I'll make sure he gets it.

We're sorry to bother you
with such an errand.

Please don't worry about it.

We both served the Master Oil Merchant
before he allowed us to be independent.

I'm glad I can be of help.

Please keep it a secret
from his older brother Tahei.

How hard this must be for you.

He's my stepson.

I owe a debt of gratitude
to my late master.

I can't throw him into the river.

Yohei is a smart person.

He'll be fine soon.
He'll come to his senses.

This is for my brother.

What is it?

I don't know,
but he's always treasured it.

Please tell my brother that
I, Kachi, will always be on his side.

Please tell him.

I broke a charcoal grill
I broke a grinding bowl

Oops, I got scolded

It's so funny I can't stand it

Hey, ding dong
Yeah, ding-a-ling

Here a watermelon
Here an oriental melon

Tasty, a grilled eggplant

I wanna eat it, eat it now

Excuse me.
Can I have the usual oil?

Sure.

Get off, okay?

Listen, I have to talk to Yohei.
It's important.

- Go outside and play.
- Okay.

- What do you want to play?
- Yeah.

Here.

Thanks for your business.

This is from the sales
during your absence.

Here.

That greedy old bastard.
Finally gave in, huh?

Yohei.

You mean to take this money?

Then you'll have to give up
the gangster's way of life.

You'll go home, work hard at your trade
and be good to your parents.

Sure, sure.

You said you needed this
to break up with a vicious woman.

- Is she even real?
- Give me a break.

What about the girl you're dating now?
Who is she?

Don't make wild accusations.
I'm not dating anyone.

Women are frightening.

I've learned my lesson.

I mean it.
I've had more than enough.

Listen.

Since you were this tall,
I babysat you.

All I had to do was look
at your face.

I could tell for sure
if your diapers were wet.

What about now?

Do I look like that?

Look at you.

Consider it a loan on credit.

Honor the deed.
Go home.

Make a lot of money.

Much obliged.
Thank you.

This is from your sister Kachi.

She's going to a lot of trouble
to help you save face.

"I'm always on my brother's side,"
she said.

What are you doing?

My hair's coming undone.

Ouch.

What a fright.

When did you get so strong?

What's this?

Senju at Ogi Inn.

Koyoshi at Sumiyoshi Inn.

Ukifune at Tori Inn.

Akashi, Chikuzen...

All these letters from geisha,
pledging their love.

Don't be scandalized.

That's why I didn't want you to see it.

TO THE HEAVENLY GUARDIANS
AND GREAT GODS, I SWEAR...

One more.

Sure.

Dinner is ready.

Want some hot sake?

Here, Shohei.

What are you looking for?

Those things over there
belong to Yohei.

I heard that he called it
his "sincerity box."

"Sincerity box"?

Letters from courtesans
and prostitutes.

Love pledges written in blood.

Locks of women's hair
as proof of their sincerity.

Nails torn from their pinkies.

Yohei says he wants us
to throw them out.

I took him in
because we're in the same trade.

Yohei is a full-grown man now, though.

What?

Think about our reputation.
Have him go back to Kawachi-Ya soon.

Don't let them start wild rumors.

Please.
I used to change Yohei's diapers.

A baby is a grown-up after 20 years.

Snap out of it, idiot.

Tenjin Bridge is a long bridge

GUILTY OF UNFAITHFUL ADULTERY...

CONDEMNED TO THREE DAYS
OF PUBLIC DISPLAY...

THE DEATH PENALTY
SHALL BE EXERCISED...

Tenjin Bridge is a long bridge

Won't it be scary if it falls down?

A gold coin for a scream.

I'll take that bet.

Speak. Say something.
Come on.

Come on. Come on.

- Say something, kid.
- You losers.

It's stupid, already.

Let's go.

Don't give up so easy.
You'll reveal your background.

Fine then, go, go.

Come on.
Say something.

Stick it to them!

Come on.
I'll beat you up.

Say something!
Come on!

PLUM BLOSSOM

You can't go in.

I'm sorry.

There was a sudden tragedy
in her family.

I have to bring her home right away.

Excuse me.

That room, right?

Yes, we're in the wrong.

Awfully wrong.

Do whatever you want.

