Mantaro reveals the names of plants throughout Japan

I found a big dream to make a botanical picture book.

As a first step to lead to the encyclopedia, I was aiming to launch a botanical journal.

That's right! (Mantaro) This is

I'm going to ask Dr. Maximovich.

⚟ (Door opening/closing sound)

For the first issue of the botanical journal

I need to get Professor Tanabe's permission...

Ah ah...! (Hatano) Wait, wait, wait...!

What? What? If you just go and ask him, he'll be fine, right?

Mr. Wan, you don't understand Yushi!

If Ucy says "NO", that's it!

can not understand. As for everyone I'm still talking about...

Every time! See you soon.

Makino-san didn't come today either...

Are you busy?

You're Sueko Nishimura, aren't you?

Oh, what happened? What about goodwill?

Oh mother... yes?

Excuse me.

My name is Kashima, and I am Takafuji's secretary.

From Takafuji I've come to use this lady as an errand.

⚟ (Takafuji) Go ahead.

excuse me.

Nice to meet you again.

Mr. Takato... please.

i am here

I don't like talking with a lady standing.

Thank you.

English tea.

I tasted it when I was studying abroad and liked it.

Wow…. It has a red color.

It's pretty good. please.

yes.

I told you the other day

I would like to formally invite you to participate in a dance practice.

I am honored to have been invited to serve you again.

But I don't think it will work for me.

Even if you ask me why.

I visited here for the first time the other day and understood it well.

It is unsuitable from the beginning.

I am the daughter of a confectionery shop owner in Nezu.

Ha ha ha…. Only then? eh?

Maybe it has something to do with your father's death?

I did a little research.

Your father was a retainer of Lord Hikone.

After Goichishin, you joined the army. yes.

The army was trying to create a French-style army.

As for horseback riding, I was ordered to ride from the left side in the Western style, contrary to the Japanese way of riding up to this point.

Your father died after falling from a horse.

Yes you are right.

In other words, the Western way of doing things killed my father.

do you hate the west too?

no.

I don't want to think that my father died because he was forced into it.

My father used to read books to me when he was alive.

I like stories about adventures and challenges.

Besides, my father thought that if he tried a new method, he would start with himself first.

I think there was.

My father was probably just trying to challenge the Western way of doing things.

I think so.

thank you. I understand.

Ms. Sueko I still want you to participate in the Butoh practice session.

I will visit your mother soon.

Mr. Takafuji!

We do not dance to entertain foreigners.

That's not the purpose. It's just a tool.

means? By imitating the Western way

What will Japan get?

The true purpose is still far away

That's why we need courageous women to walk with us.

let me introduce you

Hello.

Her name is Clara Lawrence. She came from America.

Her husband was a missionary, but he passed away in his home country.

Clara inherited her husband's will and came to Japan alone.

Thanksgiving, snowflakes and snowflakes.

Sueko Konnichiha.

Ah... hello. (Takafuji) Fufufu...

how is it? Why don't you wear Sueko's dress?

dress?

Ah um... I... picture….

That's fine! I can't believe it's made to order!
