Blow your nose. Again! OK!

See? Now you are pretty.

- What's your name? - Michiko.

- How old are you? - Five.

I am 5 years old.

Do you know your father's name?

Murakami Shinji.

- OK. And your mother's name? - Asako.

And your house?

- In Meguro Ward. - In Meguro! And where is your house in Meguro Ward?

I don't know.

You don't know...

We are in trouble...

You know, there is a field.

On the right side, there is Yoshiko's place.

And my house is next to her house.

Really.

But with only "next to Yoshiko's place", we can't do anything...

And today you have come to Ginza with your father?

Or with your mother?

With my mother. And with a baby.

We came here to buy my hat,

my clothes and my red shoes.

Wow, that sounds nice!

But...

You don't know your address...

Hi! Is she lost?

She says she came shopping with her mother.

And she only knows her house is next to Yoshiko's place in Meguro Ward.

So we are in trouble now...

She's cute. Can I take a walk around here with her?

As with the boy last time, if we are lucky, we may find her mother.

Nice idea! It's very helpful.

Let's go, then!

Thank you very much.

Michiko.

You can go with this man and he will help you look for your mother.

Excuse me.

If you can't find her mother by the evening, please take her to the police station.

OK, I will.

Please.

OK.

Does your mother wear Western clothes?

No, she wears a kimono.

- And does she have a perm? - What's a perm?

It's like that woman's hair.

Oh, that is a perm.

Yes, she does have a perm. Yoshiko's mother did it this morning for her.

Oh, is your mother beautiful?

- Hi. - Hello.

I've found a lost child again.

- Is someone looking for her? - I don't know.

- I'm taking a walk with her around here. If someone comes for her, please tell me. - OK.

- What's your mother's name? - Asako.

My father is Murakami Shinji.

And my sister is Sacchan.

Oh, you are clever.

And where is your house?

Next to Yoshiko's house.

Apparently in Meguro.

In Meguro.

Next to Yoshiko's house.

- Thank you. - See you. - Thank you.

Hi!

You've come to Ginza. I should have come with you.

It was lucky for me seeing you here.

I want to buy a summer kimono. The station is here.

- Can you help me to choose? - Alright.

- But I've lost Michiko. I'm looking for her. - Oh, how awful!

I'll help you look!

I haven't seen her on my way. She must be somewhere else.

Is she your mother?

- No. She is more beautiful. - OK, she isn't. Your mother is more beautiful.

More beautiful.

More beautiful.

You don't need to walk like me.

You shouldn't walk like me.

You shouldn't walk like me, OK? I'll walk normally.

I don't know what to do...

- Hi. - Hi.

You've got a child today?

Yes. She's got lost.

- It's unusual to see you in Ginza in the daytime. - Yes.

Tonight I'll go to Osaka.

Really. So you need to take a walk now before going to Osaka.

That's right.

Thank you.

The sunlight is too bright during the day in Ginza, isn't it?

If you look at me in a fierce way, I'll cry, OK?

Look.

It's always being advertised. Let's check it out!

- But I'm looking for Michiko... - Only a few minutes!

Welcome.

You see! What do you think?

- How nice! - Welcome.

This oil stove is our original product.

We designed it for a modern kitchen.

Now our life has changed so much.

But many people still cook with wood or charcoal.

From an economical viewpoint, it doesn't make sense at all.

Take for example, a family using charcoal.

They buy 3 packs multiplied by 400 yen, in total 1200 yen per month.

But if they use this oil stove,

they need just 500 yen per month for oil.

It costs only 1/4 of the charcoal.

So it's really economical.

- And also... - Excuse me, no more preliminaries...

- I understand this is wonderful. But how much is it? - The price is...

Now we have a special price. It's 3500 yen.

- And this one is 3950 yen. - 3000? - Yes.

- I'll talk with my husband. -Thank you...

Thank you for waiting. Let's go!

- Hi. Are you taking care of a lost child again? - Yes.

If you see a mother looking for a child, please tell me. Her name is Murakami Asako.

OK.

She is more beautiful.

- More beautiful. Right, Michiko? - Yes, that's right!

Thank you for your help.

Hey, let's ask him about Michiko. He may know something.

- Please. - Welcome.

- You lost something? - Yes.

You have good luck.