I'm tired of this.

Come on, let's go.

Now, come on.

Idiots.
This isn't a show.

Close that door.

Would you call a palanquin?
We'll go to Hachiman Suji.

I'm sorry,
but we'll wait for it over there.

I was surprised to see you here.

Are you going to tell
my mom and dad?

Well...

If you are,
I don't want to go home.

What are you saying?
You sound like a baby.

Look, please, keep it a secret.

Listen.

Your father owns
the Ogura-Ya general oil store.

He allowed my family
to start our own shop.

What if the Master Oil Merchant
found out about tonight?

My family would be expelled
from the Oil Merchant Guild.

I know, and I'm still asking.

I beg you,
please don't tell them.

Now, miss,
tell me about you and Yohei.

How long have you been together?

I don't like Yohei.
He's like a little baby.

He is?

I once asked him
to break up with me.

"I'll kill you if you leave me,"
he said.

He summons geisha to inns.
He goes to view the cherry blossoms.

Let's not forget his gambling losses.

Whenever he has to settle up,
I end up paying.

Miss, is that true?

Why would I lie to you?

So Yohei did say,
"I'll kill you if you leave me."

He's a womanizer.

Very well.

What happened tonight
stays between you and me.

Really?

I'm relieved.

But you mustn't see Yohei again.

Will you promise?

Sure.

If I break the promise,
I'll swallow a 1,000 needles.

This is no laughing matter.

What if people found out?

Kawachi-Ya would lose its license.

Yes, I'm very much aware of it.

Do you really understand?

So sorry.

Miss Kogiku said
she didn't like you.

Oh, yeah?
What a thing to say.

She said you're a womanizer.

She ridiculed you.

Doesn't that upset you?

Why don't you get angry?
Get angrier.

Sure.

I won't tell her father at Ogura-Ya
just this once.

You must make a fresh start.
All right?

Sure.

All right?

Sure.

Thanks.

Never again.

Work hard at your family trade.

Be good to your parents.

You're not a child anymore.

Sure.

But, look.

Please don't beat me again.

It hurts.

Oil. Oil.

Lamp oil.

Rapeseed oil.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

I'll give you a discount.

Lamp oil.

Oil. Oil.

Lamp oil.

Anybody need oil?
I'll give you a discount.

Oil. Oil.

Lamp oil.
Don't you need some oil?

How are we doing?
Making money?

Not good at all.

Brother, do we have to go
to other places to sell more?

What a boring business
selling oil is.

Did you sleep with Kogiku?

I said, are you with Kogiku?

- What're you saying?
- I'm not blind!

Damn it.

Bastard.

Bastards.

All those bastards!

Bamboo poles.

Kichi, it's terrible.

Please don't shout.
What happened?

It's Yohei.

He seduced the daughter
of the Ogura-Ya family.

What?

The police raided a lovers' inn
in Sakamachi last night.

He was sleeping with the young lady.
He was arrested.

And?

The master of Ogura-Ya
used his influence

and got them released
without charges.

Kawachi-Ya is in trouble, though.

I must visit Kawachi-Ya
to express my sympathy.

No.

Don't go.

Tokubei is at Ogura-Ya now.

His scoundrel of a son
is getting interrogated.

Idiot!

You're only an oil seller's son.
What were you thinking?

Ogura-Ya has been, for decades,
Master of the Oil Merchant Guild.

Your father used to serve us
as an apprentice.

You forgot how much
your family owes us.

How dare you trick
my precious daughter?

What kind of education
did his parents give him?

You can't even manage your own kid?

You'll have to leave
the Oil Merchant Guild.

I'm not bluffing.

You better resign yourself to it, think
about your honor and then come back.

Let me ask you a question.

What about Kogiku?

What does your daughter
say about me?

What are you saying?

Idiot!

This isn't getting anywhere.

We hear you were
threatening the young lady.

"I'll kill you if you leave me."

Who said that?

The young lady,
his daughter, who else?

KAWA - OIL SHOP

Just this once.

You won't get a second chance.

What if he took this away?

You'd be sleeping under
the temple eaves as early as tonight.

If you're caught with the lady again,
we'll kill you.

KAWA

With his daughter?

