This box was on Ms. Ayako’s table
at the university.

I think it was important to your mother.

So, please take it.

Okay.

Please let me excuse myself.

Don’t, Takumi.

It’s not a toy.

This box is important to me.

Do you understand?

We’ve got an order.

But…

I haven’t accepted it.

I want you to feel better
before going back to work.

Is there something?

I have to travel to Thailand.

I need to find out
about my mother and this box.

And return it to its owner.

How long will you be there?

A week.

About our wedding.

We will have to postpone it.

My mother just passed away.

I understand.

The strength of Energy Boost is…

the perceived credibility.

Because it was made
by hospital nutritionists.

While the weaknesses are…

Six weaknesses.

Is this all you can think of?

This kind of branding…

Anyone can do it.

You need to come up with something new.
And think outside the box.

How many times
have we gone through this?

10 times.

It wasn’t a question.

Please stop this already.

A health drink…

should look minimal.

Please stop this already.

Don’t make it flashy.

I want it to look clean.

Are you mocking me?

If what I briefed you
or what I told you doesn’t work,

it’s your job to fix it and make it work.

Don’t try to use it to mock me.

Do you understand?

Hey.

You need to quit making
these grand speeches.

When someone tried to think outside
the box and not following the brief,

you had problems and issues with them.

You keep changing
what you want every day.

There doesn’t help people working
with you to improve themselves.

Lita, did you forget
to turn on you microphone?

It’s nothing.

I just wanted to say I’m resigning.

Hello.

Are you Ms. Lita?

Yes, I am.

Did you pick the wrong luggage?

Ah, you are right.

I’m so sorry.
I will bring it back right away.

Okay.

I’m here.

Ah, I’m sorry about this.

This is your bag right, sir?

- Yes.
- Is this yours?

Yes.

Let’s switch them then. Thank you.

Sorry.

Sorry.

- Thank you.
- Thanks to you, too.

- Thank you.
- Arigatou Gozaimasu.

Are you going to the town?

Yes.

Do you want to come along?

Drop him in the city first.
Then go to Chian Yai.

Take the bag.

Chian Yai?

That’s Dad.

Um.

This is my father name.

Do you know my father?

No.

This is my mother's letter.

Ah...

Come here.

Let’s go straight to Chian Yai.
No need to go to the city.

Go. Get on.

Here we go again.

You have been sitting there
working for too long.

Your knee isn’t healed yet.

Since that motorcycle accident.

Go change your pants.
I’ll get you an ice pack.

Why are you nagging so much?

Do you want to hear
the doctor nagging instead?

Come on. I will catch up with you
when I’m done.

This won’t be long.

What’s wrong?

The rubber price hasn’t been good.

- Mom.
- Lita.

Oh dear.

Why didn’t you tell me
you were coming?

Good Morning.

Morning, dear.

How did you come here?

You took a leave?

Why can’t I come here?

I quit my job.

You quit?

Again? You have no patience.

Don’t scold me, Mom.

I can take care of myself.

Please.

- Just smile.
- Don’t.

Oh.

Don’t make a face like that.

He’s not my boyfriend.

Who is he? Tell me.

Hey, Lita.

We will find out together
what this is about.

Lita, who is this guy?

His name is Takumi.

He is Professor Ayako’s son.

Before Professor Ayako passed away,

she kept this Yan Lipao box.

And there is a letter for you.

I’m sorry about your mother.

But I can’t take this box.

Can you tell him to take it back?

Huh. Dad.

Dad, where are you going?

Can you explain first what this is about?

Dad.

What was that?

You didn’t get that.

He said, he sorry for what happened to you.

But he can't accept them.

You should take them back. Okay?

No...no.

Please, give this to your father.

Thank you.

Dad.

- Dad, come down to talk to me. Dad.
- Lita, come back here.

- What, Mom?
- Enough.

You know he won’t talk.

Aren’t you curious this is about?

He left the letter for him. Here.

Whatever.

If you are not curious, that’s up to you.

It’s not yours.

This Kid.

Mom. This is not the time
to try to be a good lady.

Don’t you want to know
how this Takumi guy and his mother…

are related to Dad?

Give it to me.

