"Otomi-chan!" "O-TO-MI, my dear!" "Otomi-chan, listen to us, Otomi-chan." "What is it?" "I'm listening." "You hear that?" "How unfair!" "When do I hear from you?" "You're deadly to us, Otomi-chan, we're all crazy in love with you." "And although we're so in love, you keep us waiting forever." "There's a little thing that you have to learn." "The most important thing, is..." "Her futur husband must be a strong soul, not scared of fire nor death." "That would be me, the baskets seller." "All your thingies are just annoying..." "Then perhaps me, the rice-seller." "No, you're not baked enough." "Such good luck!" "I'm sorry for the others, but that's perfect for me." "That's me, the grocer's." "You're the last one I'de chose." "I've got no time for dry love." " And me, the coil seller..." " Dismissed!" " Then perhaps. the liquor seller!" " I don't like you!" "Listen, sirs, the lady needs a real man," "nothing like all those fakes." "Wash your faces, and come back later." "Only cheap, unlikable faces." "I can't stand it." "Just watch that bunch of losers." "Sorry, but see you next time." "Dear Otomiiiii !" "Me, I'm a young feudal lord," "My loyal servants, share my joy..." "Because today, once again I bought a whole bunch of expensive, rare antics." "The sky over the city is mine..." "Like all those treasures often dreamt of." "I carry so many treasures, I can't help but smiling." "Encense pot!" "Vase!" "Tea pot!" "Kakejiku!" "Spices!" "Documents and paintings!" "All genuine, rare and precious." "You see, I'm not the common collector." "Hmmmm?" "Walking through the city, one finds the shining garden of youth." "Such a fine lad, it sure is a find!" "Youth's what I dream of." "With her soft, dark hair," "It's love at first sight for me, with this beautiful young lady." "We're all impressed by your knowledge and experience." "This time, I'm positive." "Someone..." " Go buy her for me." " Yes." "Such nice weather..." "Nice weather at last." "The umbrellas will dry faster." "Yeah..." "I don't give a damn if they are dry or not, but without them, we can't buy food either..." "Daddy, your obsession with antics, that's our real problem." "You do know that, with the rain, our life gets harder, and still you keep buying all those lousy thingies." "Lousy, you say?" "When it comes to antics, I'm an expert." "Me, I..." "In fact, to prepare for your wedding, that's why I buy them, that's why." "What a silly idea!" "No-one would buy your cheap things." " Daddy..." " ..." "Hmm!" "?" "I don't think we need to prepare for my wedding." "I'de rather have us earn enough money to afford rice every day." "because... with the barley, I can never eat my full..." "Rice is much too ordinary." "Sometimes you must cook the barley al dente." "Try this, it's top-notch." "An empty stomach makes one nervous." "You're such a poet, it's disgusting." "I'm fed up, father." "Just hearing the word "barley"" "is enough to make me throw up." "To hate such refined food... pity!" "My garden is full of colourful flowers, but who knows it besides myself?" "Blue and red umbrellas" "When I touch them, they start to sing, the lovebirds, the lovebirds." "That's how life is, there's nothing to be done." "Some people make umbrellas, and some other carry them." "The next line of this song, is particularly mean." "The more I hate someone, the more deeply I love him, the more deeply I love him." "Oharu-san, you're in a great mood." " Not at all." " Eh?" " In fact, I'm furious." " But why?" "With this nice weather and those dry umbrellas, you'll earn some good money." "Are you still to pity then?" "It's because.. what I earn, my father spends it on silly goods." "Why not?" "To each his hobby." "Darnit !" "One day, he might make an amazing disovery." "I despise such a dream." "I'm fed up with making umbrellas, cause... some enjoy life to the fullest with'em..." "Such is life, they say." "Nothing can be done about it." "Some people carry umbrellas..." " That's exactly what you sung!" " Darnit!" "Asai-san, I'm not as care-free as you." "I