Synopsis: Family and friends of the late Shuzo Miwa have gathered for his annual memorial service, this one marking the seventh anniversary of his passing. Three of his long time friends - married Shuzo Taguchi, married Soichi Mamiya, and widowed Seiichiro Hirayama - have long known and admitted to each other that they have always been attracted to his widow, Akiko Miwa, who they believe has gotten even more beautiful as she has matured. The three friends take it upon themselves to find a husband for the Miwa's now twenty-four year old daughter, Ayako Miwa, who they believe as beautiful as her mother, and who, as a pure innocent, deserves a good husband. Their self-appointed task is despite them knowing that Ayako does not want them to do so. She doesn't want to get married, at least not yet, as she struggles with her traditional sensibilities in post-war modern Japan. Her first priority as she sees it is to take care of her widowed mother, who would be alone if she were to get married. The diff

00:
23:07,020 -- 00:23:10,615

Miwa would have been glad

to see all of you there.

283

00:
23:11,220 -- 00:23:13,575

Have you had lunch?

284

00:
23:13,940 -- 00:23:15,851

Not really, but...

285

00:
23:15,980 -- 00:23:19,131

Shall we go out for lunch?

Not that l know any great place to eat...

286

00:
23:19,260 -- 00:23:21,820

But l have to be back by 2:00.

287

00:
23:21,980 -- 00:23:22,935

Back where?

288

00:
23:23,220 -- 00:23:28,169

l'm helping out at my friend's

dressmaking school these days.

289

00:
23:28,660 -- 00:23:30,378

With rench embroidery.

290

00:
23:30,500 -- 00:23:31,728

Are you a teacher?

291

00:
23:31,860 -- 00:23:34,533

Yes, though not a very good one.

292

00:
23:34,860 -- 00:23:36,293

lt must be a challenge.

293

00:
23:36,780 -- 00:23:40,011

Let's have lunch together.

l'll drive you to the school afterwards.

294

00:
23:42,060 -- 00:23:43,413

Shall we go?

295

00:
23:51,380 -- 00:23:53,940

l'm leaving now. Have the car ready.

296

00:
24:22,300 -- 00:24:25,417

-Have another glass.

-No, thank you.

297

00:
24:25,620 -- 00:24:26,814

No more?

298

00:
24:32,020 -- 00:24:33,772

Did you notice that man back there?

299

00:
24:33,900 -- 00:24:37,097

The man who greeted me at the elevator

as we were leaving.

300

00:
24:37,420 -- 00:24:40,571

No, sorry. l'm not very observant.

301

00:
24:40,700 -- 00:24:44,454

He's a bit shorter than l am.

He had some hair falling onto his face.

302

00:
24:44,860 -- 00:24:47,613

l really didn't notice him.

303

00:
24:48,020 -- 00:24:51,012

Well, he doesn't really stand out

or anything.

304

00:
24:51,660 -- 00:24:55,175

He's a good man and an efficient worker.

305

00:
24:56,380 -- 00:25:01,818

When we were talking about Ayako's match,

l thought of him immediately.

306

00:
25:02,580 -- 00:25:06,812

But Taguchi was so quick to offer help

and he sounded so confident...

307

00:
25:08,540 -- 00:25:10,770

Mr Taguchi is a funny man.

308

00:
25:11,500 -- 00:25:16,335

He's so funny that everything else

becomes funny when he gets involved.

309

00:
25:17,580 -- 00:25:20,856

He's a real character, isn't he?

310

00:
25:21,340 -- 00:25:24,332

l can't remember

where this man graduated from.

311

00:
25:25,100 -- 00:25:28,695

He's been with us for four or five years.

312

00:
25:29,420 -- 00:25:32,253

He may not look like the athletic type,

313

00:
25:33,340 -- 00:25:38,255

but he's captain of our basketball team.

What would you think of a man like him?

314

00:
25:39,540 -- 00:25:41,178

He sounds very nice.

315

00:
25:41,460 -- 00:25:43,337

Would you like to meet him,

316

00:
25:43,540 -- 00:25:46,930

or would you like to see his picture

and background information first?

317

00:
25:47,060 -- 00:25:48,971

Maybe that would be better.

318

00:
25:51,740 -- 00:25:53,139

Here you go.

319

00:
25:58,540 -- 00:25:59,768

Thank you.

320

00:
26:12,060 -- 00:26:14,858

-l'll send them to you.

-Thanks a lot.

321

00:
26:15,860 -- 00:26:19,330

-Could you get me a photo of Ayako?

-Sure.

322

00:
26:21,460 -- 00:26:23,974

Do you always smoke a pipe?

323

00:
26:24,100 -- 00:26:25,931

l smoke both cigarettes and pipes.

324

00:
26:26,620 -- 00:26:30,295

My husband was fond of pipes, too.

We still have a few at home.