What shame you've brought upon us.

Idiot.

Stupid brat.

Idiot.

It wasn't our stepfather Tokubei
who just beat you.

It's our father in the next world
who punished you.

- I won't break up with Kogiku.
- What?

We're in love.

Who cares about the Oil Merchant Guild?
We're ready to die for love.

Idiot, enough is enough.

Wait, Tahei, please forgive him.

- Do as you wish.
- How dare you!

- What're you doing?
- Yohei!

Get in.

Sit down.

He's like a buck in rut.

We gotta lock him up
for a few days.

When my master died,
Yohei was only four years old.

I was taking orders back then.
"Go there." "Do this."

Yohei remembers me
as a clerk and errand boy.

No matter what I say,
my words don't get through to him.

Don't say that.

We're more grateful to you, Dad,
than to our blood father.

Disown him.

Please disown that scoundrel
and banish him.

I don't care where he goes.
Let him die in the wild.

Excuse me.

I hope I don't sound presumptuous.

But let me talk to Yohei.

Yohei.

- Yohei.
- Ouch.

All those guys ganged up on me.

Please don't pick on me.

Listen carefully.

Did you mean it?

Mean what?

Don't play dumb.

About the daughter of Ogura-Ya.

Are you two seriously in love?

Of course we're serious.

That's a lie.

Tell me, why do you
have to be so defiant?

Both your father and mother
were crying for you.

That's precisely what makes me sick.

They reproach me as a womanizer.

What about them?

The Kawachi-Ya oil store.
My widowed mother.

A mere clerk stole them both,
didn't he?

He raised you, didn't he?

How dare you talk like that.

- As if he were a worm.
- He is a worm.

How dare that worm tell me,
"Break up with her," "Leave her alone."

For the good of Kawachi-Ya?
For the business?

Don't take me for a fool.

Who cares about the Oil Guild?

They can't tell me what to do.

They can't force me to leave Kogiku.

I'll die with her.

I'll kill Kogiku and then myself.

A forced lovers' suicide.
It's very fashionable these days.

Very well.

Commit lovers' suicide
or what you will.

Do it.
Show me if you can.

Farewell to the world.
'Tis our last night.

We'll vanish like
the frost on the field.

Let me make it clear, Yohei.

I promise you.

I'll never let you two come together.

Oh, yeah?

That'll be fun.

A lovers' suicide.

A double suicide.

GENERAL OIL STORE
ICHIBEI OGURA-YA

Is Kogiku doing all right?

She's been staying in her room.
She says she's getting depressed.

Why don't you take her
to a play or something?

Don't be foolish.

She's a cat in heat.

We need a weight to keep her put.

How vulgar.

You're talking about
your precious only daughter.

Running away?

We'll even welcome rumors.
Tell us any news.

If this comes to light,
Ogura-Ya will lose its honor.

What about Kawachi-Ya and Yohei?
What will happen to them?

Let's see.

They'll have no choice
but to hang themselves.

Don't hide them. Don't let them run.
Don't protect them, all right?

Damn them.

They tried to frighten us.

Kichi.

A lovers' suicide.

His knife.

He's got a knife with him.
Yohei does.

He keeps it in his clothes.

You don't have to scare me, too.

I wonder if the young lady is okay.

I can't go home anymore.

I don't care what happens.

What's that?

I heard you said
I was a womanizer.

You.

Don't take a man for a fool.

Will you die alone?

You want me to die with you?

Lovers' suicide
is fashionable these days.

What about it?

Poetic, don't you think?

What do you think?

Please kill me.

Go ahead.
Why don't you?

You know what's popular among
the cheap whores in Sonezaki?

Their men suggest a lovers' suicide.

The whores then tell the men, "First,
cut a cross in the soles of your feet."

Otherwise, the men
would kill the girls first.

Then the men might run away, alive.
What a mess.

So?

You wanna make sure?

Why don't you try?

Come on, Kogiku.

Calm down.

It's me, you see?

Kogiku.

Come on, calm down.

Kogiku.
Come on, Kogiku.

Kogiku.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Forgive me.

Don't be mean to me anymore.

Here.
Thank you.

Are you the madam here?

Yes.

Here.

What?