apologize." "But still, Oharu, don't talk badly of your father." " He's a very nice man." " Whatever!" "It's his fault if I have to eat barley." " Haha." " Hey!" "You don't understand anything to a woman's feelings." "Just go away, go away now!" "If you say so..." "Hello, master." "Hi, any problems?" "I see you often these days." "I come to see my sick father." "I see... that's very nice of you." "I am moved." "Oh, but it's only natural, isn't it?" "I don't think so." "These days, the natural becomes supernatural." "Young girls these days, tend to forget the respect due to their fathers." "Hm!" "Such is life." "Some people make umbrellas while other carry them..." "That's well said." "Nice line for a song, isn't it?" "Such is life, nothing can be done..." "Some people make umbrellas and other carry them..." "When the wind of love blows elsewhere," "I can't do anything to it, even by my lover's side." "I like this one." " Sankichi!" " Yes!" "I like it a lot." "You go pay the bill." "How much is it?" "I'm not selling it." "Who told you otherwise?" "But.." "You'll have to sell it to someone, anyway, no?" "We don't sell them individualy." "She doesn't sell them separately." "No way." "Whatever she says, I want this umbrella." "So, even if it's 10 or 20 ryo, give her all she wants." "Yes!" ".." "I wouldn't sell it, even for 20 or 30 ryo!" "H-How's that?" "Wh-h-h-hat do you say, you don't intend to sell this umbrella?" "I'm sorry." "There's nothing to add." "I'm not selling it!" " I buy it!" " Impossible!" " I buy it!" " It's not to sell!" "How's that!" "Such a stubborn woman !" "You're arrogant and twisted down to your belly button." "Your mouth just as twisted, proves that you are hysterical down to your belly button." "haha... discuss the subject of belly buttons as much as you like." "The days of spring are long enough." "See you." " Mister Reizo!" " Oh!" " It's been a while..." " Fujio-dono, why do you come here?" "Well, that's because...." "Pull yourself together, it's no time to be shy!" "You're officialy engaged now, come on!" "Go ahead and hold each other, more intimately, intimately!" " Sankichi, come quick!" " Yes!" "Ouch!" "Father, why choose such a boring place for your secondary house?" "Is that so?" "..." "But you're the one coming to that boring place." "How's that?" "Daddy!" "And me.. am I supposed to come and see my sick father?" "Is that so?" "Well as for me, I believe that.." "You rather come to see the young handsome master." "Me?" "I don't care for a lowly samurai with no money." "It seems, today, that you are in a bad mood." "If needed, I can choose the great lord for husband." "Is that so?" "That can't be, madam..." "What did you say?" "The lady of the great lord...?" "I don't think that's possible." "Sankichi..." "I don't deserve to marry the great lord?" "I didn't say that... but still, why not marry a curious landlord?" " Sankichi!" " Anyone here?" "!" "Yes!" "It is I, Matsusuke Matsuda, subordinate of Minezawa, governor of Tanba." "Oh, it's you, yes it is!" "I have come to tell you... that my master saw you today and that he that he chose me, right?" "Will she become his wife?" "Not exactly." "How to explain... you will, in a sense, serve by his side..." "What a deal!" "I am the girl of Kagawa's, at Nihon-bashi!" "Minezawa governor of Tanba?" "Never heard of him." "One of those lousy landlords, I guess?" "How impolite, how rude!" "Lousy you say?" "A fake's a fake." "That's all." "Now go!" " You're being rude..." " Just go!" "Such is life, nothing can be done to it." "Some people make umbrellas and some carry them." "A civilian womand and a great lord?" "As they often say," "Without balance, marriage becomes a nightmare." "That's what means: a tower of paper and a bell make a bad couple." " Idiot!" " Ouch!" "sorry, sorry, sorry..." "To marry her or not, that's all there is to it, and I'd like to know your answer." "But you're going too fast, sir..." "F-f-f-fast?" "Nothing "fast" to it!" "A wedding with my daughter Fujio, that was the arrangement with your late