You got Mars and Mercury.

Mars, Mercury, and Mercury.

These five are lucky.

Do you know about fortune-telling? You don't?

This is called 5 KEI...

of Shina.

It's based on yin and yang.

It's from astronomy, geography, personal matters, and the universe...

Wait a moment, please.

Thank you for waiting.

About 5 KEI. It's from astronomy, geography, personal matters, and the universe...

- It's based on... - How much? I'm in a hurry.

50 yen.

We've heard less than half, so you should only give a tip.

Don't cry, don't cry.

It's a tip.

Thank you.

You should put it back.

Do you want some sweets?

This one?

This one and that one.

You can only choose one. You can't eat both.

One is for the baby, my sister.

You are a nice sister!

But we can buy more later.

- How much? - 50 yen.

Thank you.

You've a day off today?

- Yes. - How nice.

Have you seen Mr. Maki?

No.

I haven't seen him yet today.

What is he doing!

We are going to the cinema, so we're supposed to meet here.

That's nice!

- If you see him, please tell him that I'm waiting for him here. - OK.

I will.

Thank you for your visit.

Welcome.

Mister.

They sell the same sweets here.

Here, too. But we've already bought them.

But...

you said you'd buy more later. You meant here, right?

Hum... she has a good memory.

You know, there is a huge one further ahead.

Really?

Really.

Wait a moment. There are 1, 2, 3... 4 sweet shops on this street...

Oh dear! Let's go to the other side.

OK, let's go.

- Mister. - The shops are ahead.

- Mister! - They are ahead!

What's the matter?

I need to do it.

What do you need to do?

Pee!

Pee!?

Let's go!

Can you still hold back?

You can do it here.

[DON'T PEE HERE] Oh, no...

- Welcome. - Can we use the bathroom?

Please do.

You can go, I'll be here, OK?

What would you like to have?

Kuri-Zenzai is 50 yen...

Kuri-Shiruko 60 yen, Kuri-Anmitsu 70 yen, Ogura-Ice 40 yen...

- Ogura-Ice. - OK.

Ogura-Ice, one.

What do you want?

Again.

- I want Anmitsu. - Another Anmitsu, please.

Another Anmitsu.

- They say it like that. - So they are bad.

No, you are bad.

What are you saying!

Mr. Maki!

- Someone is waiting for you! - Who? - Well...

I know, I know...

Sabur� Yoshida, right?

- No... - I know, I know...

Actually he is waiting for me.

I suppose he couldn't stay in the hotel last night.

They haven't served us yet.

I need to go to the bank.

Today is Saturday. So the bank closes at noon.

That's right.

Well, I need to go somewhere else.

- I'll go. - What?

- You're going to leave me? - No...

So...

- See you. - Why don't you eat what you've ordered?

I know but...

As you know, I'm here because you like sweets.

I prefer spicy food.

What? You said sometimes you want sweets.

Then you walked in here.

I was looking forward to having a Japanese-style hamburger,

which you recommended.

Why didn't you say that before?

Why are you so nervous?

When you're with me, you are always restless.

- No, I'm not. - I know.

- You thought you'd just treat me to a dessert and send me away! - Not at all.

Don't get jealous!

We're wasting time.

No money.

- You have. - Where?

There.

You found out.

Here you are.

- You are with a lost child, again? - Yes.

Give her my order.

Thank you.

Come with me. You can have a nice dessert.

Poor little girl.

- She is a beautiful woman, isn't she? - See you!

Madam, let's eat together.

Nice to meet you.

Let's eat.

Mr. Ue.

- Hello! - Hello!

He's an executive of the NS trading company, isn't he?

You know him?

No. I haven't been invited to his party.

I heard he was popular.

Well, something like that.

You are with a lost child, again?

Yes.

You always take good care of lost children.

No, I don't do that so often.

I volunteered to take her with me.

How strange she is.

She became perfectly attached to me.

So she completely forgot about her mother.

Really? Anyway, I admire you.

You are always taking care of lost children. My assistant is a fan of yours.

- Really? - Not such a big one.

But I admire you. Mr. Ue in Ginza is well-known.

Thank you.

Every day I walk around and I know many people.

Some of them smile at me, and some of them say hello.

I don't know why they come and what they want to buy. But every day there are people walking.