Excuse me.

That's how it is, then.

You're spineless.

Spineless.

That's the bell at Chikurin Temple,
isn't it?

I'm glad you let me know
you were here.

There was nothing wrong in doing so.

Leave everything to me.

Right now the master at Ogura-Ya
only wants his daughter back.

He won't make it difficult.

He's found a quiet family
for her to marry into.

Listen.

Don't you have something dangerous?

How glad I am
you didn't do anything rough.

Wanna hear what's really on my mind?

You wanna know?

I love her.

I love her enough to kill her.

I'm ready to kill her.

You're lying.

Sure, sure.

- You think?
- Don't make fun of me.

You're only a brat.

I'm not a kid anymore.

I'm a woman, too.

Keep your guard up.

- Take everything with a grain of salt.
- You're an exception, Aunty.

How come?

Why? Because...

Why?

Why?

Why am I an exception?

Listen, my dear boy.

You were once a baby.

You used to play with my breasts.

What a difficult man you are.

You know they say,
"Women are the devils."

Soon my husband will come to pick me up.
It's all arranged.

It'd be trouble if
I was having an affair with you.

Please take care
of my dear boy upstairs.

Don't I have to say hello?

Leave him alone.
He's being a shy, sulking kid.

He says he can go home by himself.

He caused so much
unnecessary trouble.

Good night.

Chest of drawes.
Storage boxes.

Wardrobes. Braziers.
Other miscellaneous furniture.

They are coated with black lacquer
and have the family crest in gold.

All the drawers are covered
with a cloud-patterned paper.

This is to ward off fire.

A set of kitchen utensils.
A set of tableware with gold lacquerwork.

All of them carry the family crest.

A portable chest of drawers.

Now, what's inside?

Tortoiseshell combs and hairpins.

Sprinkled with gold powder.
Adorned with coral balls.

Tortoiseshell comb teeth.

Gold and silver handiwork.

Silver-copper cranes and turtles
and cherry blossoms adorn the hairpins.

How many clothes
have we put together?

Let's say she wore a different set
every day for 10, 20 years.

She'd be left with many
she hadn't even worn.

There are about 100 pairs
of these tabi socks.

We have created a mold
in the shape of a lady.

We measured the height of her feet.
They are all custom-made.

Excuse me.

So I'm counting on you
to be a good bridesmaid.

Yes.

I gladly accept this important duty.

Anyway, what wonderful preparations.

"A girl is her parent's responsibility
until she's married."

I never imagined
how much trouble she'd cause us.

Excuse me.

I just ran into some men.

Aren't they the low friends
of the son of Kawachi-Ya?

They came to propose
the "water splash" celebration.

"Water splash"?

Was it their idea?

I think it'll be a perfect way
to enliven the wedding.

Guess who brought it up.

That idiot son of Kawachi-Ya.

What?

Yohei?

Young people in love are just like
children playing house.

I've already paid them
for the arrangement.

I think it'll be a good way
to end their affair.

Yes.

That may well be.

That'll be good.

I'm back.

Oh

Today is

A good day

Oh

The weather is fine

Fortune brings

Together

Oh

Man and wife

Oh

Precious as a butterfly

Beautiful as a flower

Oh

The daughter they raised

On this day

Handed over

Oh

To a strange man

Do it, do it, do it.

Go, go, go.

Splash the water.

- Good, good.
- Here we go.

Pour some water.

Here we go.

Japan and its mountains
Seeds of oil

Ready? Let's go.

Here we go. Here we go.

Press out the oil

Here I go.

At night, after work

Let's have some sake

Here I go.

Here we go
Take the mallet

Press the seeds

Let's get a lot of oil

A lot of rapeseed oil

Watch it.

What're you doing?
We're wasting meals on you.

Why don't you work hard?

Hey, you got a visitor.

I'm busy.

I'm an underling now, always rushed,
always more to learn.

I'm risking my life to be here.

Why don't you drown yourself?

As you can see,
this river isn't covered.

You can jump in anywhere.

I have to close my eyes.

I have to remember your face.

That's how I endure being
in another man's arms.

Are you all right with that?
Are you?

That's how I am.
Can you still say you love me?

