asked her why
she just switched off the light
What do you think?
Father's to blame...disliking Taniguchi
He is such a nice person
Father's too feudalistic!
Here you come!
I'm home
We've already finished supper
What's this?
You'll...attend the wedding?
Can't very well stay away
Our friends are coming
Are you sure?
Setsuko! Father will be there tomorrow
He'll attend you wedding!
I'm so glad! I was certain
that he would but
Everything's going to be all right now
There's not need to cry
You'll be busy tomorrow
Better go to bed
Mother
What's the matter?
I'm sorry...for having caused you
so much trouble
Never mind. All I want is for you to be
happy. Now get your things ready
Hisako, go help your sister
Okay
Setsuko's terribly happy
We need you there tomorrow
Will you eat some festive rice?
You're happy-go-lucky
How can you say that?
I never thought that she'd defy me
Don't say ''defy''!
Somehow I fail to be convinced
Something's wrong
She made this vital decision
without letting her parents know
It's not right
We were worrying about it too
The table's ready for mahjong
Let's start!
Alright!
Bring beer to the next room
Sure
I'll go try my luck. Let's go!
Okay
Since his wife asked me
I acted as go-between
But Hirayama didn't like the bridegroom
Why's that?
Well
It's hard to find a good man that
you think is worthy of your daughter
How many children, Sugai?
None at all?
Sugai has plenty. Wasn't it all?
Seven?
All girls, I presume
See!
Thought as much
Undoubtedly
It's nothing. Just a theory
You keep on thinking they're children
Then suddenly they've grown up
That's right
That's the way it should be
Mikami, recite something for us
What do you want?
You used to do ''Masatsura'' at Kure
That one won't do
Why not?
Mikami, good at it
Go ahead
Don't be shy
Come on, come on!
Let's hear it
All right. But it doesn't quite fit this age
This is based on a farewell poem
by the patriot Masatsura Kusunoki
The precepts of my father
remain deep in memory
The edict of the Emperor
I'll follow faithfully
This is quite long
Drink as you listen
Ten years of patience
Now the great day is here
Strike a mighty blow
Fill the foe with fear. For the Emperor's
cause, we fight once again
Vowing that we will battle
and die as men
Our band of 143 warriors -
united as one
Determined are we to fight
until we have won
By dying, heroes gain eternal fame
Cowards suffer everlasting shame
With arrowheads we'll write our history
With sword blades
we'll care our destiny
Look to the north
Outnumbering us is the foe
Search out the general
Deal him a death-blow
This is about enough
Isn't there more?
If there is...Continue it
Go on
That's insufficient
Let's hear more
Not so good
It's inspiring to listen to
I agree with you
At Sakurai, the trees are in the leaf
Twilight is a time of sorrow and grief
The warrior ponder:
what is the world coming to?
What glistens on his armour
Teardrops or the dew?
You've met your daughter then?
She comes to the house now and then
making out somehow. I'm satisfied
Raising children can be very difficult
You are right
Eventually parents have to give up
Things never go smoothly
I guess not. We're getting old
Talking about children
at an alumni reunion
That's true
But ever with us are the
dreams of our youth
I'm back!
Mr. Hiayama of Tokyo is here
Really! Where is he now?
In the inner room
Hello!
Welcome!
Come here
Thank you for attending
Setsuko's wedding
Not at all. Congratulations
on the happy event
By the way
What brings you to Kyoto?
After attending an alumni reunion,
I went to Osaka
Have you completed your business?
Yes
Setsuko and her husband
stopped at our inn
Really!
Just talked about it
What?
What was it that they
found so delicious?
Pickled fish
They liked it very much
The husband said, ''This tastes nice''
The wife replied, ''That's right''
He said, ''You like it?''
She said, ''
