other clans would have gladly taken in
any ronin who'd earned a name for himself.
1:00:06
But in an era no longer in need
of warriors or horses,
1:00:09
so peaceful that no wind
even rustled the leaves on the trees,
1:00:14
it was a constant struggle
simply to find a meal.
1:00:18
Indeed, it shames me to recall
1:00:21
our miserable lives
of these last eight or nine years.
1:00:29
But amidst all our hardships...
1:00:34
my daughter Miho
was rapidly becoming a woman,
1:00:39
and soon it was
the spring of her 18th year.
1:01:10
Father.
1:01:12
I've set your lunch out
in case I'm not back in time.
1:01:18
The greatest delicacies
taste of nothing when eaten alone.
1:01:23
If you're not back, I'll wait.
1:01:27
I'll collect for these and then stop
by Yoshizakicho for dried fish.
1:01:33
Hello.
1:01:35
Welcome, sir.
1:01:36
Busy as usual?
Looks like you're on your way out.
1:01:39
Yes, to the wholesaler
in Kyobashi.
1:01:41
The Mikawaya, I suppose.
Take care.
1:01:54
Experience is the best teacher.
1:01:56
You've become very deft at that.
1:01:59
Forgive me.