Little Buddha,
at the center of our circle

Why are you so short?

Here you go.

You ate shrimp on the anniversary
of your parent's death

That's why you're short

Stand up, sit down

Guess who's behind you

You didn't guess right
You're it, again

Little Buddha,
at the center of our circle

Why are you so short?

Welcome home.

Isn't it a fine day?

Thanks for coming.
Is there anything I can do for you?

You've become such
a respectable young wife.

Listen, though.

Having fun during the daytime?
Quite bold, aren't you?

Kichi, you'd better not
say anything stupid.

Listen.

You go to the harbor inn, Funacho.
We sell lamp oil to them.

The madam is on friendly terms
with us, too.

And you go there.

You're having fun with Yagoro
and Zenbei during the day.

I know everything.

How did it go with Yohei today?

How old are you this year?

What a horse's ass.

A horse's ass.

Why do you have to curse me
and punish me?

Is that why you came all this way?

What did you come to tell me?

Do you even understand?

I'm a highly respected
young wife at Sakai-Ya.

I've got no reason to take orders
from someone like you.

Am I wrong?

Well, it was wrong of me.

It's about time
for your music lesson.

I've already met your husband.

Please give him my regards.

Next time I'll listen
to you practice.

You have plates on your heads

How many plates?
Six plates

Seven plates, eight plates

Nine plates, ten plates

Burn moxa atop your head plates

It's hot, it's sad
Metal Buddha statues

A monk with no hair

Matsu's it!

Kichi?

Yes?

Aren't you going to visit
your sick uncle in Juso?

Yes, first I must change my clothes.

If you leave now,
it'll be dark before you come back.

I'm fine if you spend the night
at his place.

Sure.

Come on, here you go.

Demanding, aren't you?

Here.

Give them to me.

Do come in.
I'm sorry I'm not Kogiku.

Come on.

Why do you look so dejected?

Why don't you come closer?

I won't bite off your head.

I've got to talk to you tonight.

I'm already a little drunk.

It'll be hard for me to talk
if you stay sober.

Come on, have a drink.

I'll have some,
but spare me your lectures.

Are you guilty of something
that deserves one?

See, a lecture again.

I'm not saying anything
particularly strict.

Come on, have a drink.

What happened to your foot?

Listen.

Didn't you swear to reform
your delinquent heart and soul?

Isn't that why you had them hire you
as an oil press man?

I'm working hard.
Look at my hands.

How?

How could you come here so brazenly,
with a slack-jawed smile?

The letter said Yagoro and
Zenbei were here, too.

I missed them.

More than anything,
you wanted to see Kogiku.

You wrote this letter,
under Kogiku's name, didn't you?

Who cares?

Listen.

Kogiku is making an ass of you.

You have no idea, do you?

Listen well.

Yagoro, Zenbei.

They're both sleeping with Kogiku
in the same bed.

Even after Kogiku's marriage.

What a bad joke.

Ask the madam at Funacho.

That's stupid.

You're stupid.

Stupid ass.

Stupid fool.

- Easy now.
- Wake up!

Why do you lie to me?

Come on, be smart.

You haven't gotten over her,
have you?

Isn't that why you came out here?

Listen to me.

I'm not saying this out of jealousy.

But that girl,

as long as it's a man,
she doesn't care who it is.

She's a cheap whore
who doesn't choose her men.

How can you let her
make an ass of you?

Answer me.
Fool. Stupid. Idiot.

What's wrong with me, Yohei,
when I'm with you?

Why can't I give you
anything but lectures?

I'm pathetic.

Yohei.

Please.

I beg you, for heaven's sake.

Please.

I beg you.

Make love to me.

Aunty.

Are you okay, Aunty?

Don't call me "Aunty."

Then what?

You're a man, aren't you?

You can call me by my name.

Kichi.

Mrs. Kichi.

Fool.

You know what?

For years, I used to think
you were a baby.

But on the night of the wedding...

you had a knife.

Then I realized.

You had become a man.

That Kogiku is just a cheap whore.

I don't want her to do
as she pleases with you.

Hold me.

Make love to me.

Are you sure?

Turn off the light,
I'm embarrassed.

Forgive me.

I've brought you to this.

