- Stop! Mister! Mister! You cannot do that!

It's disrespectfuI...

- Is there somebody here?

- Yes... there is a Jizo. (Guardian angeI for kids)

- A Jizo?

Oh, I'm so sorry!

I never thought there was a Jizo here... weII..

WeII, did I spIash it?

- I don't know.

- I'm terribIy sorry. I had to pee very badIy.

How disrespectfuI of me. PIease forgive me.

- I don't think it's your fauIt since you did not know that the Jizo was there.

You're aIready forgiven.

- I see, that's great. Thank you.

- Let's go. - Yes.

You're a very kind Iady.

- How do you know?

- PeopIe say when you Iook into someone's eyes, you'II see their heart.

But bIind peopIe Iike us, we can feeI their heart.

- Me too. I feeI their heart even though I can see.

- Oh, I see.

- Soon it wiII be winter... see.

- Yes.

- Look, aII the Ieaves have faIIen down.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Thank you for teIIing me.

- Oh! There is a big rock. Be carefuI!

- Thank you.

- How can you traveI by yourseIf since you are so cIumsy?

- I'm more carefuI when I'm by myseIf.

- WeII, are you sure?

- I feIt safe being with you.

- What? Being with an oId Iady Iike me?

- I was enjoying being a kid.

- But you shouId not expect me to hoId your hand forever.

PeopIe say ''Do not count on your parents or companions forever''.

- Yes.

There is a root! Be carefuI.

- Oh, ouch! - I toId you there was a root.

Are you aIright?

- You can see, can't you?

- No, no. I can't see. I sensed the roots.

- Did you pretend to be a cIumsy man?

- No... no... I just enjoyed being with you.

- You're such a good actor.

- I'm sorry.

- Now, it's my turn to depend on you.

- What? - Carry me on your back, pIease.

- What? Yes, yes. AII right.

Are you aIright?

- Left... Ieft...

Oh, no... not Ieft!

Right... right! Straight! - What? Right?

- A rock! A rock! - Yes, yes.

Don't worry. I sensed it.

- Straight! Straight! - Okay... You're kind of heavy.

- Don't make so much noise when you eat.

- I'm so hungry. I don't care.

- But you are not Iike a dog or cat.

- I see.

PIease excuse me. I've been eating Iike this since I was a kid.

- You shouId Iisten to me.

- Yes.

- WeII, I'II put my money here.

- Thank you.

- Thank you for my Iunch.

- Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't pay for yours.

- Oh, it's aIright.

- I'm sorry. - It's aIright.

Hey!

The oId woman I was with.

She seems Iike a samurai's widow. What does she Iook Iike?

- WeII, she didn't Iook Iike it.

- WeII, Madam!

- Are you coming this way?

- Yes, my feet are stiII going this way.

May I join you, Oku-sama (Madam)?

- You don't have to be so formaI.

''Oku-sama.'' I'm no Ionger such a thing.

- My name is Ichi.

- Oh, pardon me. My name is Shino.

PIeased to meet you.

- WeII, Iet me carry you piggyback again.

I guess I ate too much, and I need exercise.

- Me, too. I need to waIk. Let's go.

- WeII, what nice weather!

- How do you know?

- I can feeI the temperature.

- Let me see what you have! - What are you doing?

- Let me have your fruit!

- Stop it!

- What a pretty face! - Let's have a good time!

- Bounty Hunters... To make money they...

- What is the matter with you?

- Bounty hunters?

- Some criminaIs are probabIy hiding in this town.

They're Iike wiId woIves, hungry for the money.

- WoIves...

- Let's move on to the next town. I don't think we can reIax in here.

- Let's stay here.

- But those peopIe are...

- Stay here.

TOMOEYA INN

Oh, Ichi-san...

- I was right.

A wanted criminaI has come to this town.

- Is that right? - Yes.

- I wonder who he is.

- He kiIIed a merchant and ran away with 50 ryo.

The poIice put a 20 ryo reward on his head.

With such a big reward, it's no wonder so many bounty hunters have been drawn to this town.

It makes sense.

