Scarlet (スカーレット)

Fire! Erase it!

It's okay if you erase it! Burn more!

More and more fire!

Sea!

One spring day in 1947, some time after the long and painful war ended.

... Let's go to the sea. Lake Biwa is the best lake in Japan!

No. 1 in Japan! Oh.

Hey! Hey!

This girl's name is Kimiko Kawahara.

It paves the way for female potters.

Oh raccoon dog! Come on! (Tsuneji) Oh!

Kimiko and her family, who lost everything in the air raid and were in debt,

I came to Shigaraki from Osaka with the help of an acquaintance.

Eat quietly.

Kimiko supports her family as the eldest of three sisters.

Yes, the hot water is hot. Say!

Good morning Tanuki!

Others are mocked by raccoon dogs.

If you can make it, try making it. Take it and eat it.

Eat a raccoon dog! ?

Look at you... you look like a raccoon dog, don't you?

Ahahaha….

A real raccoon dog!

where did you go…?

Who! ?

What does a potter do?

You're a potter. Some people call me an artist.

People who work to make pottery. Shigaraki's soil is he's a palm.

What is it? Hmmm...

Do you understand? Do you know the quality of Shigaraki soil?

just soil. How much is it? Ah!

One day, my father, Tsuneharu, who went to Osaka, brought back a man named Kusama.

Let's eat….

Would you like to meet your taste? (Kusama) Ah... no...

Are you resting already?

excuse me. Good luck to her.

Do you get it! This person must be Japanese!

Talking makes me sick. The words of Tokyo, Tokyo!

I was born and raised in Tokyo

I was called by my uncle who was in Mantetsu and worked there.

Since I lived there for a long time, I was asked what country I was from.

It's "not far from the middle".

You are sharp

(Kamishibai) The picture-story show of dreams and hopes has come.

From now on, I'll hand out the pon-roasted rice. Line up, line up.

money? Do you need money?

You're impudent even though you don't have money.

I want to see! I've never seen it before I want to see it!

If you only do kamishibai, you don't need money.

Go. I don't need anything to help my stomach!

Kimiko, who is good at drawing, comes up with something.

Come on, it's a picture-story show of dreams and hopes.

I'm Naoko. Aww she's cute

Lake Biwa is the largest lake in Japan.

Oh!

I express it by layering several layers to deepen the color.

It's a very good picture that puts adults to shame.

This is just a scribble!

It's no help to my stomach.

Haa... how long can I keep my head down! Do you get it!

Kimiko...?

I'm home.

What are you doing for lunch? A customer is coming...

I will wait until my father comes home.

A debt collector came from Osaka.

I want to eat boiled eggs too!

Boiled egg Give it to my sister! Who will do it!

Oh! Oh, it hurts...

Hey... Naoko! Naoko! wait!

Ola, be quiet! Damn kid! I hate it!

You don't like it, so let it go! sweet bean?

Oh, it hurts... Mr. Kusama! ?

What are you doing! Oh my!

Wow… oh… oh….

Hona Let me take this as part of the debt.

Really? Do you want the money at home?

Because there are gifts here that cannot be replaced with money.

Hona Shall we leave? (Motoki) Yes.

I'm really sorry that I had to help Naoko.

I am very grateful to you. Oh no...

Yes, but I'm short on money.

Anything like having Mr. Kusama pay part of the debt...

It was 1,000 yen.

880 yen. The rest is 120 yen.

With that feeling of wanting to repay my debt...

No... borrowing...

Please take it. Please.

Somewhere... Really that's it.

no…. If you receive it, yes.

Why are you not accepting it? Kimiko Yes!

Akannen! Already. Even if she did, she wouldn't be able to do it.

That's how you say you can't stand it! mean?

Men have stubbornness and pride that women don't have!

I know! (Tsuneji) What did you find out?

I'm going to a picture-story show. Kamishibai?

Then how about money? I can't even get a pon rice cracker.

The picture-story show old man said. "If you do a picture-story show, she won't need money."

But I'm going home without seeing it. why?

last night my dad said

"I can't stand it like that"... and the same.

