Between the Peace Treaty of 1951,
and the Security Treaty of 1960...
independence,
my mother was growing
up in Osaka.
While the Osaka Expo
was drawing millions,
and that strange
anti-hero 'Tora-san'...
first took the screen,
she came to Tokyo
to study Pharmacy...
met my father,
and fell in love.
They married, and ran a pharmacy
in the suburbs of Tokyo.
In time, I was born.
I remember my mother
in front of the TV, delighted...
when her beloved Hanshin Tigers
won the baseball championships,
first time in 21 years.
There was also,
and the National Railways
going private.
Through those bewildering days...
I sat before the TV,
as if nailed in place.
My father, who was always frail
passed away when I was still small.
My mother's younger brother,
a far wilder Tigers' fan than she was...
who celebrated their victory
by jumping into the Dotonbori Canal,
started coming up to Tokyo
to help look after me.
and was very funny.
I loved him when I was small...
but as I grew up
and he never changed...
he became annoying.
for the problems he'd cause...
and five years ago,
at my father's 13th-year memorial,
he got drunk and disorderly.

After that we lost touch.
About Her Brother
Takano Pharmacy
I'm back!
A gift from the beauty parlor.
Isn't that nice!
Put them in some water.
We finally got an answer
to your uncle's wedding invitation.
I saw it. It's not an answer,
it was returned.
'This item was delivered to
the specified address...
'but the presence of the addressee
could not be confirmed...
'so it is being returned.'
I told you there was
I guess not.
I'll get it.
Coming!
Oh, hello.
We've brought a gift.
What? Just a minute.
Mother! Come here!
It's Dr. Endo and Mr. Maruyama.
Coming!
What brings you both?
They gave us this.
Congratulations...
on behalf of the Area Merchants.
You didn't have to!
Time goes fast.
It seems like only yesterday Koharu
said she hated dentists...
and bit my hand.
Thank you for everything.
Not at all.
Everyone's disappointed.
'Everyone'?
Us two.
It can't be helped, though.
As long as you're happy.
We shed tears over it every night.
And you shed hair.
Hands off!
Thank you.
Be happy.
For what?
A young lad to win Koharu's heart.
No.
You've got a son, don't you?
Forget it.
A high-school dropout
against a university hospital doctor?
No, huh?
Nope.
Did that new bell come in?
Can't you talk?
Knock, knock.
Grandma...
Grandma!
I hear you.
Dinner's ready.
'I hear you.'
Then why can't she answer?
Give that to her son.
You know what your dad said
when you were born?
'Let'll be a sad day
when she goes as a bride.'
He's weeping in
Father, I'm sorry.
Stop doing that.
You're not a child.
Mother, shall I help you
with your kimono tomorrow?
No, thank you.
Koharu...
That woman's brother
from Osaka...
Your crazy uncle...
Is he coming?
No. We couldn't find him.
Oh, that's good.
I can't abide that man!
That ill-bred lout!
I know that.
Well! A feast!
That smells good!
There.
We're celebrating.
This is once in a lifetime.
Well, everyone...
There's only three of us.
So what?
All three of us, then...
To Koharu's happiness.
Thank you.
And Grandma,
you get along with Mom, ok?
You said that last night.
You're going senile.
Look who's talking!
Well, let's eat.
Shohei...