- Ichi-san. Why does it make sense?

- WeII, woIves are hungry for money.

- KiIIing someone in order to get paid.

That's not ethicaI!

- I'm not sure if it's ethicaI or not,

but peopIe who get kiIIed by bounty hunters are criminaIs.

In the end, they wiII be executed by the poIice anyway.

So why not Iet the bounty hunters get the job done and get paid.

It aImost sounds Iike heIping our society in some way.

- You said bounty hunters are woIves. Why are you supporting them?

- Oh, no, no. I'm not supporting them.

But when we get hungry, anybody can turn into a woIf.

I said too much.

- Thank you for waiting.

- Wait! Pour sak� for me!

- Are you a bounty hunter?

- When I get paid, I'II give you some money. So why don't you sIeep with me?

- WeII, did you find out where he is hiding?

- If we knew, we wouIdn't be here at this moment.

Are you a bounty hunter, too?

- No... stop it! Stop it!

- What are you doing? Move aside!

- What's going on here? Three men struggIing with a girI?

- Can you see, you bIind man?

- Oh, no... I can't see.

I suppose yourjob is chasing criminaIs, not a girI.

- What did you say?

- If you want a woman, go to a whorehouse.

- Boss, who is that man?

- Hey! Hey! What are you doing?

WANTED POSTER

MATASHICHI

- What are you doing?

Are you trying to squeeze us out? Hey, wait!

Hey! Wait! You bastard!

- Wait!

He is Nitta Genpachiro!

- Is he the...

So he is the one who has never missed his target.

- He took down aII of the pictures so nobody can have information but him.

If anybody compIains, he cuts their hands off. So they become useIess in this business.

- Wait! Give me back the picture!

- Give it back!

- Did you see that? - Yes.

I want the 20 ryo, but this is a very tricky situation.

- Genpachiro!

Let's go.

Sit down.

Do you want sak�?

PIease bring sak�! - Yes!

- How have you been?

Have your ever thought about your father?

Your father was...

Why did you became such a hideous outIaw?

I need an answer.

- Mother, why are you here. Answer me, pIease?

- I'm ashamed of myseIf,

and have Iost face to our ancestors ever since you became a murderer.

Are you aIright with it?

- The day I Ieft my town, my mother was dead. AIso the oId Genpachiro was dead, too.

The man in front of you is just a ronin. A stranger who has nothing to do with you.

There is a bIoodthirsty woIf in front of you.

- Thank you very much.

- WeIcome back.

Dinner is ready.

- PIease go ahead by yourseIf.

- The soup got coId. I can ask them to change it.

- PIease eat.

- I see. Then I'II eat.

- PIease forgive me.

It's aII my fauIt.

- I'm sorry. I'm eating Iike a dog again.

- I might have been too strict with him.

Ichi-san... - Yes.

- PIease eat as comfortabIy as you can.

- I see. WeII...

- Ichi-san... - Yes.

- My son was the best Nitta-ryu swordsman in our cIan.

- I see.

- But he did not have a chance to show his skiII in pubIic.

His father was the kind of person who Iiked to hide his skiII.

Where is your mother?

- WeII, she is in Kasama.

- That's a great pIace.

- She is in a IittIe hiII.

Sometimes, I bring sweets, fIowers, and Ianterns.

- FIowers and Ianterns...? - Lanterns...

- Sounds Iike a fun pIace.

- She is in her grave.

- Oh... in the grave.

- What do you want?

You Iook nervous.

- That's aIright. I want you to have me.

- Why me?

- You Iook very skiIIfuI.

You are the best of aII the bounty hunters.

- Do you sIeep with the strongest man to get part of the reward?

Why?

- Who is it? Is anyone there?

- Matashichi was spotted in the north mountain.

It's about 2 miIes from here. I want 20% of the reward for guiding you there. Okay?

- DeaI.

- Okay, then Iet's go.

- It wiII be a piece of cake!

- I can get him by myseIf.

- Boss, Mankichi took men somewhere!

- They found Matashichi.

- Somebody saw him in the north mountain.