father." "That's precisely what puzzles me..." " Puzzles you?" " No, no, it doesn't puzzle me at all..." "I'm not puzzled in the least." "But, in a way..." "If you have nothing against it, we'll marry you tomorrow, okay?" "I wont let you leave just like that this time." " My dear sir, just wait a little." " Wait?" "That's impossible!" "The wedding!" "Only the time must be decided." "When?" "That's a well-planned attack." "Oharu, your new rival is strong." "There's nothing at all between Asai-san and myself." "Don't bother." "Even me, though I only feed from barley... my piercing eye is never wrong." "Whatever you say!" "Your father understands this, better than other people..." "Simura-san." " Can you give me some tea?" " Yes, come in, come in." "Is it good news?" "It bothers me, to be honest." "Liar!" "For sure, I don't look like a macho..." "But I'd hate to return to my past life in uniform." "Is that so?" "Yes." "Thank you for earlier." "There's nothing to thank me about." "What!" "She's waiting for you." "Here, bring her this, without waiting." "You can take the barley, too, if you want." " Thanks a lot." " It's nothing." "That's all you have to say to me?" "You're as despicable as my father..." "Oharu, your counter-attack wasn't too bad!" "Dad, I hate you." "Of course, of course." "You hate Asai-san too, I believe?" "The date has been fixed." "So, please answer me." "Leaving in the middle of the discussion like that?" "Unbelievable." "It was to bring you tea..." "Would you like barley, too?" "I didn't come for that." "Your wedding with Fujio, when will it take place?" "Answer me." " You want some?" " Answer me first!" "Father, you're too pushy..." "Keep quiet." "Who was so pushy in asking me to come here?" "But, still..." "It's getting critical..." "Like angry clouds in the sky..." "It troubles me a little." "The rain, the rain!" "Father, the rain!" " It started raining!" " Keep quiet." "...Did you say something?" "Th-th-the rain !" "The rain!" " Oharu-san, I'll help you." " No thanks, just let me do it." " You'll have nothing left to sell!" " Leave me alone!" "Do you want to eat barley forever?" " Just help with your mouth shut..." " All right, all right..." "You see that?" "They are so close and intimate." "It's scandalous and unacceptable!" "It was just a little shower." "As you say, a little shower." "I hate it, this shower of tears." "I was glad to get wet, even if not for long..." "If there's still pity in this world..." "Your..." "This little shower, fortunately for me, has deepened our love." "In days of rain, one walks under the canopy." "Our little street of love is not without its charms." "Did you fail your mission?" "The negociation, it seems, turned out to be complicated." "I see, that's more reasonable." "The woman isn't just like any other item." "I apologize..." "Don't worry..." "While you're here, Matsuda, watch this tambourine." "Yes." "Such a beautiful tambourine!" "Yes, indeed." "It is called..." ""The tambourine of Hatsuno, whose owner comes from Sizuka-Gozen."" "Sizuka-Gozen!" "Oh, Manemon." "Your magnificent excellency gives me such great honor, and..." "Leave the formalities." "Just tell me what you think of it?" "It's a flute..." "and it's awfully dirty." "Your answer disappoints me." "Like giving pearls to pigs." "Go on!" "Yes." "What the legend says, it's that... it's that... during the battle in the valley of Ichi, those who stood no chance to survive, those who, beaten, slaughtered by the samurai of the Genji clan," "died and were lost, oh!" "How sad is this story of Heike!" "They, the last men of the Heike clan, under the fading light of the moon, they played the flute, as their last memory, oh" "the flute that was called "Aoba"..." "Do you know that flute?" "On the beach of Suma, the thunder brought a flower, half-blossomed, it was beautiful boy" "whose name was Atsumori, a skilled storyteller, though of no status," "..and this flute, sadly, would remain his last memory." "It's a terrible flute..." "Thus the life of the artist ends, in a rather