My dear boy and myself,
an older woman.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry.

I don't care about age.

I've never felt like this.

I'm happy.

Be careful with fire.

Be careful with fire.

When can I see you again?
Tomorrow?

- Please don't be difficult.
- The day after tomorrow?

I'll send a message, okay?

Welcome home.

Well.

Were you awake?

How is your uncle?

Thanks for asking.

He got better in the evening.

I didn't want to inconvenience them
by spending the night.

I made sure he was fine
and came back.

By yourself?

No.

One of his men was with me.

Until right over there.

He accompanied me to the entrance.

Go to sleep now.

Sure.

Pour sweet tea on
the Amitabha Buddha

Oil floats to the top
on the Amitabha Buddha

Oh, so sweet, so sweet

A whore from Kyoto
with the spirit of Yoshiwara

Decked out in a dress from Nagasaki

Had fun with me at
a brothel in Osaka

Such was my dream

Oh, so sweet, so sweet

I pray to Buddha

I pray to the sweet Buddha

Oh, so sweet, so sweet

For your children,
take this candy

Give them a little
and they'll smile

How magical is this prayer candy

Dear boy, what's wrong?

Kichi.

Go over there.
We can talk without worrying.

Kichi.

Be good and wait here.

Come on.

Here we go
Pray to the Amitabha Buddha

Pray to the Amitabha Buddha
for sweet candy

Come on.

- You're a difficult man, aren't you?
- Why? Why do you avoid me?

- Listen...
- Why do you ignore me?

Don't talk so loud.

People might notice.

It's the Buddha's birthday today.
All the families are here at the temple.

So what about people?
I'll tell them everything.

I have a husband.

I have two children.

I have to watch the shop
and keep the books.

I have to do the cooking,
the sewing and the laundry.

I can't be carefree like you.

Let's go away somewhere.
Live with me.

Let's elope.

Did you have a dream?

I had a dream.

I couldn't sleep all night,
thinking.

- I'm not just saying this on a whim.
- I have children.

We'll take your kids with us.
They like me.

Elope with the kids?

I'm serious.

Listen.

Wait ten years.

I'll be an old hag.

You'll abandon me.

You led me on and now
you leave me like a piece of dirt.

I'm telling you the truth.

Then I'll tell your husband.

Leave him and come away with me.

What are you saying?

- Have you gone insane?
- Yes, I'm out of my mind.

Listen.

Let's talk it over.

Let's go somewhere quiet, okay?

Will you run off with me?

Please, enough is enough.

Why be so difficult?

Ten years from now?

This will be like moss under a rock.

Everything will be gone,
absorbed into the soil.

It's now.

Now.

Now.

Yohei.

Let's run off together.

You mean it?

I won't take my kids.

I'll come alone.

The date?

The tenth of this month.

At eight in the morning.

Near the Uneme Bridge.

It's now.

Now, right?

Go, the show is over.

Scatter.

Kichi says she's not going
to the Uneme Bridge tomorrow.

You seduced another man's wife.
Where do you plan to run off to?

My wife has taken care
of this boy since he was a kid.

She became attached to him
against her better judgment.

She was very nearly raped.

Don't talk nonsense.
That's not even true.

That's what happened.

"I'm afraid of my dear boy," she says.
"He'll kill me."

That's wrong.
You're totally wrong.

You stalked her while I was out.

"He threatens me to make me
do as he says. I'm terrified."

It's the other way around.

The other way around?
What is?

You'll say,
"An older woman toyed with me."

That's the rumor
you've been spreading.

Kichi is crying tears of blood.

Dear boy, please listen closely.

Kichi is trying to be discreet.

I wanted to report you to the police.

She didn't want to bring misfortune
upon your future.

- She cried and stopped me.
- Wait a moment.

I'm the one who's being bullied here.

She's evil.
She's a monster.

She's not toying with you.

She blames herself for allowing you
to take advantage of her.

- Kichi is filled with regret.
- All lies, nothing but lies.

Dear boy.

I beg you.

Please give up on her.

Dear boy, I beg you.

I beseech you.
I implore you.

I married Kichi
because I love her.

I married for love.

What if something
were to happen to her?

As a man, I'd have to suffer more.

