down
Please
It's been a long time
Yes, it has indeed
Yes. It feels great
to be back here again
When was the last time?
Was it immediately
after the surrender?
It was
It's already twelve years since then
That many years?
Time flies
I'm see several new faces
With the changing times,
you know
My leading lady, Sumiko, sir
I'm pleased to meet you
Nice to meet you
What happened to the man
who played ''Bat'' Yasu ?
You mean Tatsunosuke?
He died at Fukuchiyama
Died? What happened?
It was a stroke
Such a good player.
I'm so sorry
And this is his daughter,
who was just a kid then
Grown up into a fine young woman
She used to be
just like a Chinese nut
What's a Chinese nut?
A peanut
What do you want, Kimura?
I'm leaving now.
Anything else?
Do your stuff
Flat rate, as you said?
That'll be fine
Next stand?
Yes. Shingu Town, Kii
I'm see
So long, Master
Mr Marudai's present, Master
ln witness of it...
...give us your hands
Once more
Once more
Congratulations
Is that the leading man?
He seems pretty old
Afternoon
Good afternoon
Afternoon
Give me a sake
Sure
-I'll put money here
-Thank you
I'm knew you 'd come.
I'm saw the parade
How have you been? All right?
Come right in.
It's much cooler in here
Thanks. Thank you very much
I'm glad to see that you 're fine
-You too
-Thanks
Twelve years have passed
It must have been so hard.
So many years
You had sore shoulders last time
All right now?
Had I'm?
You told me
the pains were killing you
Did I'm?
It's OK now
It's very breezy here
Sorry to bother you
Not at all
Thanks. Thank you very much
How is Koyoshi? All right?
Sure.
Finished high school last year
You wrote that to me
Did I'm?
He's working now
-Where?
-Post Office
To save money
He's keen to study
electronics at school
Great
But then I'm'll be all alone here
And you 'll be lonely
-But he's saving up for schooling
-ls he?
I'm'd hate to discourage him
I'm know
Tell me
What does he know?
I'm mean...about me
Does he think
that his father is dead?
And that I'm only your brother?
Pretty flowers
Don't you feel sort of lonely?
About what?
About Kiyoshi
I'm can't help it
I'm not worth my salt
However...
Let's not talk about it
But...
Forget it.
Let it remain that way
I'm sorry for you , though.
Forget it
-Have a drink
-Thank you
Forget it
That's Kiyoshi
Welcome home
Oh, hello, Uncle
I'm should have come home sooner
-Are you working?
-Studying with the postmaster
How you 've grown up!
He's of conscription age
A first-grade conscript, no doubt
He sure has grown up
No wonder we're getting old
It's years since we last met
How long are you staying?
As long as my show draws.
A year, maybe
It can't draw that long
It will
-ls this your work?
-Yes
-What's this?
-Don't tamper with it
I'm'll go and see your show.
What do you play?
Forget it. It's not meant for you
Who is it for?
The audience
-l'm one of them
-l know
It's nothing sophisticated. Forget it
Why put on such plays?
Do something better
But I'm can't
Why not?
Today's audiences
don't understand good plays
So you shan't come to see it
Last time we went fishing together
-What fish bite now?
-Well...
-lt doesn't matter. Let's go again
-It's hot
I'm don't mind. Let's go, shall we?
How about tomorrow? A Sunday?
-Shall we?
-Sure. Let's go
Is it a date?
He sure has grown up
-ls it warm enough?
-Yes
Very logical. He argued me down
Really? What did you argue about?
He's becoming very wise
Very brainy
Welcome!
Welcome, two good patrons
Welcome
Welcome!
-Tetsu
-Yes?
-Sadal*acl*i
-Well. Boss?