disappointing fashion." "Your answer disappoints me..." "So, this time, it'll be the cup of Do-hachi." "And here it is, here it is, it's a tea-cup." "Tchan-Tchan-Tchawan, it sounds clear and sound." "Do-hachi, it's the best cup in Japan." "Do you see?" "Do you hear?" "Can you hear?" "Can you see?" "Nicely polished, it has class, with that colourful shine." "It's not even so expensive." "The shape is gracely drawn." "Here it is, here's the cup of tea, masterpiece of the century." "100 ryo, not too expensive." "100 ryo!" "And here it is, here it is, it's a tea-cup.." "Tchan-Tchan-Tchawan, it sounds clear and sound." "Do-hachi, it's the best cup in Japan." "Do you see?" "Do you hear?" "Can you hear?" "Can you see?" "Nicely polished, it has class, with that colourful shine." "It's not even too expensive." "The shape is gracely drawn." "Here it is, here's the cup of tea, masterpiece of the century." "I'll buy it!" "How much?" "One ryo!" "That's too much." "I'de like to, but that's too expensive." "How much are you short?" "A quart of a ryo..." "Well, to honor a long-time client, I'll do you this favor." "Really?" "Can you do me this favor?" "I'm grateful." "Then... in that case..." "But, wait..." "Without this money..." "I wont be able to buy rice." "How's that?" "You can eat rice every single day!" "A distinguished man has no such trouble." "One doesn't die of hunger in two or three days." "Indeed, you are right." "Naturally..." "Such a discovery!" "But, Rokubei-san, it's not a fake, is it?" "I guarantee it." "Okay..." "Simura-san!" " Yes?" " Where are you going?" " I'm going home." " It's the other way." "Yes, I remember now." "The barley, can I?" "Yes." "Ah, thanks for today." "The barley was exquisite." "The scent reminded me of my childhood." "Yes?" "It only reminds me of nausea." "Pity." "But why?" "Every single day, that's all we ever eat, barley three times a day." "Perhaps my face is becoming yellow?" "Can I give it a look?" "Damn you!" "But today, it's okay." "You'll have enough money." "Yes..." "We can eat white rice, finally." "Good evening..." "Welcome!" "I'm back." "Yes?" "Do you want me to serve tea?" "I'de be glad." "Oharu-san, please." "I wont bother you." "I'm going home." "Oharu-san, you're forgetting the pot... of barley!" "Reiza-san, you fool!" "Singing the song of the bird in love..." "The red rose blossoms." "In my romantic dream, we see each other in secret." "It's a real treasure, and such a discovery !" "Oharu, I got this rare cup of Dohachi for only three quarters of a ryo." "Amazing, isn't it?" "So father, you have, in fact..." "Spent all our money?" "Don't you worry." "It's a family treasure, for just three quart of a ryo." "One doesn't die of hunger in just two or three days." "Don't you worry.." "Dad..." "I see it makes you happy?" "My joy is spreading!" "Isn't it a lot of fun, Oharu, to live along with art?" " Dad, you fool!" " Hmmm?" "So it was... a blunder?" "Dad, you can't be helped!" "We have no rice, as usual." "Oharu, sorry, sorry..." " Master?" " Yes?" "You have such a beautiful voice, I did not expect it." "My voice?" "I'm quite proud of it..." "That's what I call humility." "I think you're rather skilled." "Really?" "Yes, but..." "I think that I'm not bad either, am I?" "In fact, I'm a professionnal." "Yes, yes, I am really impressed..." "Oharu-san!" "So, what do you say?" "Is it bad... really bad?" "To tell you the truth, it's beyond my skills..." "What?" "In fact, not science nor magic..." " ...can cure this disease." " How's that?" "The disease of love, I think." "D-Disease of love?" "The disease of love, which no science nor magic can cure." "A class illness, it seems." "You can choose, as you please, among these men." "Yes..." "I am Matsuda, "field of pines"." "The pine is a tree with leaves forever green." "I am "cedar bay" Sugiura, standing tall and elegant." "Hinokiyama, "cypress mountain", like an umbrella of cypress over dark hair." "And me, I'm "camellia" Tsubaki." "Camellia's the right flower for you." "I am Yanagawa, "willows' river"." "I