KYOTO IMAI FAMILY

It's difficult, isn't it?

Dad!

This part here is wrong.

If you can get that right, it'll look

a little better. Try it.

You're right! Thank you, Dad!

Did Shinjiro answer your letter?

No...

I guess it wouldn't be strange for him to

ignore a letter written with such messy

handwriting, and throw it away.

Did you read it without asking me, Dad?

That's terrible.

What's so terrible?

What's wrong with a father worrying about his daughter?

That's true. I'm sorry.

I wasn't a good daughter.

You idiot! It's something you'll realize later on.

Listen... You're always forging straight ahead, but a woman

has the important job of be prepared to protect her family.

Protect her family?

Are you here, too, Hatsu?

You're just in time.

Listen to me... I want you both to do your best to protect your families.

Don't come home.

She'll never fix her long strides, but

every time you notice it, you have to scold her.

Even when she's in a rush?

Even if she's in a rush.

And no climbing trees!

What are talking about?

Miss Hatsu! Miss Asa!

Ume... Fuyu... Can we talk?

Mom...

I'm glad you're here, too...

I have a favor to ask.

What's wrong, Hatsu?

Will you send Ume as Asa's attendant?

Asa is dauntless, but inside she's still a child...

She should have an adult who can teach her

things in place of you and Dad.

But... what about you?

Don't worry about me.

Fuyu and I are close in age, and we get along well.

I'm sure we can help each other out.

Can't we, Fuyu?

I've always longed to be like you, Miss Hatsu.

You shouldn't say anything, Fuyu.

Mom... Please do as I ask.

As my last memory of this family, please

let me do something that's fitting as her older sister.

Miss Hatsu!

All right.

Up until now you've hardly ever asked for anything, so

if that's what you wish...

I guess it can't be helped.

Thank you, Mom.

Three days from now Asa and Hatsu would be heading for Osaka.

I don't want you to go.

Please.

I'm begging you... Don't get married.

If you get married...

I'll die early.

Don't say that...

You mustn't die.

Back then, once a woman got married, and moved

far away, unless something drastic happened, they

hardly ever came home to their families.

We won't be able to play the koto together like this anymore, will we?

I never got to be any good at this until the very end, did I?

That's not true... Lately, you've been putting a

lot of effort into it, so you've often a little better at it.

We'll be taking our koto as part of our trousseau,

so you can practice overt there.

If I practice, and get good at it, can we play together again?

I wonder...

We'll both be in Osaka, so don't you think it's possible?

You're right. I hope we can.

Sis...?

Will you run off together with me?

Don't laugh.

I secretly read the book in Mom's room, and

a young girl said she wouldn't listen to what her parents

say anymore, and they held hands, and ran off together.

Running off together is what a man and a woman does.

If you read their books without permission

again, Dad will scold you.

There are a lot of things written in the books

that I don't know about, so it's so enjoyable that I can't stop.

I see... So we can't run off together.

Then let's just hold hands.

Let's do that.

Running off together...?

Being with you is so much fun.

Me, too. I can't imagine us being apart.

Don't say that. You'll make me cry.

I'm sorry.

Let's see each other again soon.

Let's meet again.

We can, can't we?

Yes, we can.

If something bad happens, Let's help each other out.

Let's do that.

But the only thing I can do is to make you laugh.

That's the most important thing.

So you'll be okay. I'm sure you will.

Thank you for all you've done for me until now.

I want to thank you, too.

The next day...

Miss Asa!

Miss Asa!

Hurry and get up.

Shinjiro from Kano-ya is here.

You don't look well.

Why don't you rest for a little bit?

Thank you for your concern, but...

I'm okay.

But why did you have to rush over here right before the wedding?

About that...

Asa!

Excuse me.

Asa-chan...

I'm terribly sorry!

About the marriage...

Will you let us put it off at this time?

What do you mean by putting it off?

What's going on?

My eldest son, Shotaro passed away...

He had pulmonary tuberculosis.

Right after the new year started, he suddenly became ill...

And ten days ago, he passed away.

You have my condolence.

I had no idea. I'm terribly sorry.

It was totally unexpected.

That's why...

We'd like to postpone the wedding.

That's why we came here today.

You have every right to ask...

You took the trouble to come all the way over

here at a time like this.

Asa...

I'm sorry.