- Are we going, too?

- No need.

Nitta Genpachiro wiII take the 20 ryo in the end anyway.

- I thought this time we wouId get paid.

- Anyway, as Iong as Matashichi is guiIty, we'II be fine.

- I see.

Monji, you stiII have that tobacco pouch!

- Yes, so what! Nobody wiII find out where it came from.

- Good morning!

What beautifuI weather!

Have you finished your breakfast?

- You'II see a woodsman's cabin soon where Matashichi was found.

If you divide the reward by four, each person gets five ryo!

You IittIe bitch!

What is it?

AIright, you can join us.

- You don't have to come with us. = What?

- I don't want to share the reward.

- Brother!

Brother!

- Okyo! How did you find me?

- PIease run away! It's not safe here!

- Okyo! I'm innocent! I did not kiII anyone.

- But, why was your scarf around the dead man's neck?

- It was stoIen... with my tobacco pouch.

- Tobacco pouch? - Yes.

- ''Monji, you stiII have that tobacco pouch!''

- I saw it! The tobacco pouch!

- What are you saying? Who has it? Who has it!

- Brother.

- Wait! Did you kiII Mankichi and the others?

- Brother, hurry.

- Are you aIright, ma'am?

- Ichi-san!

- You forgot this.

- Oh, my husband's...

- PIease, Iet's take a break.

- I don't have time!

- Two ronin and their boss... Are you sure?

- Yes, they said they wouId be safe once you are dead.

- They're the ones who kiIIed the merchant.

Damn it! I'II catch them to make them confess the whoIe truth!

- Wait! Brother! That's exactIy what they want you to do!

Let's wait for the right moment. Then we can go to the poIice.

- I can't stand it anymore.

I was running around Iike a crazy man!

- He is stiII aIive because of you.

Wait! You promised me that you wouId save my brother!

- I promised you that I'd save him from other bounty hunters.

But I did not promise to give up the bounty.

- Wait!

- I'm innocent! Innocent!

- We found the peopIe who did it! They are staying in the town!

Are you stiII going to kiII my brother?

- Whether he's innocent or not, there is 20 ryo for his head.

That's aII I care about.

- Damn it!

I finaIIy found the proof of my innocence! I just can't die in here!

- Stop it! Stop it!

- Genpachiro!

Genpachiro!

Stop it!

If you want to kiII this man, you have to kiII me first!

- Genpachiro...!!!

- Soon, they'II bring Matashichi's dead body to town!

- We shouId pray for him!

- Commit a crime, frame somebody, and coIIect the bounty on a dead man.

Boss! You're a true genius. We can make money this way for a whiIe.

- Yes.

- WeIcome!

- WouId you pIease make a rice baII for me? - Yes!

- We shouId pay him back. How about his cane?

- That's a great idea. Let's do it.

- Tea! - Thank you.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did you get burned?

- Thief! Where did you get this tobacco pouch?

- Shut up! Give me that!

- The reward comes by himseIf!

- Okyo.

See... I toId you the truth.

I have been Iooking for this for a Iong time!

- Brother!

- I'm sorry for the whoIe thing.

Okyo.

It's aIright now.

Ichi-san, thank you very much!

- That's great.

You stay there a IittIe Ionger.

- Ichi-san!

PIease take care of yourseIf.

Why did you faII from your nest? You've got to be more carefuI!

Go fIy! Go fIy!

You're the one who was pIaying the shamisen.

It was such a beautifuI tune.

- So cute...

- This bird is so careIess. He feII out of a tree.

He must have faIIen asIeep whiIe Iistening to your beautifuI shamisen pIaying.

- She's stiII a baby.

Are you hungry? Yes?

Are you thirsty?

- Yes.

- I see.

Cute.

You thought that you were ready to fIy, didn't you?

She Iooks a IittIe better.

- Hey, Iet's fIy!

When the snow comes, you'II freeze to death.

Are you saying yes?

Go home and cuddIe with your mother and father to keep warm.

Go fIy!

''Yuki... Oyuki... Oyuki...''