I'm suffering now.

What if Kichi went away?

I wouldn't...

It would be the end of me.

Dear boy, please help me.

Dear boy, please give up on her.

I ask you on her behalf.

I beg you.

Please.

Dear boy.

Please.

Dear boy.

Dear boy.

Dear boy.

What is it?

Do you mean to drown yourself
and haunt the woman as a ghost?

The old man left this.

Boss.

Please write me a letter of recommendation
for a position somewhere else.

Somewhere as far away as possible.

I wanna leave Osaka.

Women are demons.

Tenjin Bridge is a long bridge

Won't it be scary if it falls down?

Tenjin Bridge is a long bridge

Won't it be scary if it falls down?

Tenjin Bridge is a long bridge

Won't it be scary if it falls down?

Dad gave me some travel money.

Yohei.

Here's a charm of Akasagarbha,
your patron Buddha.

I remember this.

When you were five,
you fell into a river.

Thanks to this charm,
you were saved.

You must treasure it, okay?

I don't know when I took it off.

I'd forgotten about it.

We're all counting on you.

Visit us at least once a year.

Brother, why are you going to Edo?

- What's the real reason?
- Never mind.

It's a journey to train myself
as an oil press man.

Mom.

I promise to come back
before you forget my face.

- Kachi.
- Yes?

Would you go to Toshima-Ya
and borrow 60 ounces of lamp oil?

I'll go.

I've got something to return
to Shichizaemon.

I'm going to Ikeda Town in Tenma.

They made a firm promise
to pay us tonight.

Come home soon.

You must be cautious.
Use the pole to bar the door.

I'll be back soon.

Sure.

Did you forget something?

It's still open.

Good evening,
I'm from Kawachi-Ya.

You surprised me.

Please come in.

I came on my father's behalf.

Can you loan us 60 ounces of lamp oil?

Sure.

Where's your husband?

He left for Ikeda Town
to collect bills.

Your husband left this.

Such a dangerous thing.
Where did he forget it?

Take it, I'm returning it.

Thanks.

Put the oil on our account.

Yohei.

You're angry at me, aren't you?

I don't want you to go like this.

- Why do you have to be so mean?
- How dare you say that.

"I was raped." "I was threatened."
"He spread the rumor."

Whose mouth has been spewing
self-serving, selfish lies?

It wasn't out of self-interest.

- I did it for your own good, Yohei.
- Thanks a lot.

Aunty, you're a better player
in the game of love.

Did you come over
only to curse me?

You didn't, did you?

You came over
because you wanted to see me.

Didn't you?

Listen.

We met at Funacho.

Someone ratted on us to my husband.

Don't you think it was Kogiku?

Now you're bad-mouthing Kogiku?

None of that matters now.

We're under suspicion.

I'm older.
I must use good judgement.

Otherwise we'd be unfaithful adulterers.

If I were older,
it wouldn't be adultery?

My husband must be convinced.

And my children.

Is that why you said
I was a failed rapist?

Serves me right.

- I didn't say anything so vulgar.
- It doesn't matter anymore.

I'm leaving Osaka, anyway.

Leaving Osaka?

After tonight,
I'm leaving for Edo.

I'm sick and tired of Osaka.

I know.

You're leaving because you hate me.

Aren't you?

Then tell me you're leaving me.

Go ahead.
Say it plain and simple.

Sure, I'll tell you plain and simple.

You rotten bitch.

- Filthy bitch, let me go.
- No, no.

No.

Why don't you think
about your husband?

Are you jealous?

Look.

I don't even want to think about him.

It leaves me sick and cold.

You blame your precious husband
for everything that's wrong?

I've never...

since I got married...

not even once...

Not even once can I remember
that he pleasured me.

What a coward he is.

He's spineless.

Listen.

Do you really have to go to Edo?

What about you and me?

We can meet only if you're here.

Am I not right?

How much of this
is coming from your heart?

Everything is a lie.

But you know what?

This is not a lie.

Once every ten days is enough.

I can live with once a month.

Please.

Be with me.

Make love to me.

Men dream.

And thus are they tricked.

What's next?

You'll hook up with another man
only to tease me.

And me?

Are you trying to shame me?