Stop it already, Lita.

If they don’t want us to know,
then don’t.

Do you understand?
Don’t turn it into a problem.

Go check on Takumi.

- Don’t worry about him.
- You can’t let him walk back.

- Here’s the key. Take it.
- Gosh, Mom.

He came here on his own.
He could go back by himself.

- Give me your hand.
- He can come and go by himself. No.

- Go. Trust me.
- Mom...

We will talk later.

Give him a ride first.
Who knows how far he can walk.

This kid.

Hey.

I will take you to your hotel.

It's okay. Don't worry.

I'm fine.

Don't trouble me again, okay?

Get in the car.

Now!

- Here?
- Yes.

Okay.

Thank you.

So...

What you gonna do next?

You don't speak Thai.

Ah...

I…

was…

exchange student...one year...Bangkok

Oh...and don't worry.

Ah...

I have Google translate.

When are you going back?

One week.

In one week.

Okay.

So, we have one week…

to find out the truth
about what happened

between you mom and my dad, okay?

Are you in?

I will pick you up tomorrow.

- Here.
- ...

Is this your mom?

Hey.

I have to ask you this.

Your dad and my dad…

are not the same person, right?

No...no.

My father...

passed away two years ago
before my mother.

That’s a relief.

It’s good you are not my brother.

Keep it as a gift.

Oh, no.

I can't take it. It's not mine.

I don’t want my dad to keep this.

Just take it.

I don’t want to keep this either.

Argh.

This…looks like the one my mom had.

Your father made this?

I have no idea.

Since I was born,

I have never seen my dad make something
like this.

I have only seen him working
at the rubber and shrimp farms.

Very...beautiful.

Very beautiful.

It’s made of…

What is it made of?

This one.

I don't know.

Ah, hold on.

I will take you somewhere.

I think we will find something
about your mom.

Go.

- Now?
- Yes.

Get in the car. Go.

Quickly.

Go, go.

Quickly.

Please come this way.

These are the ornaments
for female Lakhon performers.

On this side,

there are woven items made of Yan Lipao.

Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother,

found a box made of Yan Lipao,

shaped like a book
which could be opened,

like a dictionary.

It had a thick spine like a book.

When we opened it,

we would find out
that it’s actually a beautiful box,

exquisitely made with great skills.

Insects don’t eat it.

It would last for a long time.

Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother,

saw it as a very valuable item.

In 1973,

When the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej

and the Queen Mother

visited the people
of Nakhon Si Thammarat,

- they launched an initiative…
- Hey.

- They are more over there.
- to have skilled Yan Lipao weavers…

of Nakhon Si Thammarat…

teach their arts to the people…

- of the southern border areas…
- So beautiful.

to help increase their income.

And the SUPPORT Foundation…

was founded under the patronage
of Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother.

This one is beautiful too.

This looks like
the one your father held in the picture.

Ah, you’re right.

That’s my dad’s name.

Excuse me. Can I ask you something?

How did this box end up in the museum?

This box…

Someone gave it to the museum.

I think there is a name here.

Weera Hattakit was the one who gave it.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

"How are you, Weera?"

"It's been quite a while
since our last update."

Someone wants to meet Teacher Weera.

Professor Ayako came to Thailand
to see handcrafts.

Good morning.

Um…Mr. Weera?

Yes, you can speak Thai?

Yes. My name is Ayako.

Um...I’m interested in…Yan Lipao.

I see. I’m happy to help.

Thank you.

I’ll leave this to you then.

- Please.
- Thank you.

Hello.

Hello.

This one is called Yan Lipao.

Amazing.

Thank you.

"If you read this."

It means you have forgive
in our friendship.

Okay. We are here.

It’s here.

I googled this.

They say Yan Lipao crafts
are made in many locations.

Such as Na Khian, Tha Ruea,
Pho Sadet and Na Sai.

But this place
is the one closest to the city

Let’s get inside.

- Okay.
- Go.

- Hello.
- Hello, welcome.

Please feel free to browse.

Look. There are so many styles.

Aren’t they beautiful?

Why the price is different?

Excuse me.

Can I ask why the prices
for these two items are so different?

Well, this piece
is the finely woven type.

