suffer everlasting shame
With arrowheads we'll write our history
With sword blades we'll carve our destiny
Look to the north
Outnumbering us is the foe
Search out the general
Deal him a deathblow
That's about enough.
Isn't there more?
- If there is, continue it.
- Go on.
That's enough. I'll mess it up
if I continue on.
- Let's hear more.
- No, that's it.
It's inspiring to hear.
I agree with you.
At Sakurai, the trees are in the leaf
Twilight is a time of sorrow and grief
The warrior ponders
What is the world coming to
Glistening on his armor
Teardrops or the dew
So did you get to see Fumiko?
She comes to the house now and then.
As long as she's okay, I'm not worried.
It's difficult, isn't it?
Raising children, that is.
Eventually, parents have to give in.
Things never go smoothly.
I guess not.
We're getting old.
To think that we're talking about
our children at a reunion.
"But ever with us
are the dreams of our youth."
- I'm back.
- Welcome back.
Mr. Hirayama of Tokyo is here.
- Really? Where is he?
- In the inner room.
- Hello.
- You're back.
Welcome.
Thank you for attending
Setsuko's wedding.
Not at all.
Congratulations on the happy event.
What brings you to Kyoto?
I was in Gamagori for a reunion,
so I came down to Osaka.
Oh, I see. Have you completed
your business?
Yukiko, we were just talking about it...
...but what was it that
the two of them liked?
- What is it?
- They kept saying it was delicious.
- Oh, the pickled fish.
- That's right.
They liked it very much.
They were talking about how delicious
it was when they came by the inn.
They seemed really happy together.
They stayed in this room.
Thanks for being kind to them.
It wasn't much.
They only stayed a night.
I told them to stay longer.
He had work to do,
so they just did some sightseeing...
...and left that night.
He's such a nice man.
I hope Yukiko can find
someone like that.
How true. If I could find a man
as nice as him, I'd marry him right away.
How can you not like him?
I have nothing against him.
- Excuse me.
- Did you need me?
Please drink up.
I'm sorry for what I did the other day.
- What?
- Don't be mad at me.
Please forgive me.
About the trick?
Don't you think
I'd make a good actress?
It was cleverly done.
I was completely fooled.
- Was it a complete fabrication?
- Meaning what?
You really haven't found
a man that you love?
I wish it wasn't true,
but I haven't found anyone.
Why is that?
I don't have the time.
Your mother mentioned this earlier...
...but she's really worried about
your marriage.
She's always saying that.
- That can't be true.
- It's true.
Although she likes to say it...
...she actually doesn't want
to see me go.
I can't believe that.
It's true.
She picks various candidates,
then breaks it off.
She's like a child with building blocks.
She's having fun with it.
Really? Do you really think so?
Yes, it makes it hard for me.
But it's time for you to really consider.
How can I leave such a mother behind?
I would be worried sick.
If I leave, she'll be quarreling
with Matsu all day.
The inn will be a mess.
Matsu has been real patient with us.
If you're that worried, why don't you have
someone marry into your family?
That person wouldn't be
as patient as Matsu.
Don't worry too much about your mother.
A parent should give way to the child.
As long as the child is happy,
everything should be fine.
- Do you think so?
- Of course.
Don't worry about your mother.
Just get married.
She'll do just fine, even without you.
- That's very strange.
- Why?
- You once told me not to get married.
- Did I say that?
Something about gold and brass.
I remember now.
But it's up to you
to turn that brass into gold.
That's how a married couple should be.
So get married.
It's about time you did.
Your stories are constantly changing.
You're