was waiting for my turn." "The leaves of the willow plow under the wind." ""Bamboo forest", Takebayashi." "Yet another man to choose.." "Takebayashi, for his proud heart." "Hm..." "I'm sorry, but..." " Everywhere, only..." " ...dispensable stuff." " Nothing of interest." " Nothing / genuine / to be seen." "That is well said, my loyal people." "And I understand your trouble, as for the things with no value, better let them go than pick them up..." "So, as usual, let's go hunting treasures!" "Hello." "Welcome, Sir." "Today, I have an excellent Tanyu painting." "A Tanyu..." "Well, I would like to see it." " A Kano Tanyu..." " Indeed." "But still, Rokubei," "That Sesshu the other day turned out to be a fake." "I'm sorry to hear that." "It was a top-notch imitation even superior to the real thing." "That's possible, since even I was fooled." "A Tanyu..." "A landscape by Tanyu." "It's wonderful." "Amazing..." "The masterpiece of the century, indeed." "I don't think I can afford it, but I'de like to know its price." "50 ryo!" " Not too expensive." " You think so?" "50 ryo, not that much..." "I'm just a little short." "Short?" "How much?" "Half a ryo." "Well, to honor a long-time costumer..." "Don't be mistaken." "What I meant was I only have half a ryo." "I apologize..." "Sorry for troubling you in vain." "All apologies..." "Okay now..." "Sir, people like pretty things." "What about it?" "I'm impressed by such devotion." "When one gets involved with art, that's how he should behave." "Surely, you must be right." "The ancients said that a great king knows to accomplish the secret charity." "The ancients said that...?" "Yes." "The ancient wisdom..." "I see..." "Sir!" " Yes." " I'm buying this Tanyu." " Thank you!" " Not for me, but for that man." "Simura-san!" "What?" "The lord offers you this Tanya." "How's that !" "?" "How c-c-can.. how can it be?" "Love often plays deadly tricks." "Where the wind of love blows gently, its caress is so abundant that I get dizzy." "My body, because of this love, is in pain, and smells almost like dry fish." "Just like the hard life, the butterfly gets dizzy on the scents of love." "Even when I give you presents, the comb and the hairpin altogether, you remain cold to me.." "I'm like a bag of seeds, torn open on both sides." "In the corner, a rice salesman's sitting down, in a humble fashion." " Reiza-san?" " Yes?" "Where did you find this umbrella?" "Otomi-san left it behind." "Is that why you're in such a good mood?" "It's strange, but with this, the room seems clearer." "I've got plenty such fine umbrellas at home." "...but you like her's better." "Jealous?" " Jealous?" "Whom?" " You, Oharu-san." " Darnit." "That's all right." "The umbrella is red, like love..." "With little skye-blue dots." "They're so cute!" "But still, these blue dots are the sign of an unfaithful soul." "Reiza-san, are you in love with Otomi-san?" "Could be." "What!" "You, you meanie!" "I see, I see, I see!" "All right, if you love her." "Damn this umbrella !" "Sir?" " Yes?" " Today's my birthday." "Everyone's there, except you." "Please, come along, master." "Sorry for inviting you to such an ugly place." "The artistic life doesn't choose its place." "It's an honour, and a pleasure..." "I've collected these goods over the years." "Oharu, Oharu!" "Coming!" "This tambourine, often attributed to Sizuka-Gozen, is called the "tambourine of Hatsune"." "Yes... very good..." "I'm delighted to hear that." "And this instrument, here..." "Atsomori's memory, "Aoba's flute"." "Very, very good." "You know the flute of Aoba?" "On the beach of Suma, the thunder brought an half-blossomed flower, it was a very beautiful boy," "his name was Atsumori, a skillful storyteller, though of no grade," "..and this flute, sadly, would remain his last memory." "Very good, excellent." "And here is, here is, here's a tea-cup." "Tchan-tchan-tchawan, it sounds clear and sound." "Do-hachi, the best tea-cup in all Japan." "It's getting even better..." "Do you see?" "Do you hear?" "Can you hear?" "Can you