That's right. I walk through Ginza once a day as if I were very busy.

- If I didn't, I'd feel nervous. - I guess so.

Anyway, according to my experience, this type of person is usually alone.

- Really? - This type of person never goes window-shopping.

They don't walk among people.

They walk calmly as if they are entering the sea or their own house.

But...

- I know only one exception. - Which one?

She looks like a lady in Yamanote.

She walks at noon and at night.

She is with a man.

I'm not talking about you.

Sorry.

So they are a married couple, and are taking a walk.

But...

sometimes the man is different.

Sometimes, at noon and at night, she is walking with a different man.

Wow. She is popular!

Usually it's a young man.

But sometimes he's a student.

When we are quietly walking,

someone says to us sometimes:

"Hello!" or "Hey!", etc....

I've seen his face before, but I don't remember well.

Someone like him only comes with a director.

Or he entertains regular customers for business. He never pays himself.

Nevertheless, he acts like an expert in geisha entertainment.

Disgusting.

And regarding clothes and the attitude of the Ginza women,

I don't know if they are girls from a good family or waitresses.

But I can't see the difference between them and prostitutes.

That's right. Regardless of what they say, prostitutes influence people.

- How unpleasant. - Two more anmitsus.

That must be the lady they were talking about.

I hope my acquaintance will come.

Hello!

Mr Taka? This is Kazuko.

I'm in Ginza now, but I'm bored.

Can we go to the cinema? Let's go!

What? You are busy?

You are never busy!

Why don't we go!

OK, then, I'll wait for you by Sukiya-bashi. See you.

- Hi! - If we had met a little bit earlier...

What happened?

Nothing. I don't mind going with you. Can you come with me?

I can, but...

- I don't like "I don't mind going with you". - I'm sorry.

Something else was on my mind, so I spoke carelessly.

- You are a naughty girl! - Let's go!

Thank you very much.

- Thank you very much. - Welcome.

- What would you like to have? - What do you want?

- What do I want? - Don't hesitate.

I'll order something for you.

Two sodas, please. Wait a moment! Ice-cream sodas, please.

I'm tired.

- I'm really sorry you've walked so much. - Don't worry, it was nice exercise.

- Where is Michiko...? - Don't worry, Michiko is clever.

I'll go to the police to ask them to look for her.

Wait, you can go there after drinking this.

It's two o'clock!

I have an appointment with my husband at the Nihon Theatre at 2 pm.

I need to go now.

Please pay it for me.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

[2 glasses of ice-cream soda 160 yen]

I met you under the clear sky of Ginza.

It's our paradise. We were sitting side by side.

In the fashionable coffee shop at Yoko-town. Ginza 8-chome.

A street lined with trees reflected in the window.

Ginza is a town of love.

She likes a fashionable hat.

A breeze is blowing.

She is waiting for someone, her earring catches my attention.

Ginza 8-chome.

The signal of love hasn't sounded. Ginza is a town for young people.

What are you doing here?

I followed you.

What are you doing!

Where is the sandwich man?

I left him at the sweet shop.

We have a problem...

The man, whom you were with, is sitting there.

Please take this to him.

Hi, this is from the lady.

[Please take her to Mr Ueda, the sandwich-man]

I'm in trouble.

- Have you found your mother? - No.

Not yet. But...

I've found a neighbour.

You can go with her, then.

But I don't like her.

Why not?

Because she never stops talking and is stingy too.

Her neighbours hate her.

They...

And her neighbours hate her. - Yes.

That's right. And my mother doesn't like her.

So I don't like her, either.

We are in trouble then...

Come on, hurry up!

Let's go!

You shouldn't sit here. We'll have to leave leave you!

I'm tired.

You can carry her on your back.

Me, carry her on my back?

Yes, we can't leave her here.

I know...

Come on!

I hope none of my acquaintances see me...

We are in trouble...

I had a mishap...

- Hi! - What?

- What happened? - No problem!

Please walk ahead.

Hello.

- Hi, Takashi. - What happened?

I've got to look after this lost child.

What are you doing here?

My friend asked me to go to the cinema.

Cinema? With your friend?

Really...

I've been waiting for an hour, but she hasn't come.

How awful.

You're waiting for Kazuko? Waiting for her is a waste of time.

She never comes!

Hi!