325

00:
26:31,100 -- 00:26:33,011

You can have them if you like.

326

00:
26:33,220 -- 00:26:36,337

That would be great.

l'd like to have one of his.

327

00:
26:36,940 -- 00:26:41,570

l don't know if they're any good,

but some he bought in England.

328

00:
26:42,700 -- 00:26:46,090

They must be good quality.

He was very particular about those things.

329

00:
26:46,580 -- 00:26:50,368

-Then l'll bring you one someday.

-Thank you.

330

00:
26:50,940 -- 00:26:52,214

Please, help yourself.

331

00:
26:52,500 -- 00:26:55,253

-Thank you.

-Enjoy.

332

00:
27:06,740 -- 00:27:07,934

Coming.

333

00:
27:18,220 -- 00:27:19,619

Here you are, Dad.

334

00:
27:21,300 -- 00:27:23,097

-l think he'd be perfect for her.

-Who?

335

00:
27:23,220 -- 00:27:24,858

Mr Goto. He's a fine man.

336

00:
27:28,140 -- 00:27:29,175

You really think so?

337

00:
27:29,300 -- 00:27:32,337

He's great.

lf it were me, l'd say yes in a heartbeat.

338

00:
27:34,260 -- 00:27:36,251

Where did he graduate from?

339

00:
27:36,660 -- 00:27:38,651

Waseda University. He studied Economics.

340

00:
27:42,260 -- 00:27:45,969

-Where is he from?

-ushimi. His family runs a brewery.

341

00:
27:49,860 -- 00:27:52,499

Can't you be quiet for a while?

342

00:
27:53,780 -- 00:27:55,418

-Go to your room.

-Why?

343

00:
27:55,540 -- 00:27:56,529

Just do it.

344

00:
28:02,420 -- 00:28:05,651

Dai, you go upstairs, too. Now.

345

00:
28:12,940 -- 00:28:17,172

Waseda, Waseda, Waseda.

346

00:
28:19,620 -- 00:28:22,578

l think Mr Goto's the best candidate

that we know.

347

00:
28:22,700 -- 00:28:25,260

l think so, too. l'm going to invite him over.

348

00:
28:25,780 -- 00:28:28,977

Please talk to him and ask for his photo

and background information.

349

00:
28:29,100 -- 00:28:30,215

l will.

350

00:
28:32,300 -- 00:28:36,009

l wonder what Akiko will do

once Ayako is married.

351

00:
28:36,220 -- 00:28:37,175

She'll be alone.

352

00:
28:37,460 -- 00:28:41,294

She'll be fine. She has to be.

353

00:
28:43,340 -- 00:28:45,535

ls Akiko as beautiful as ever?

354

00:
28:45,660 -- 00:28:47,810

Yes, very beautiful.

355

00:
28:49,180 -- 00:28:53,059

But l like Ayako better. She's so pure.

356

00:
28:53,300 -- 00:28:54,255

Do you really?

357

00:
28:54,860 -- 00:28:57,693

Taguchi said he prefers Akiko.

358

00:
28:58,180 -- 00:28:59,977

l think you do, too.

359

00:
29:01,180 -- 00:29:03,455

-Do what?

-Prefer Akiko.

360

00:
29:03,700 -- 00:29:07,056

No way. That's not me. That's Taguchi.

361

00:
29:08,020 -- 00:29:10,215

He's liked her

ever since he was a young man.

362

00:
29:10,780 -- 00:29:13,214

Really? And you haven't?

363

00:
29:13,900 -- 00:29:15,128

Not really.

364

00:
29:15,260 -- 00:29:17,820

Oh? Which medicines did you buy?

365

00:
29:18,820 -- 00:29:20,697

-What?

-l'm asking about the medicine.

366

00:
29:20,820 -- 00:29:22,697

-Whose medicine?

-Yours.

367

00:
29:23,100 -- 00:29:25,694

Was it a cold compress or a decongestant?

368

00:
29:28,740 -- 00:29:30,776

Who told you this nonsense?

369

00:
29:32,220 -- 00:29:33,369

Taguchi's wife?

370

00:
29:33,780 -- 00:29:35,975

l know why you never catch a cold.

371

00:
29:36,100 -- 00:29:38,216

You took too many decongestants

back then.

372

00:
30:03,380 -- 00:30:04,574

l'm home.

373

00:
30:08,860 -- 00:30:12,216

Hi, Mum. Have you had supper?

374

00:
30:12,620 -- 00:30:14,770

Ms Sakai treated me to supper.

375

00:
30:15,020 -- 00:30:17,409

-l've been waiting for you all this time.

-Sorry.

376

00:
30:22,020 -- 00:30:23,897

l bought some sweets on the way home.

377

00:
30:25,580 -- 00:30:28,378

-Do you want to eat it now?

-l'll eat it a little later.