see?" "Well-polished, it has class, in all its colorfoul shine." "It's not even too expensive." "Its curves are gracely drawn." "Gotta agree about the curves." "Here is, here's the cup of tea, masterpiece of the century." "That girl is an inaccessible masterpiece." "with her peony look, and her willow-like curves," "Cherry?" "Lilly?" "Wisteria?" "Words fail her, she's beyond any praise." "Me..." "I'm definitely stuck..." "Manemon, can you help me out?" "Yes." "I, Manemon, have planned everything." "Hm." " Her father ows you 50 ryo, thanks to my trick." " Hm." " That will lead you to the nuptial bed." " Hm!" "And I fulfill my duty." "I see, fantastic!" "Fantastic, fantastic." ""The glory of a king... depends on his subjects", that's well said." "My blood is boiling." "I'm in love with her." "By all means, go on, my subjects." "And thus, like that, he liked her a lot." "It's an honour with no equal for a girl, you see?" "So, do you accept?" " Unfortunately, the answer's no." " What?" "You disagree?" "She is my only child." "Furthermore, she wants to live with the man living next-door." "Yes, I know..." "No, I don't know anything about it, and it's not my business." "If you refuse, those 50 ryo lend to you..." "I see, that's what it was for..." "That whole thing, with the lord, was too good to be true." "I'll give you your money back." "You'll give it back?" "Yes." "50 ryo is a whole lot." "You don't give your daughter away just for a bowl of soup." "I'll give it back to you, even if I must sell all of this." "This garbage, how much will you get for it?" "Well, see you tomorrow morning, not too soon I hope?" "You'll be welcome." "A samurai remains a samurai, even as an umbrella salesman." "he'de never turn to stone..." "I'll keep my word." "Don't worry, Toyama-uji, or else you'll turn bald soon!" "Such big talking!" "You'll regret it!" "Dad..." "Hmm?" "Are you sure?" "50 ryo..." "No problem, no problem." "This tanyu alone is worth 50 ryo." "The moment I find a mountain, it stops being a mountain." "The moment I find the river, it stops being a river." "Tanyu was very skillful in painting his dreams." "That's what distinguishes his art." "One doesn't give his beloved daughter away, even for a debt of 50 ryo." "Oh you, my painting, though I'm getting used to you, this is the time to say goodbye, how sad it may be." "Dad... poor thing..." "I'll go get some sake?" "Is that okay with you?" "Tonight, I'll drink in honour of the painting?" "It's okay with me." "The moment I find the mountain, it has stopped being a mountain." "Wh-What, it's... it's a fake?" "A fake..." "Ro-Rokubei-san, don't play games on me..." "I'm sorry, but, it seems that it's a fake after all." "A fake..." "For 50 ryo..." "Is it genuinely fake?" "100 per cent fake..." "A fake..." "A fake..." "I'm really sorry." "I feel bitter about it." "In see..." "There's nothing to be done then." "Rokubei-san, for how much would you take it back?" "Hehe... well, now..." "That's hard to say..." "Don't hesitate, please tell me..." "You must buy it back from me." "In that case.. 3 ryo!" " Thr-thr-thr..." " 3 ryo!" "3 ryo..." "Rokubei-san, you're not mistaken, are you perhaps?" "I'de like to say 5 ryo, but..." "With that lousy composition, the price can't rise above 3 ryo." "Only 3 ryo..." "Sorry to keep you waiting." "15 mon for the Do-hachi bowl." "20 for the Aoba flute." "10 for the Hatsu-ne tambourine." "Kakejiku landscape..." "1 bu and 20 mon." "Hotei kimono..." "26 mon." "Which makes... 