to leave here.

And besides, I'm worried
about Chiyo...

Chiyo?

I'm sorry, Mom... It's because
Asa and Chiyo are...

Chiyo's closest to me.

That's so true.

So I have to stay with her
until she's a little older.

And Shinjiro wasn't only the
president of Kano Commerce,

but the first president of the
Hanshin Spinning Mill...

He was gradually becoming well-known
in the Osaka financial circles.

Are you getting together
here again?

Didn't you say you were coming
home early today, so you can

verify and sigh off on our
income and expenses?

You're right. I'm sorry.

And of course, it was Asa who
was prodding him along.

KANO BANK BOARDROOM

Along with the bank, Asa

would go out to the Kyushu
coal mines regularly,

and was working
harder than ever.

Mistress Asa is really something.

Someone is coming to talk
to her to write a story

about her in the
newspaper...

She's getting to be
even greater...

She hasn't changed
that much inside...

That's so true...

What's so great
about her?

Someone like her!

Chiyo!

As a woman, she's the

last woman I want
to be like.

I see! That's fine

I just can't wait to see
what kind of a woman

you turn out to be.

It's started again.

Are you two glaring
at each other again?

Stop it!

That doesn't work.