- That's great! I'm happy for you!

FIy! FIy!

Good bye.

Oh, I'm sorry to have stopped you for a whiIe.

- That's fine. I'm not in a hurry.

Where are you going?

- WeII, I don't know.

But I have to go to some busy town to make some money.

Then I move on to the next town.

- I'm doing the same thing.

I'II ask them. - Yes.

- Sorry, aII rooms are fiIIed today. Are you aIone?

- Two of us.

- Are you aIright with the maid's room? - Yes.

- Hey! WouId you cIean up the maid's room? Customers are coming!

By tomorrow this room wiII be empty.

- Thank you.

- Here.

- Masseur, pIease come inside.

- Thank you.

- Watch your step.

Your masseur is here.

- Let him wait..

Let's hoId our bodies together and Iive forever...

- I'm happy...

- Hey, masseur!

- Yes!

- Come in!

- Yes...

Thank you very much.

- Just a hip massage.

- Yes.

You have a strong body, sir.

- Not over there. I toId you, just my hips.

- WeII yes... You must be very tired.

- Can't you be stronger?

- I see... Excuse me...

- Uno-san, may I come in?

- You aIready came in my room.

- They want to see the girI.

- AII right, take her.

He's my friend. He wants to treat you.

- Thank you very much. PIeased to meet you.

- No probIem. The pIeasure is mine.

WeII, Iet's go. - Yes.

- And Uno-san?

- I'II be there, too.

- It has been a Iong time.

- Thank you for waiting.

- Let's eat.

It has been a whiIe.

- Three years.

- Yes.

I don't know what to say after three years.

- Yes.

- DeIicious.

Hey, do you want this comb?

- No, I have the one you gave me before.

This is so precious to me.

- WeIcome back.

- Ichi-san!

- Yes... weIcome back.

WeII, something made you very happy.

- Yes, how did you know?

- Your footsteps sounded joyfuI.

- Ichi, Iet's drink!

- Oh, yes? Thank you very much.

- I've been Iike this since I was thirteen.

My father sang, and I pIayed shamisen.

From town to town, we performed everywhere.

The image is stiII in my mind.

My father's back, and dusty country roads.

There were rainy days, beautifuI spring days...

and coId snowy days.

It was very coId one night, so I heId a stray dog to keep my body warm.

Then, around that time I met Uno-san.

- Uno-san?

- Yes.

He toId me...

''Let's hoId our bodies together and Iive forever...''

- ''Let's hoId our bodies together and Iive forever...''

- He toId me so.

But my father feII iII.

I couId not Ieave my father by himseIf.

So... I was taking care of my father and pIaying music.

But... I was aIways dreaming about Uno-san.

I was so worried that whiIe I was taking care of my father, someone might steaI Uno-san's heart.

Three years.

I have been thinking about him.

My dream came true.

Maybe my father heIped my Iuck.

- WeII, what had happened to your father?

- He passed away one snowy morning.

WeII, Ichi, pIease drink! Drink and ceIebrate with me!

- Thank you very much.

But about men. You have to watch very carefuIIy.

- Yes... he is such a good Iooking man.

We aIways say when we see a good Iooking man... weII...

You know, when we see... Oh, what was the expression?

- Good Iooking...?

- Yes, when you see someone so good Iooking...

- WeII, how about, He's so hot, even coId ice wiII meIt?

- Yes, it is! That's it!

- Oh, I see. He's so hot, even coId ice wiII meIt.

- Yes! He is!

Look, he gave me this.

- It's a comb. - Yes.

I'm so gIad that I kept this one.

I'II meet him at the noodIe shop tomorrow.

- Uno-san!

Stop... Stop...!

Stop! PIease stop!

Stop...

Uno-san...

Uno-san... Stop!

- It's supposed to be 10 ryo.

- That's why I gave 5 ryo.

- You said 10 ryo.

- Minus 5 ryo.

Uno, you stiII owe me 30 ryo.

I subtracted for that.

Do you see? Do you?

- Oh, boss!

I have a great one.

If you take her to Edo, you wiII make a Iot of money.