8 ryo and a half." "Such a mess!" "Well then, Simura-san, pull yourself together." "That's 8 ryo and a half for everything." " 8 ryo and a half..." " Yes." "All those years of work, reduced to 8 and a half ryo..." "Not bad, for an amateur." "The real discovery must be rare." "Otherwise, our job wouldn't exist." "You're right." "Of course..." "But, since you're a long-time costumer, I'll make that 9 ryo in total." "Which makes 12 ryo with the Tanyu." "So, here you have them." "You're not taking everything yet?" "No, no, it's very heavy." "I'll come back with the trolley." "Goodbye." "Dad..." "Sorry..." "What will we do?" "We're stuck." "I'm sorry..." "I'de rather die than become his mistress..." "You understand?" "Sorry..." "Father?" "Sorry..." "I'm sorry..." "Oharu, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." "Fools!" "Haven't you got the slightest sense of negotiating skills ?" "I don't need the 50 ryo, what I need is the masterpiece!" "I apologize..." "Your apologies are of no use!" "I'm sorry..." "What will we do, if it turns out he's able to give the money back?" "Bring her here, by force if needed!" "Wait." "I'm coming with you." "Here it is, here it is, a tea-cup..." "With its nice curves..." "I can't believe it's a fake..." "The flute of Aoba..." "Dad..." "Yes?" "What will we do?" "I'm out of ideas..." "Becoming his mistress... that thought haunts me and makes me sad." "Of course..." "So, am I spared then?" "Hmm?" "Ah, I don't think so..." "That's out of the question." "Pull yourself together!" "Of course, of course..." "You always say that." "But, it means nothing." "So, dad?" "Of course...." "Dad, you're mean!" "Of course, of course...." "A fake... unbelievable..." "Father!" "Let's run away during the night!" "Yes, in the night..." "We must leave during the night." "...Leave in the night?" "That's it." "There's no other way for us to escape." "All of this is my fault." "You always wake up only at your last breathe." "I am an elegant lord, and you're such a cute girl." "I'll bring to you the marvelous bouquet of youth." "Follow me, my loyal servants, under the oh-so delighted sky." "Yeah, yeah, we will follow you to the end of the world." "Father, did you dare play such a dirty trick?" "Come on." "I only did it because I love you so much." "No." "I, Fujio, am a samurai's daughter." "Your daughter." "I don't want to hold up to such a trick, in order to harm Reizo-sama." "But still, your illness that even magic can't..." "No, I'm cured already." "Come on, right away!" "It might not be too late." "Come on, quick!" "Don't hurt yourself standing up!" "My wallet is rather empty." "Nothing here but worthless things." "It's now or never, we must leave in the night." "Help me, my daughter." "Prepare your stuff." "Dad!" "Are you laughing now?" "And me..." "I am so sad..." "Of course, of course." "You will say goodbye to him." "Picturing your sadness," "I cry a friggin' lot." "Wait!" "If you meet the daughter of the old samurai.." "Yes." "Tell her that Raizo-san is here, but he doesn't want to see her face..." "That's too cruel." "I can't do it." " Shut up!" " Yes." "...tell her that he decided to become Kagawa's son-in-law." "I can't do that." "I'de become her worst ennemy." "But still, I ask it from you." "Please do it, Sankichi..." "A woman can make her soul hateful, when her love's at stake." "So, please, my dear Sankichi, play the ugly part for me." "Okay..." "Anybody here?" "Will you go look for Asai-san?" "Yes...but, no..." "He said he didn't want to see you..." "Really?" "That's how it is." "It's perhaps our last goodbye..." "But still... still..." "Him and her, lady of our house, they've decided... to marry, I think." " Is that so?" " Yes." "They say it's true..." "So that's how it is..." "Sorry for troubling you." "I'm really sorry..." "That's the girl!" "Quick, quick!" "Yes." "Help me!" "Help me!" " Oharu-san, I'll help you." " No need to, just leave me." "Stubborn, stubborn!" "But you are the one becoming someone's son-in-law." "Quit your bullshit." "What bullshit?" "I don't want to see your face!" "If I turn my face, we can't talk anymore!" "Don't stay here!" "I give up on the masterpiece!" "Run away now !" "Quick, quick!" " Father..." " Sorry, sorry..." "I don't care..." "T-T-Toyame, sir..." " Excuse me." " No, I'm the one to apaologize..." "About the 50 ryo..." "I couldn't make it... sorry." "No, I'm the one to apologize." "Can you wait a little longer?" "Let's go home, come..." "Marry the girl of Kagawa's, or go wherever you please." "I can't go anywhere, cause it's you, and you... only that I