And that I'm only your brother?

Pretty flowers

Don't you feel sort of lonely?

About what?

About Kiyoshi

I can't help it

I'm not worth my salt

However...

Let's not talk about it

But...

Forget it.

Let it remain that way

I'm sorry for you, though.

Forget it

- Have a drink

- Thank you

Forget it

That's Kiyoshi

Welcome home

Oh, hello, Uncle

I should have come home sooner

- Are you working?

- Studying with the postmaster

How you've grown up!

He's of conscription age

A first-grade conscript, no doubt

He sure has grown up

No wonder we're getting old

It's years since we last met

How long are you staying?

As long as my show draws.

A year, maybe

It can't draw that long

It will

- Is this your work?

- Yes

- What's this?

- Don't tamper with it

I'll go and see your show.

What do you play?

Forget it. It's not meant for you

Who is it for?

The audience

- I'm one of them

- I know

It's nothing sophisticated. Forget it

Why put on such plays?

Do something better

But I can't

Why not?

Today's audiences

don't understand good plays

So you shan't come to see it

Last time we went fishing together

- What fish bite now?

- Well...

- It doesn't matter. Let's go again

- It's hot

I don't mind. Let's go, shall we?

How about tomorrow? A Sunday?

- Shall we?

- Sure. Let's go

Is it a date?

He sure has grown up

- Is it warm enough?

- Yes

Very logical. He argued me down

Really? What did you argue about?

He's becoming very wise

Very brainy

Welcome!

Welcome, two good patrons

Welcome

Welcome!

- Tetsu

- Yes?

- Sadahachi

- Well. Boss?

"This is our last night in Mt Akagi

"I'm leaving my home village

of Kunisada...

"... and my territory

"I have to leave you, too,

my loyal men

"This is the last

of my Kunisada group

"To think of it...

"... the breeze sounds lonely

"A flock of geese...

"... flying to the south

"The moon is setting

behind the western hills

"Where shall I go now?

"Where my legs will carry me...

"I'll be roaming aimlessly

to the end of the world

"Boss!

"That's Brother Enzo

"Stout-hearted as he is...

"... he must feel lonesome

to leave home

"You, noted sword...

"... thoroughly tempered by

the famous Yoshikane of Kaga...

"... and cleansed in the brook

from the perpetual snow

"You, at least, my right will guard

"Though all the world betrays me,

you'll be with me, faithful one

"The geese are flying away

"The crow must lament for me"

Great performance

Look!

The barber's daughter

Which one?

Do you see an old dame

with a towel on her head?

Behind her.

Munching on a bun now

What a big mouth she has!

Which one is your find?

Is she here?

She's out there.

That one