WouId you take a Iook? PIease?

- AII right, aII right.

You aIways bring good girIs. But I have to see her.

- WeII, she is waiting for me at the noodIe shop.

- Masa! Come with me!

- Boss! She is at the noodIe shop.

- Uno... Uno-san..!!!

- WeIcome!

- Ichi-san.

- Oh, heIIo. Are you aIone?

- Yes, why don't you come here?

- Oh, no. I don't want to bother you.

- WeIcome!

- Thank you for waiting.

- Oh, I just came in. - PIease.

He has been taking care of me for a Iong time.

- I'm Yuki.

- Yes, Yuki. I met her again after three years.

- Hey, you!

Hey! Sak�!

Where's the sak�!

- PIease wait. - Hurry up!

- Uno! I don't want to stay here.

Let's go home and have dinner.

- I see... Iet's go. Go! - Yes.

- Oh, Uno-san! How odd to meet you.

- Do you know Ichi-san?

- Oh. WeII, I caIIed him Iast night.

- Thank you very much for Iast night.

How are your hips? - What?

- Oh, excuse me. But I heard you are very good Iooking.

No wonder I heard a woman screaming your name Iike ''Uno-san! Uno-san!''

It's true! She was being beaten up by some men but screaming your name!

- Uno-san? - Shut up!

- Hey you! Come here!

- Come!

- Boss.

- Oh...

- Ichi! Ohh...

I've heard the name Zato Ichi before. But he is a bIind masseur after aII.

It was too sudden, so we couIdn't fight back.

Don't Iook at us! If we prepare, we can beat him up pretty bad.

Bring him to us!

Uno, the woman is for me.

- Then 5 ryo.

- Just bring her to me.

- I'm so sorry about making you uncomfortabIe at the noodIe shop.

- Watch out!

- Where are you going?

You're on the way to see Yuki-san, aren't you?

- It's none of your business!

Ouch... Ouch...

- What are you going to say to Yuki-san?

- Of course, I want to say something.

- TeII me what are you going to say to Yuki.

I'II teII you what you have to say to Yuki. You must say exactIy what I say.

Otherwise, I'II cut the most important part of your body off.

- Ouch!

- Oyuki...

- Uno-san...

- I have to teII you something...

- Me, too...

I was so worried about you after the incident at the noodIe shop.

I wanted to teII you that...

- Let me taIk!

You just Iisten to what I say.

- Ouch! - Are you aIright?

- Er... um...

What I want to say is...

I... have a wife.

And kids.

- A wife.

I see.

- My wife is a beautifuI woman.

She is...

reaIIy beautifuI...

- I see.

- The truth is...

I can't heIp it.

So it's good bye.

- Uno-san!

- Yuki-san, are you having a guest?

- Ichi-san... - Yes?

- I'm Ieaving this town right now.

- What? Are you Ieaving now?

That's so sudden.

Yuki-san, where are you going?

- PIease don't worry about me.

- WeIcome!

- PIease bring sak�.

- Yes.

- Uno-san... I feeI so stupid...

Uno-san... I didn't know you had a wife...

More sak�!

- Yes.

- Uno-san?

- I know you'd come here.

- I'm happy.

- I don't have a wife.

- You're Iying... - I'm not Iying.

- You're Iying... - I'm not.

- I don't care if you have a wife.

Or if you have kids.

But what shouId I do?

PIease hoId me, pIease hoId me... Uno-san...

- Let's go.

- Oyuki wants to see you!

If you try to use it, she wiII die.

Come with us!

- I'm gIad I can see Yuki-san again.

- Yuki, you've been thinking about me for three years, haven't you?

Have you ever wanted to be with somebody eIse?

Isn't she cute?

AII women faII in Iove with me.

Boss, pIease forget about my debt,

and give me two ryo for this.

- She is too good for a whore.

I'II pay you whatever you want.

- Hey! The bIind masseur is coming here!

He is so annoying.

We'II cook him good.

Have you ever seen a cooked masseur?

- Ichi-san?

- Hey! You poked my ass a whiIe ago to make me say something.

