you collecting?
Around here
-Say...
-Yes?
Have you got a cigarette?
-Yes, sir
-Give me one
Please
Peace brand, eh
How extravagant
I'm sorry
-Look...
-Yes?
I'm aware of it
What?
Never mind
-Tell me
-Yes?
The Young Master orders you ?
No, absolutely not
I see
Who asked you to make
the collections, then?
Oh, bill collecting?
I do it on my own
I see. That's commendable
Isn't it ready yet?
This man is busy.
He must go bill collecting. Hurry
Right away, sir
You 're a hard worker
Hello. Hello?
Well, hello
You walked in this heat
Please come in
Thank you , may I?
Please come in
It's so hot every day
Yes, isn't it
Is your brewery busy?
It's the slowest time of the year
Without new rice, there's no work
I had an amusing experience
Oh, what?
Our clerk followed me
Why did he do that?
I've been coming here often
My family members are worried
How absurd
I called this clerk who trailed me
into a tea room
I asked him for a cigarette
He got excited and paid for
the ice dumplings. The fool
Is that so? You were lucky
Want sugar in your barley tea?
Never mind, thanks
It's strange, fate
What is?
We wouldn't have met that day
if I had taken the first tram
That's right.
We were fated to meet
Yes, fate is strange.
We hadn't seen each other in 19 years
And to meet at such a place
We've both changed
We met after the bicycle race
Life changes like running water
Our world has really changed
It's disgusting
I miss the old days
Remember that tea shop?
You mean Hanayashiki.
We went there often
You took us on long excursions.
It was such fun
Yes, those viewings of snow scenery
and that firefly chase
Do you remember that moonlit night?
Of course. You changed me
from a girl into a woman
It was a long time ago
Yes
Yuriko is 21 already
How time flies.
Let's go to Uji one of these days
Yes, let's do that. Take me there
-Shall I prepare sake?
-Thank you
Hello
Hello
Your father's here
Really?
Hello
Hello. When did you come?
Sit down
I must leave right away.
Please stay longer
You 're going out again?
Yeah. Goodbye. Bye-bye
Goodbye
When will you buy me a mink stole?
You mean this? It's too warm yet
Yes, but I must ask you now
lunderstand
Such a restless girl
Oh, hello. It's nice to see you
Hello
Yuriko, George is waiting for you
Hurry
I'll be going, Mother
Come home early
Who is he?
An American with a company in Kobe
She has such friends?
Yes, she's a typist
She receives exotic presents
sometimes
Oh? Is it safe for her?
Girls nowadays are different
They can take care of themselves
Try some of this black stuff
What is it?
Yuriko received it
She says they're shark eggs
Shark eggs, eh?
The eggs are small for a shark
Yes. Take it home if you like
We have another can
I see
It's delicious
-Have a drink
-Thank you
What did you do?
I was shrewd.
I managed to trail the Old Master
Where did he go?
It was an inn called Sasaki
-Sasaki?
-You know the place?
Go on, what was the woman like?
Slender and about 44 or 45
No, she must be about 47 or 48
-You know her?
-Never mind
I thought they had cut
their ties during the war
Tell me more
Do they have a daughter
between them?
Daughter?
-Around 21 ?
-No
She called Old Master father
No, only he believes it.
What happened next?
30 minutes later, I heard
the strumming of a lute
He was singing a Nagauta
No, no
That was a Hauta
Like this?
That's it
I know
He sings only that
-What is she? A Geisha?
-No, no
-From Minami?
-No, no. She's his old flame
Old flame?
The Old Master led a fast life
He troubled his folks over her
Is that so?
Things will be complicated again.
What a headache
Here are your clothes
Thank you
Hello
What do you want?
Yamayoshi's postcard
Here it is
Father is at it again.
She lives in Kyoto, I hear
Where in Kyoto?
Her name is Sasaki
-Sasaki?
-Sasaki Tsune
Oh...
Then it's that woman Father kept
in Osaka long ago
Yes, I think so
I was
