And that Masamune Date bother, too.

Mother you look great

You eat more

Brother's been neglecting that,

Feel ill again

Look pale

No

Are you OK?

Anyway, son,

I'm alright

Heaven will punish me if I complain.

But...

I feel mighty sad for my girls.

They went and married those warlords,

just cause you said to.

I feel real sorry for them.

Remember,

you served the Emperor, right?

So behave now.

What are you saying?

I was just the wife of a poor peasant.

Mother.

You served the Emperor.

Forget it

It happens that way...

I am sure

I never deserved that honor.

Just make people believe it.

Why?

You look nice in those clothes,

don't you think?

Is that right?

Onene, Let me rest here.

Politics can be tiring, can't they.

They make me hungry.

Let me eat here.

What would you like?

Anything. Soup and some dried fish will be enough.

Only that again?

I always eat too much of everything else.

I'm so very tired.

It was embarrassing.

Mother cried again.

She still wants those daughters I married off.

I'm afraid she's getting senile.

Mustn't speak ill of your mother.

Whatever you may think,

times have changed.

She can't go see those married girls so easily.

You're resigned to change because you succeeded all by yourself.

But your mother is different.

Are you blaming me?

No. Not at all.

Your mother has no greed

She remains a humble woman.

That just enchants people.

Then...

are you saying I'm a picture of world greed?

You are her son. You're the picture of humbleness.

Some woman!

You never stop talking back.

And when I'm so tired.

The lord will soon be here.

It pleases me...

that you're pregnant, Lady Ochacha.

We're eagerly waiting for the birth of the lord's son and heir.

Is the lord's wife well?

Yes. And she's studying the tea-ceremony.

Rikyu's wife Riki meets with her at times.

To instruct her?

She may be Rikyu's wife,

but a woman instructor would be too much.

My uncle is teaching me the tea-ceremony.

Nothing wrong with women studying it.

But the art was developed for samurai.

But now even merchants are practicing it.

I hate such a lowering of standards.

My uncle much admires Rikyu's tea ceremony.

He abuses the lord's favor.

And he's collaborating with a most suspicious potter.

One who sells junk at incredibly high prices.

The lord ordered Rikyu to hold a tea party

to persuade Date to be more obedient.

We're facing the risk that

more power may fall in the hands of Rikyu.

I'd like to see Rikyu when he's making tea.

The lord is arrived.

How are you?

Fine?

Yes, thank you, my lord.

Your stomach's XXX?

The baby often kicks.

The baby kicks?

Now!

It kicked just now!