What are you doing with her? She disappeared, and Mr. Ue ran off to look for her.

You know her! Wonderful!

Can you take her to Ueda, the Sandwich man?

- But, I have a class... - But you know her, don't you?

You know her, so please do it! Thank you!

But how can I...?

Mr.!!!

You shouldn't follow me! You should be with her!

Please take care of her!

But I have plans.

Mr.!!!

She's calling me again. Let's enter this shop.

Welcome.

- You have nice goods. - Yes.

- You have new goods? - Yes, we have.

- How much is this worth? - This is 8.500 yen.

OK.

And this?

- 26.000 yen. - What???

26.000 yen, all right... It's reasonable... very reasonable...

OK...

- An this crocodile skin bag? - This is 120.000 yen.

- What??? - 120.000 yen.

OK, 120.000 yen...

Really? It must be real. It's nice, quite reasonable...

She's coming!!!

Quickly!!!

Hey, has the girl come?

No.

Oh, no...

She's gone...

What? Have you lost her again?

Yes. I'm looking for her, but there's nothing doing.

Have you been to the police box?

I have. I heard her mother went there.

The police told her I was with her girl, so the mother is looking for me.

I'm in trouble...

I'll look for her with you.

I'll go to the west side, you go to the east. OK?

OK.

Oh, no...

Have you seen a pretty girl?

No, I haven't seen her.

The pretty girl wears a shoe like that?

I've taken it!

San-Chan, I need to look for her.

So, can you take it to the customer?

But I've got an urgent job.

I'll do it. So, please!

I'll treat you to a Croquette-Soba at Yoshida Restaurant later.

OK!

These shoes belong to employees of the company. Polish them quickly!

You mean I should work carelessly?

I can't work carelessly. It's not my nature.

I need to polish them until I'm satisfied.

The other day I took half a day.

A horrible person has taken his place.

Anyway, please polish them as you like.

The person who wears these

is an unrefined man, but he's sociable.

You know it! How do you know it?

I've worked for a long time, so I can guess someone's character.

Oh dear!

Then, can you guess from these?

I suppose...

The person who wears them...

has practical business ability.

I'm sorry but I suppose he's a stingy person.

You guessed right. That's right!

What do you think of the shoes of the head of a section?

I suppose he's a person who's very hardworking.

- Maybe he is a henpecked husband. - A henpecked husband!?

That's right!!! What a surprise!

Here, what about these?

The person who wears these...

looks open-hearted.

But they are surprisingly ill-natured.

You guessed right!

Oh, these are mine.

I'm sorry to have guessed right.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

Don't worry. Don't cry.

What happened?

Oh, shit!

Can I see?

Get out of my way! It's nothing! It's nothing!

Oh, a rat...

Oh, a rat...

- Have you seen her? - No, I haven't.

Oh, no... Can you go this way?

OK!

- Have you seen a small girl? - No, I haven't.

Really.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for coming today.

We would like to ask a favor.

Michiko, 5 years old, is lost.

If you see her, please tell us.

We would like to ask a favor.

Michiko, 5 years old, is lost.

If you see her, please tell us.

She isn't around here.

When I'm working, I don't notice.

But, what a big crowd!

In this street, if a small girl is lost,

she won't be found.

That's right!

I heard 30 children are lost every day.

There are traffic accidents, shoplifters.

- And pickpockets. - And trouble with the rat...

A short time ago when the shoplifter was arrested, people made a big fuss.

Really! There must have been a whole crowd of people.

A crowd gathered just for one rat.

- So many people. - There are too many people in Tokyo.

This country is overflowing with people.

So, I've decided I'll have only two children when I get married.

- Only two children? - Yes.

Oh, no...

Why?

I want a lot of children.

So they will be a politician, an artist, a businessman, a scientist, a farmer.

And a moneylender, a soldier. No, a soldier, no.

Anyway, lots of children with various jobs, I'll have no problems in the future.

Then you've no need to worry, only you can have children!

But you said only two children, right?

Yes, I've decided only two.

Then I have a problem!

Hey,

It seems to me that you are confused.

I don't want to be your wife!

You don't?

OK, I see...

You don't want...

Please ask me if you want to know about Ginza.

I know everything.

1, 2, 3 and 4-chome are at the center of the ward.