Kamishibai I really want to see it...

Can I say it? (Tsuneji) What?

Women also have stubbornness and pride!

Dojo is that dojo? yes. Is he there?

Oh…. Mr. Kusama, where were you?

What are you doing? Get her to wear the knowledge of judo firmly.

Can you tell me? Oh.

Yay~! Hahahaha.

What I want to teach you is not about winning or losing.

What kind of person is a truly strong person?

And I want you to learn the importance of respecting people.

This is Kusama-ryu Judo!

１ ２ ３。

Enter so that your belt is lower than the opponent's belt.

In this way, Kimiko grew up quickly and healthily.

Time flew to 15 years old.

I will graduate from junior high school soon.

I don't want to go to high school.

Another painful thing. Look at the picture of her!

Gold medal this year! Take a look at this and cheer up.

I saw the school decorations so much that my eyes rotted.

Haha.

After graduating from junior high school, I was supposed to work at Marukuma Pottery, the home of my childhood friend.

Can you say "You look cute today too"?

From now on, I might look at my house and tell you.

"You're so cute, Kimi-chan."

"You're so cute, Teru-chan" is also a compliment?

Really! Really!

However….

I want you to pretend that this story never happened.

eh? (Hideo) In a workplace full of men

How about accepting a 15-year-old girl?

′′ I'm in trouble like that... everyone's opinion.

Be patient, Kimi-chan.

welcome home. If you make a verbal promise, it's okay.

I should have written a line this time.

You found me a job.

Osaka? (Tsuneharu) That's right. Work in Osaka.

From spring you are in Osaka.

Do you get it. I'm going to work in Osaka.

And then The day I graduated from junior high school.

I was there! Kimiko!

Why are you going home without permission! ? There is no afterglow of the graduation ceremony.

Say I'm busy. If you talk about going to Osaka, don't listen!

If you're going to go, beat us and go.

come!

Hi~!

Ahahahaha…. I... I can't breathe...

Ahahahaha…. Ha...

Sake, who has a bad personality, was difficult to make friends with.

I'm in trouble with you.

It's okay if you go to Osaka. Forgive me! Never forgive me!

Teruko... how are you?

I can't forget about you. Don't say it!

hey dad yes?

⚟ Do you know the road of the raccoon dog?

Right after I came to Shigaraki, I met a real raccoon dog on that road.

⚟ "Others are mocked by raccoon dogs," Shinsaku said.

Hona I came here to pretend.

It's a pity, but I haven't seen you since then. do you know why?

I don't care anymore.

⚟We are children of Shigaraki.

We love Shigaraki.

home….

I don't want to go to Osaka!

If you go ahead of the raccoon dog's path, it will suddenly open up.

The sunset seen from there is beautiful.

Take a look. If you go to Osaka, you won't be able to see it anymore.

Kimiko decides to leave her family and friends and work in Osaka.

I will travel with a piece of pottery that I found by chance as a talisman.

Kimiko's job was a boarding house maid.

Here. "Arakiso"...

Please come in. yes.

Oh there's the room. Pack your bags. yes.

Even if it's empty, come here...

Um... do you live here? I've lived here for just one year.

Is that so….

Let me use this area. eh?

In order not to cause any trouble, let me use this area.

I will be very careful not to go over there.

You're adorable. eh?

I live on the 2nd floor.

Oh Kei-chan. (Okubo) Is it still closed?

Wait a minute, what kind of relationship does this girl have! ?

Ah, this child. A child who came from Shigaraki.

yes! ? (Sada) Did you say hello?

I'm a medical student aiming to become a doctor.

And Mr. Okubo. She was originally a maid of the Araki family.

You live nearby now and are you coming to help me?

thank you. hona today

Eat dinner and take it easy.

Wow! Our own room!

Wow!

Wow... (Sound of hitting the sliding door)

Uh... Uh... what?

Impossible. There is no way such a child can do it.

Just a moment please. I can

Work hard!

If you look at it from a person's point of view, it won't change much because you worked hard.

Don't be fooled into thinking that this is a job that anyone can do.
