- Did you arrive early, Auntie?
- No, I just arrived
- What's your father doing?
- Working
He didn't meet
his deadline yesterday
Moths have just ruined
your uncle's striped trousers
- Could you mend them for Katsuyoshi?
- Wouldn't he look odd in such trousers?
It doesn't matter.
You could just snip the legs off
- I can probably mend them
- Have a go
- Here
- You brought them with you?
Don't spend too long on them.
They won't last long anyway
But reinforce the seat
Good to see you
I was expecting to see you
at Shimbashi Station so I waited
I missed my train
Thank you for waiting.
We will now proceed
Pass me a pencil rubber
Can't you find it?
Found it
"Friedrich List..."
"L-I-S-T"
I thought so.
Liszt with a 'z' was the musician
I'm from the electricity company.
I'm here to check your meter
Please come in
May I borrow a stool to stand on?
- Yes...
- Where is it?
In the corridor, under the stairs
- Thanks
- Not at all'
Thanks
Professor, was List really
a self-made man?
Yes, and he became
an excellent economist
He detested bureaucracy...
- It's 3 kilowatts over!
- Thanks
How many pages do we have so far?
- 12 or 13 pages
- I see
That means 6 or 7 more to go
I'm home
- Hello, Mr. Hattori
- Hello
Making copies?
Thank you.
That saves me the trouble
- How was your aunt?
- She went straight home
- Make us some tea, will you?
- Yes
- Can you stay this evening, Mr. Hattori?
- No, I have to rush off
Why? I can go to Tokyo
with you tomorrow
Tokyo? What for?
To the hospital
And I need to buy you a shirt collar
By the way, Professor...
...that last mah-jong game we had,
we did over-calculate
Did we?
- You mean 8 and 16?
- So I won after all
Say, Noriko!
Noriko!
- Is Sei at home?
- Why?
Go and ask. We'll have a game
- Have you finished?
- Well, almost
No game till then
What about our tea?
- Did you bring the manuscript?
- Yes, it's fine
Do you want to sit down?
No, I'm fine
Will you be home at the usual time?
Yes, unless there's a faculty meeting
Take care
Uncle!
- Have you just got here?
- No, yesterday morning
- You've put on weight, Nori?
- Have I?
- Where are you off to?
- Shopping
- May I join you?
- But aren't you busy?
- No, I've finished
- Really?
Oh, an art exhibition is on.
Shall we go?
- I need sewing machine needles
- Very well, let's go
Art Group Exhibition in Ueno
Sponsored by The Mainichi Newspaper
Takigawa Restaurant
You must be tired, Nori
I haven't been to Ueno for ages
But you know, things have changed
Did you see the boy aiming
at the pigeon on the statue?
Just like William Hart!
Here you go
Professor Shigeno was here yesterday
Oh? Is he still in town?
- He said he was leaving today
- I see...
By the way, this is Somiya's daughter
Really? And so grown up!
- That little girl with the fringe?
- The very same
Fancy that.
Welcome!
Do you want sake?
Nori, do you want some?
- No, I don't drink
- Do you want something else?
- Or do you want something to eat?
- I'm fine for now
- Let me pour you a drink
- All right
- Be right with you!
You know, Uncle...
I heard that...
What is it?
- ...that you got remarried
- Yes, I have
- I feel sorry for Isako
- Why?
Well...it's a bit strange, isn't it?
It doesn't seem so.
I wonder.
- I'd find it distasteful
- What, my new wife?
- No, you, Uncle
- Why?
It seems...impure
- Impure?
- It's dirty
Dirty? Now I'm really in trouble
I'm dirty, uh?
- Any better?
- Not at all
No good, eh? What am I going to do?
Here you go
- So I'm impure, am I?
- Yes, you are
I'm in serious trouble, then!
I'm home
- I'm back. And we have a guest
- Who?
I wasn't planning on coming round
but I ran into Nori in Ginza
What was it this time?
I was at the Ministry
of Education again
A present for you, Father
Oh... Where did you find these?
No wonder we couldn't find them
in the house
- Here
- Oh, the Takigawa! Did you go there?
I made her keep me company
- Would you like more sake, Uncle?
- Sounds good
- Do we have any?
- I'll have it hot
- How was your blood test?
- It went down to 15
That's good
She looks well
It was all because of forced labour
during the war, wasn't it?
And she had to run around
to get food on her day off
What an awful time.
No wonder she suffered
- We don't have anything special
- Thank you, Nori
All your family's well in Kyoto?
- Yes, but it seems I've sinned
- What do you mean?
Nori said I was impure
- Who was?
- Me
She said I'm dirty. s that right, Nori?
I don't know!
s Isako well?
She's going around saying that
marriage is life's graveyard
She's 25 but refusing to get married
Come to think of it, she might be right
Nothing I can do about it, though.