And 5, 6 , 7, and 8-chome are at the end of the ward.

Owari-Cho is to meet secretly.

A girl is waiting for someone looking around.

We don't have money, but we enjoy taking a walk.

This street is the place to make memories.

KIN-BASHA (GOLD CARRIAGE)

What?

You were running with a child on your back at Ginza.

It was so funny.

I seemed like a comedian.

You paid. You did something bad, didn't you?

No, I didn't. I never do anything bad.

- Really? - Of course. Give me another glass.

Well.

Anyway how surprised you were when you heard the bag was 120.000 yen.

What a sight you were.

Ah... but that's the normal price. I think it was quite reasonable.

What are you laughing at? Let's dance!

Welcome.

She must be that Madam in Yamanote.

Now I see.

Her companion is different from the man of this morning.

Can you change your seat?

I can observe her more easily.

Please.

Eisbein.

- Tartar Steak. - Certainly, madam.

And wine, please.

She's ordered Eisbein and Tartar Steak!

What a luxurious meal!

Building up energy, aren't they?

I'm waiting for her.

I'm waiting for her.

2, 4, 6,

8 and 10.

CONSULT ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL AFFAIRS Marriage. Money. Encounters. Directions, etc

Lucky us! Miharu was looking after her.

What shall we do now?

- We should take her to the police station. - I see.

I'll go with you!

You parked your car there knowing it was a no-parking area?

No, I didn't know. I didn't realize.

You did the same the other day, too.

- Yes. - You have done five times. - Yes.

I was angry and I shouted.

Then I wanted to apologize to him. But he started to hit me.

Then we fought. That's all.

You are adults.

Don't fight over such little things.

You're very ill-mannered...

Come on.

Tell me your name and address.

Please don't ask me.

If my husband knew I was here...

Not only him.

If my children knew, their future would be ruined.

If I appear in the newspapers,

my children will be bullied because their mother was a shoplifter.

If you had realized before...

I understand your feelings.

But I need your identity.

Do you understand?

I know it's hard for you.

But it's hard also for me.

Do you understand?

I'll listen to you.

Then we'll think what to do.

I also have a wife and children.

Meguro Ward.

Shimo Meguro.

1-6.

Wife of Murakami Shinji, Asako.

My husband is a company employee.

He was...

Lieutenant Commander.

The war was over when we married.

Then...

we were out of work for a long time.

Three months ago,

he got a job...

as an accountant.

We were out of work such a long time.

So we were really happy when he got a job.

But,

the money he gets...

is not enough to live on.

Then,

when it started to get hotter and hotter

we wanted to buy them...

their summer clothes.

It was our wish.

Then,

my husband went to work on foot.

And we saved money to buy their clothes.

But 2 or 3 days ago...

our daughter said Yoshiko, our neighbour, had been bought red shoes.

And she pestered me to buy her red shoes.

I tried to persuade her to have patience.

But when Yoshiko was playing wearing her red shoes,

she watched her so enviously.

She seemed so miserable.

It broke our hearts to see her.

My husband and I couldn't stand it.

Then...

with a little money that my husband had saved...

and some money I got when I sold some unneeded articles,

it's not necessary to buy good quality goods.

We just hoped to see her happy...

So we came here to shop.

At the beginning,

I never thought about stealing.

While I was checking all the shops...

this is better than that,

and that is better than this,

I tried to choose the best shoes.

But...

It was difficult to buy them with our money.

In the meantime,

I lost sight of my daughter.

I was looking for her all over, coming and going,

Two or three times in Ginza, I couldn't find her.

While I was looking for her,

I passed some shoe shops.

I stopped and I couldn't move from there.

But...

At the same time... I never thought about stealing them.

I saw the price,

and the only thing I could do was to sigh.

Looking for my child,

when I passed the shop

some time later...

my eyes were fixed...

on these red shoes.

While I saw these shoes,

I could imagine Michiko

playing, wearing these shoes.

How happy she was wearing them,

and she was showing the shoes to Yoshiko, her friend.

And as I thought this,

I was walking away with the shoes.

When I looked down,

I thought her image would vanish.

Then I realized I'd been caught.

I'll be punished. I'll accept any punishment.

But, please...

for my child's sake...

for Michiko, don't tell her. Please!

Please...

THE END