- Hold on.
- Okay.

- I’m sorry. He’s not Thai.
- No problem.

Google Translate.

So, this one is the finely woven type.

And this one is the airy type,

which has a shorter length
of time of weaving.

It’s easier to make.

And there is a difference in technique.

We use a rattan structure,

together with a certain
weaving technique.

It’s similar to how we weave mats.

It is how we get this woven pattern.

So, we call this type the airy crafts.

I see.

- It’s easier. So, the price is…
- This one.

Yes.

Cheaper.

Whoa. This is cool.

Thank you.

We will have a workshop today.
Would you like to try it?

- Can I try it?
- Of course. You should try it.

- You wanna try?...Workshop.
- Workshop?

- Yes.
- Oh, yes.

Okay.

We use Lipao threads to produce crafts.

This is the rattan,

which we use as structure.

There are techniques
to make threads and weave them.

We split the big thread
into three smaller ones.

What are you doing?

This step is called Chak Liat.

It is how we make the fine thread.

Would you like to try?

You can try.

Okay, okay.

We use a small thread.

Like this one.

Keep pulling.

So that it’s even.

And can be used as a weaving material.

- It becomes smaller.
- Yes.

Keep doing it.

Oh, Lita.

Yan Lipao crafts…

are believed to have been
made since the Ayutthaya period.

It’s a product of local wisdom.

It was widely made in
Nakhon Si Thammarat.

But was not popular…

Until…

the regent, Chao Phraya Yommarat,

gifted royal members with it.

The elites of Bangkok learned
about with it.

And Yan Lipao became very popular
during King Rama V reign.

Wow.

This is such a sophisticated craft.

Why did Dad quit making it?

Hey.

There is nothing about your mom.

When did she come here?

She came here when I was…

five years old.

She returned to Japan…

when I was six.

She said she was…

reserch about Thai craft.

Ms. Toi, we are leaving.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.

Good luck.

Don’t forget to visit that place.

What place?

This is Khiriwong

The village with the best air.

Too bad, we came here too late.

Let’s come back here again.

Um. Okay.

If we came here in the morning,
this would be very beautiful

You would see the mountain and the mist.
And it would be cooler.

Can you see that?

The water is so clear and cool.

I will take you back.

- And the bridge is pretty too.
- Lita.

A gift...

for you.

When did you buy those?

May I put them on for you?

Thank you.

Where were you?
Why did you come home so late?

When I was in Bangkok,
I came home later than this.

I took Takumi around today.

We went to the museum.

I saw your name there.

I have never seen you weave anything.

How come you quit weaving Yan Lipao.

Dad.

I’m begging you.

Just tell me already.
I really want to know.

What happened between you
and Takumi’s mom?

So, you are going to keep quiet.
And not say anything?

Aren’t you concerned about my feelings,
Mom’s feelings,

or Takumi’s feelings?

I think you only care
about your feelings.

Take him to see me at five
in the morning tomorrow.

Five in the morning?

What are you trying to do now?

Huh?

I will tell you everything.

Hey.

Wait, Dad.

Why don’t you just tell me now?

Just tell me.

Oh.

Don’t forget to return the thing
that you took from me.

It’s not yours.

So, don’t get involved.

Aren’t you a nagger?

The type of Yan Lipao vine that we use…

is the one called Yan Lipao Yai.

Its stem is as wide as a matchhead.

It’s slim, long and tough.

We use this vine.

Because it’s highly durable and tough.

The one found is this forest
is used for weaving.

There are black and brown vines.

Here.

Look. This is what its leaves look like.

Once we have fresh Lipao vine.

We will start with…

peeling the stem.

Then, we do the Chak Liat pulling
as the first step of weaving.

We will…

choose stems that are straight…

and long.

Then, we will check if…

Peel it off.

When will you tell your story, Dad?

Hey.

Like this.

Okay.

So, you are going to tell it now?

Do you know how long it took
to make this box?

One month?

Six months.

Whoa.

Six months.

How much can you sell it?

Pay me 15,000 baht.

15,000 baht?

Wow. What do buyers do with this?

They aren’t just buying a box.

They are buying
its sophistication and beauty,

determination and patience,

as well as the time spent to make this.