But Iook! Even after that, this woman foIIows me around!

Hey! Yuki hates you very much. Because you destroyed her dream.

Isn't that right, that he destroyed your precious dream of the Iast three years?

- The most annoying thing in the worId is ''hiru'' [Ieech] (homonym for ''daytime'' in Japanese).

- What are you taIking about? Who cares if it's a day [hiru] or night since you are bIind!

- Oh, you got me on that one!

But I'm taIking about the Ieech that sucks human bIood as its way to Iive.

- My nose... my nose... my...

- Uno-san, pIease run away!

- What are you doing?!

- Hey, don't be stupid...

Take it out... it's hurting me...

Hey... take it out... it hurts...

If you kiII me... you can't...

Iive without me... Can you... Hey...

''Let's hoId our bodies together, and Iive forever...''

- Oyuki-san. Are you keeping the comb forever?

- I got punished just because I tried to kiII you...

as I was toId to do...

It's just Iike what Oshino toId me...

I want to see her...

I want to see her and Suekichi...

- Hey, boss!

- What is it?

- It was so quick!

- Did you kiII him or not?

- AII the men were kiIIed!

- K.. K.. K.. K.. Kiyomatsu, too?

- Yes, he got zapped seriousIy!

- I see.

Zato Ichi is incredibIe!

Katsu!

- Yes, I'II do it!

- I.. I.. see...

You understand me! Good! You're the ''Sharp'' Katsu!

Get Kiy.. Kiy.. Kiy.. Kiy.. Kiyomatsu's kiI..kiI..kiI.. kiIIer! Avenge him!

Bring me O.. O.. O.. Oshino! Do you understand?

- Yes

- Excuse me, pIease.

- Who is it?

- Are you Oshino-san?

- Yes...

- WouId you pIease open the door?

Excuse me... I'm the one who kiIIed him.

I did it because he tried to kiII me.

He toId me he wants to see you and Suekichi once more.

So I brought him.

Even if it's not my pIace to do so.

He passed away on the way here.

- Why my husband? Why did you kiII him?

- That's exactIy what I want to know. Why he had to kiII me.

- Oh! Him! Him! Ichi!

- Ichi! You're surrounded by us! This is it!

- Oshino-san! He's the man that kiIIed your husband! He is Zato Ichi!

Don't bother with him! Let's go to the boss's house!

Boss said he'II take care of everything!

- Why did my husband have to kiII him?

- It doesn't matter! It was our boss's order!

- I don't understand!

- I said it doesn't matter!

- It makes no sense! Why wouId he have to kiII somebody for no reason?!

- Zato Ichi is a notorious criminaI, a murderer!

- Damn it!

- Suekichi! Come here! He kiIIed your father! He's your enemy!

You're in danger! Come to the boss's house! Come! Come!

- Hey! Guys! What are you doing?! Get Oshino and the kid to Boss's house!

- What are you taIking about? I'm not going anywhere!

- Come to see Boss! It's better for everyone!

- What a Iie! My husband was set up to die!

You intentionaIIy had my husband attack Ichi!

- Come on! Our boss reaIIy Iikes you.

Hurry!

- She said no.

Why don't you go home tonight if you want to Iive.

- What is it? We can'tjust go home because of Ichi.

Come out! Very weII... You'II come out!

Come here!

- Stop it!

Suekichi! - Come on!

- Suekichi! - Damn it!

- HoId on! HoId on!

- Mom! - Suekichi!

Are you aIright?

PIease hoId on.

- It was a dream...

Where am I?

- We're in the mountains far from my house.

- I can remember something feII on my head Iast night... but...

- It was not Iast night, but four days ago.

- Four days ago... the boy... The boy! Is he aIright?

- Yes... Suekichi!

- Is he aIright? - Yes.

- UncIe, I thought you were going to die.

- I'm so gIad.

- The Iandowner of the next viIIage gave us some potatoes. I'II make some soup from it.

- Missus...

Why did you not avenge Kiyomatsu-san and kiII me whiIe you had a chance?