love, Oharu-san." "Liar!" "Oharu-san, I'm a bit thirsty, so..." "Will you bring me tea?" "Damn you!" "Don't say anything, just go away!" "Go away!" "Tell me, you don't like the daughter of the umbrella salesman?" "You don't like the girl who escapes in the night?" "Fool!" " Rokubei-san..." " Yes?" "Come drink tea at my place..." "And the barley, if you like it better..." "Such a surprise!" "Before my eyes, the tea-pot "Bunkyu"." "Another joke?" "Come on, don't flatter me." "It's the tea-pot of Bunkyu!" "In order to get it," "The lord Masamune Date once offered his country." "Liar!" "A lousy, worthless thingie!" "You damn fool!" "It's totally unique." "No, no, I don't believe you!" "Unique and without equal!" "Impossible!" "But perhaps it's worth 50 ryo?" "50 or 100 ryo?" "No, no..." "Rather 1000, or 2000." "Is it genuine?" "Surely, it's genuinely 10,000 ryo worth !" "... ten thousand ryo." "You wont hold back this time?" "Count me in." "I see then... 10,000 ryo... 10,000 ryo..." "Did you hear that?" "!" "Oharu, brace yourself!" "The 10,000 ryo-pot is mine!" "The barley-pot becomes 10,000 ryo." "Thousand, million, a billion times ten thousand !" "Me, a millionaire of 10,000 ryo !" "So, we don't have to flee?" "Of course not." "After giving him his money back..." "I'll still have, er, 9995 ryo !" "Damn the secondary house !" "I'll have a bigger and nicer one !" "Done with making umbrellas !" "Is it true, dad?" "As true as it gets." "Rokubei-san, you can confirm it to me." "Confirm it, please!" "C-C-C-Confirmed !" "Reiza-san!" "Reiza-san!" "Did you hear, Reiza-san?" "This pot is worth 10,000 ryo!" "We are rich, very rich..." "My father will have a much bigger house than this." "Finally, I don't feel inferior to her, Otomi-san!" "Oharu-san, that's great news..." "Are you happy?" "Of course I am!" "Then..." "Reiza-san!" "I loathe rich people, even more the "new-rich" type." "Oharu-san, go and marry someone who likes rich girls." "As for me, I'll move off." "Reiza-san!" "Quiet!" "I see, I get it." "Dad..." "Father..." "Oharu!" "Dad, don't get angry!" "Forget all this, just forget it, okay?" "Finally, I have understand... what's most worthy isn't money." "As for love, it's of supreme worth, it's a light with no shadow." "Even if it's worth 10, or 20 thousand ryo..." "This isn't a true discovery." "No matter the price, in the end it's just mud on the ground." "And thus, of fragile constitution, once it fell on the road, it broke easily." "The tea-cup is easy to break, however there are.." "things that can never ever be broken." "Pure, tender and beautiful, it's our heart's sincerity." "Yes!" "Well said!" "You're right!" "My daughter, that's how it should be, what you found wasn't money, but the treasures of the soul." "Oharu-san, I was wrong." "I apologize." "In order to know the heart of a flower, one must be a flower herself." "Such a nice drop of loving water." "From now on, I'm definitely on your side, you're a magnificent sight." "No, don't apologize, Otomi-san..." "Far away from the umbrella painted in your dreams..." "I'd rather stay in the shadow of the man I love." "All I need to protect myself from the dark and cold rain, is a Janome umbrella !" "Reizo-san!" "Well done, my girl, well done, even if I wasn't your father," "I'de still respect you more than myself." "You're my treasure, the one and only." "Oharu-san, I'm so happy..." "Even in this cruel and harsh world," "I'de have no fear on the road if we are together." "In the days of rain, and the windy nights," "It's nice under the Janome umbrella." "If only we love each other, we can come over anything, with the strong Janome umbrella." "Let's sing, sing, lovebirds, let's sing in delight..." "When, happy and with a light foot, just like a lovebirds, it's a spring of dreams and songs." "We feel the gentle wind of spring." "The bride is blossoming." "So is the groom." "Here, joyfully... even flowers embellish." "The joyfull lovebirds, together, let's dance together, with delight." "It's my spring, our spring !" "Singing Lovebirds THE END"