Oh, so it means…

Takumi’s mother liked the craftsmanship.

That’s why she bought the box.

That’s all?

- Right?
- Um.

But why was there a letter?

Huh?

Why? Why did she write a letter?

Hey. What are you doing?

Use this to practice focusing.

Perhaps it will give you an idea…

what you should do
when you are unemployed.

Dad.

Hello, Pong.

Yan Lipao weaving...

is not complicated.

What you are supposed to do…

is making it in the simplest way possible.

The most important step

is the Chak Liat pulling.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Dad.

You no longer have
an unemployed daughter.

Because her boss just begged her
to go back to work.

And offered a pay raise of 20 percent.

What did you tell him?

I told him that…

It’s not convenient for me.

You are playing hard to get.

Well, Dad.

There might be a pay raise,
but there will be more stress as well.

It’s not worth paying the medical bills.

You just don’t have patience.

Look at Takumi.

Hey, don’t be so critical.

Give me some. I will show you.

Here.

It’s not that hard.

See. It’s just that.

See?

Terrible work.

The Yan Lipao craft…

has a life of its own.

That’s why a Yan Lipao item…

can last a hundred year.

Your mother’s box as well.

Your mother…

was the liveliest woman

I had ever known.

Here in southern Thailand,

there are a lot of heavy rains.

The air is humid.

So, we have a lot of Lipao vines.

They are very tough and durable.

Amazing.

Please let me help you.

Thank you.

Amazing.

I can’t believe…

this kind of weed…

It is really a weed.

But everything has a value,

depending on how you look at it.

Ah...

I will stay here two weeks
to learn this.

Can you teach me about this, Weera?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I can do it.

Mr. Weera.

Here’s your Yan Lipao.

Oh, okay.

They came from Yala to deliver Yan Lipao.

I wrote that...

in Yala,

Satun,

- Pat…
- Pattani.

Pattani.

And…

Nara…

Narathiwat.

- Ah, Narathiwat.
- Yes.

They grow Yan Lipao.

Yes.

Well.

In areas where land is not used,

people are encouraged to grow Yan Lipao,

which can provide jobs or extra income.

That’s great.

It’s like connecting…

differences…

of cultures.

Yes.

Umm.

Excuse me.

Can I have a look at this one?

Thank you.

So beautiful.

This one has an octagon shape.

Can we…

make one in a hexagon shape?

I’m not sure.

Is it difficult?

I just haven’t tried it.

I think it might take some time.

And…

You are about to go back soon, right?

What if I stayed,

would you make one for me?

Okay.

Weera,

you have…

a lot of…

patience.

I have this patience because of you.

Are you okay?

The day after tomorrow,

I will have to go back to Japan.

Can you not go back?

I don’t want you to go.

I…

want you to stay here.

I really have to go back.

Goodbye.

Please stay with me.

I want to build a family.

I will make you the happiest person.

Stay with me.

Please.

I really can’t stay.

Ayako.

Argh.

Weera.

Weera.

Weera.

- Weera, wait.
- I don’t want to talk.

Weera, wait.

I love you.

Ayako, I…

I’m sorry, Weera.

You knew how I felt about you. Ayako...

I love you.

Why didn’t you tell me?

I’m sorry.

I didn’t intend for this to happen.

But I did.

It’s true, Weera.

I did everything for you.

I’m sorry, Weera.

From now on,
we will not have any shared memories.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Aah.

Weera.

Weera.

And that was the last time
I met your mother.

But I’m happy.

That you came here to look for an answer.

Because it made me realize that…

she still kept that box.

...

Please excuse me.

Takumi, I will give you a ride.

Can you teach me how to weave? Please.

Aww, Miss Angsumalin.

You are falling in love
with Takumi, aren’t you?

You look great with these earrings.

You don’t have anyone
waiting for you there, do you?

It’s not coming back.

Dream and reality

put us on separate paths.

But our bond
is woven deeply and beyond.

You are still here in my heart.

When I think of you, I see you clearly.

I only have to close my eyes
to see our good times in the past.

If I could revert the time,

I would still choose to love you,

even if I knew we would have to part.

At least I know

that I got to love you.