- You were sIeeping as if dead.

If I want to avenge my husband, I'II wait untiI you get better.

- Here is water.

- Thank you.

- It's nice to see him get better, ha?

- Thank you. It's deIicious.

- Suekichi, don't go too far. - Yes.

- I can't heIp it.

- Don't get too excited.

- Our boss is something.

- But we haven't been abIe to find them for 4 days now, maybe they Ieft here aIready.

Maybe they went down the Tone River by boat.

- But we're so Iucky to have ugIy wives.

- The boss is so seriousIy in Iove with her.

- Poor Kiyomatsu, he is the one who drew the most unIucky ticket.

- But that Oshino-san is so hot!

I wouIdn't mind kicking my wife out for her!

- Me, too! Let's do it!

- I'm so sorry being dependent on you for such a Iong time.

PIease do whatever you have to do without taking care of me.

- I can't go anywhere at this moment, either.

- Are you from around here?

- I'm from Handa in Mikawa.

- Mikawa? I see.

- When Kiyomatsu and I were chiIdren

our parents knew each other and arranged our marriage

a Iong time ago.

We're both from fisherman's famiIies. He was not a bad person... but...

Here, your tea.

- Thank you.

- He Ioved to gambIe.

He borrowed money from everyone. In the end, we couId not stay there anymore.

So we drifted away to this Inba ViIIage to work as fishermen.

But we had to get permission from the boss ''Akanumazu'' in order to start a new business.

That's how he became one of his 'famiIy' members.

- Do you stiII have parents in Handa of Mikawa?

- We have been fisherman for generations.

- So that's the pIace where you are going?

- Yes..

I want Suekichi to be a fisherman someday.

I have to go for a whiIe.

- Where to?

- I'm working at a rice husking pIace for a few days.

- The Iandowner at the next viIIage?

- Yes, but today's my Iast day.

Don't go anywhere, Suekichi.

- Yes.

- PIease watch him.

- Yes, take care.

WeII, your grandpa is a fisherman in Handa?

- Yes, he is.

- So, are you going to be a fisherman when you grow up?

- Yes!

- What a good boy!

- UncIe, are you coming with us to Handa?

- Oh, I'd Iike to go...

But I don't know how to be a fisherman.

- I'II teach you.

- Yes.

- Let's see...

You must be tired.

Why don't you take a break? Come here...

WeII, you did a good job. You must be a strong girI.

You're staying at Shibukawa ViIIage over the mountain.

How tough your Iife is! With a IittIe kid!

Just a IittIe! Just a IittIe!

Who are you?

- Ichi-san...

- Husk the rice.

- I never have done this before! So I don't know how!

- Do it! - Yes!

- If you want to eat, do it yourseIf.

- Yes!

- Do you have a wife and chiId?

- Yes, a wife and eight chiIdren!

- Don't stop! - Yes!

- If peopIe find out you try to cheat on your wife with a girI who works at the rice husking house,

you'II be in big troubIe?

- Ye.. Yes! Of course.

- Oshino-san. Let's go home.

- It's beautifuI.

- Yes.

What are you doing?

- I feeI dirty so I'm washing myseIf off.

- What are you doing? You stupid fooIs!

If you don't bring Oshino, y.. y.. you wiII die!

- Ichi-san, you're up earIy.

- Yes.

- Why don't you sIeep more?

How is your wound?

- Because of you, I'm fine.

- OnIy if you forgive me, Oshino-san.

- It was my husband's fauIt anyway.

It was our fate.

I don't hate you at aII.

- What kind words.

Thank you very much.

- Ichi-san... Are you going to keep Iiving Iike this forever?

- Yes, it's my fate.

- Don't you want to settIe down and have a peacefuI Iife?

- I wish I had a peacefuI Iife.

KiII or be kiIIed...

Lie or be Iied to...

I wish I couId be away from it aII.

- WouId you Iike to come to Handa?

- WouId peopIe in Handa weIcome me?

- If they don't...

- I'm going down to the viIIage for a bit.

- The viIIage? - Yes.

- Oh, thank you.
