A Film By Heinosuke Gosho

Sir, what's happened?

A woman ran away.

She is a geisha at Yukawa-r .

Didn't you see her?

Then she must have gone by the road.

I don't know what kind of girl she is, but I feel sorry for her....

They'll catch her around Sh zenji temple.

Mr. Kubota, it's been a long time since I saw you last.

I guess Yukawa-r has become rich enough to have its own geisha.

Since our mine became successful, things are booming now.

If only you had stayed longer.

It's too bad for you.

I hear many engineers are looking for more mines around here.

I guess you're one of them.

It's one way to make money, though -

My way is not to run around seeking another mine.

That's the one who was at the Yukawa-r mine -

he's well-known as a pushy slave-driver.

As we are honest, we could not avoid paying debts like she did.

We're all nice here, I don't understand

at all why she didn't like such a good house.

I think she got a man.

I remember she was flirting with someone.

Kisaku, come here.

Go to the police station and ask them not to touch that woman.

Then you want them to leave such an ungrateful woman alone?

I reported her because I was afraid she was cheated by a crook....

The way things are exaggerated, people would think

I am stingy. That's not good.

And it would not be pleasant if our customers heard this story.

Beggars and traveling actors are not allowed to enter.

Young Men's Association of Minosaku Village.

Hold on, brother!

What did you do to that notice!

It had fallen down.

Liar! You must have knocked it down.

It was already fallen over...

You must have done it. Come to the office!

You insist on saying I did it?

It is your fault.

It had really fallen down before we came.

I never lie.

Did you see him knock it down?

I saw it.

It was not this man, but the Sakuhachi player who came by earlier.

You shouldn't have used force without evidence.

You should apologize.

Why do that? I told the truth like I learned in civics class!

We keep traveling from spring to autumn,

and when winter comes we go back to shima over Amagi.

You shouldn't think we're carefree travelers, though,

when we see those notices we feel desolate.

If we made an honest living, from the mine we've had

since my father's day, we would not be so...

Stop it, brother.

I don't like to see my sister doing this work....

But that's life.

Did you meet a woman in the street, age 25 or 26, who looks like a geisha?

What is your name?

This is my wife, Chiyoko.

I didn't recognize you since you've become so thin.

That's understandable. We had a baby prematurely on the road.

They've come to ask us to stop searching for the runaway geisha.

Yukawa-r asked us.

Since I asked them to stop searching...

You are surly even though I've been gone a long time!

I don't want to act friendly, I even hate talking to you.

How ferocious. I have no business with you.

The master is home, isn't he?

If he were home, he wouldn't see you.

Master, Kubota the engineer has returned.

He wanted to see you,

but I think it's better you don't see him....

He's here. It must not be on good business.

You, see him instead.

Young master, he is an incorrigible traveler. Take care.

Please excuse me for my long silence...

How is your father?

He is very busy these days so I am meeting you instead.

It's very good you are busy.

I've heard of your prosperity. How nice it is...

Not so much.

Young master, how are your studies?

I'm the son of a hot-spring innkeeper.

I'm not likely to go to the university.

Did you quit?

While I was thinking of quitting, I graduated.

By the way, what is your business?

I'd like to have my reward.

It was I, Kubota, who guaranteed this place would be a good mine,

when your father tried to buy it.

I humbly tell you, that without my advice, you might not have been so successful.

Wait. You're reasonable on that point.

However, when my father had financial troubles, you ran away.

You've come now for a reward as if it were your own...

You are too selfish.

Now that your mine is successful, it's time to give rewards.

You bought it at a giveaway price, and now it's become a great hit.

Don't you owe this success to me?

You don't know the law.

Keep in mind, your request is called blackmail.

Blackmail? How can you be so rude!

You're green, you can't understand. Call your father!

- It seems they're getting clamorous. - Is he all right?

I will go.

There are still some men on my side at the mine.

I could make trouble for you.

What an absurd man! I will shoot you down unless you go out now!

If you want to shoot me, do it!

This doesn't mean I do it under duress, but go and take this with you!

I will take it as railroad fare.

Old man, you can't even hit a pig.

He says he would like to go with us till Shimoda.

Although we are humble, you might be less bored traveling with us.

It would be nice if he came to shima.

I am a floating weed, I spend my youth in traveling.

In every waking moment, flowers of love and sympathy bloom.

Business seems to be good as usual in this town.

We might have a job tonight.

We have arranged an inn for you. Let's go.

Am I in another inn?

It's not suitable for you here.

Yuri, I'll take it.

That student looks so nice.

The students who come to shima have strangely

long hair. But his hair looks nice.

See you later.

Is there a barbershop around here?

Are you all together?

Please come here later.

Why do you look so pleased?

My childhood friend.... I'll see him later.

Are you jealous?

Jealous?

Stop it!

That dancer's brother, Eikichi, lives a fast life.

He lost the whole inheritance from his father.

People say, "Accomplishments are a lifelong benefit to their possessor."

Still, I feel sorry for his sister.

It's dangerous to be curious and go along with such travelers.

Kaizu-ya Haberdasher

It seems a lot of people come here. It's a Gold Rush.

Since I finished my exams, I've come here to visit the whole Izu area.

You could stay at my place...

I could not stay at my senior's place...

Anyway, visit me.
