They say the inspector

today is very tough.

Anyway, it's not nice to be inspected for

just 10 minutes and then commented on.

I'd like to watch

Mazaki sensei's class.

Your comment might be

sharper than the inspector's.

Yes, Hashimoto-san might be.

Now you can hear

the real sound of the throat.

Why did you doodle?

Don't call it a doodle.

It's not.

- Then what is this?

- A sketch of my father.

But each face is different.

What are you doing?

Answer me.

I drew the pictures of my father

which each time

came from my heart.

I see. You have no...

Yamagata sensei

said I was

born without the blessing of God.

I won't scold you anymore.

I think Enami-san

likes doodling very much.

Sensei...

Mazaki-kun.

You've kept the inspectors for

a whole hour. I've never heard the like.

We were totally skipped.

For an hour I was thinking with students

and inspired by students,

forgetting the time.

I pay respects to the rich experience

of teacher Mazaki.

All the students were

talking freely, as friends,

that should be noted as

better than in other schools.

Except that, it happened

I picked up the notebook

of a student.

I found many doodlings

here and there.

I hadn't tried to discover

her mischief but

simply wanted to know

how she made notes.

I'm afraid the student feels hurt,

thinking that she is blamed

more than she deserves.

I ask you, teacher Mazaki,

please put her at ease.

I was prepared to be accused,

but thank you for your warm

words to the student.

Please allow me to make

an excuse on her behalf.

She doesn't believe it was doodling.

Unfortunately she doesn't know

her father. If I may be so bold,

she is an illegitimate child.

She drew her father

when he came to mind

every now and then

and wanted to save them.

Considering her daily behaviour

she suffers from unreasonable persecution

due to her unfortunate origin

and she has lost her will-power,

becoming a robot of emotion,

as if God threw her on

the experimental table of life.

She is no more than

a poor guinea pig.

Keiko-san.

Keiko-san will be an artist.

The music and art teachers

say you are a genius.

It's true.

Actually I'm

a load of trouble, aren't I?

Maybe I made a big speech.

I became embarrassed.

What do you think?

I think you protect Enami too much.

I feel your romantic analysis

of Enami is quite wrong.

She lives a corrupt existence

without a sense of real life.

The way you protect that girl,

I feel is quite useless.

You can't say someone is useless

because they are a troublesome person.

She has her own way of living.

She certainly has.

But it's the beauty

of one who goes to ruin.

A hard, momentary beauty.

It's a beauty I don't have.

In addition,

it's a tempting beauty.

What? Tempting?

Is she something...?

No, I just feel so.

In fact it's the opposite.

Enami can make

boyfriends easily.

But if a boy tries to get close,

she yells violently at him.

Maybe such behaviour

comes from her life.

Sensei, goodbye.

Goodbye.

If you intend

to set her a good example

she can become

a wonderful woman. But...

Can you assure me?

Under a certain condition.

What is it?

Make Enami...

your wife.

No, I can't.

I'm a teacher.

Then, it's better to stop

favouring her completely.

Is that an order?

Your lukewarm kindness, neither

one thing nor the other, is the worst.

But, I would raise her

up my own way.

Do as you like.

Do you know

the remark of a certain gambler?

"Woman is multifarious, no need

to care which woman you favour."

Or something similar.

Welcome back.

Mama.

Welcome back.

Mama, take me to apologize.

- Where to?

- To sensei.

- Have you done something wrong again?

- It's mama's fault.

- Me?

- Yes, you, mama.

You are obliged to apologize.

They saw this today.

Mama.

Yes, I am obliged.

- I can come with you.

- Can you?

Yes.

Mama, give me some.

Mama, have you ever been happy?

Well, I don't know.

What is happy?

What is unhappy?

I've lost the power to think of it.

Can a woman only

get happiness from a man?

Is there no happiness in the world,

for a woman being alone?

You become quite

grown-up every now and then.

Well, how can one answer?

Listen, mama.

Suppose you go heaven and are asked

what you've done when you were alive,

what would you answer?

In heaven?

Be honest.

Alright.

I gave my kindness

to many boyfriends equally.

I never betrayed anyone.

It was suitable for my nature.

Therefore no man fought

or became unhappy on my account.

I'd answer like that.

Keiko, is mama a bad woman?

I don't know.

I like mama.

Though I think

you are a very good mama,

sometimes I think you are

a bad mama and I hate you.

Oh, you gave your guest some work.

Because you don't

sew for me, obasan.

Yes, I'm an

inattentive old woman.

It's finished now.

- Thank you.

- Have you done it?

Mama, you can leave.

How rude you are.

See? That's how she is.

Maybe mother spoils her.

We are like sisters,

not mother and daughter.

Mama, leave now.

I'll send you to the way out.

Just as she said.

Sensei, actually

she easily gets lonely.

Please be kind to her.

Hurry, mama.

Oh, you are all together.

With all our children.

Give birth, increase children.

Only for that matter,

we follow the teachings of God.

- Where are you going?

- To beat Mazaki-san.

Debating again?

Excuse me.

See? Good shoes, aren't they?

How could you know my size?

When I was in charge of cleaning,

I secretly measured them.

I see.

We teachers have decided

not to accept gifts,

but as you are especially troublesome,

I'll accept this from you.

Hey, what are you doing?

See, it's fits perfectly.

Sensei's foot is so big.

Mine is so small.

Smell it.

You have oily feet, sensei.

But, sensei,

in today's class, you were

relatively calm with my question.

Don't say that.

But I was rather startled.

I expected you would

ask a unique question.

Did you?

I wanted to see

the face of Hashimoto sensei.

- What? Hashimoto sensei?

- Yes.

Why are you so interested.

That's funny.

Sensei would you like

to eat some?

Watching you like that,

you seem a good, honest girl.

However, sometimes you do

unbelievable things. Why?

I don't know myself.

I think strangely.

For example, if someone

is hiding something,

I want to glance in

the depths of someone's heart.

That's threatening.

It's true.

Then, do you know my mind?

No. You camouflage yourself

and don't allow me to see.

Do I?

No, I don't.

Yes, you do.

No, I don't.

Sure?

See? It's a lie.

A lie, a lie.

Excuse me.

Is Mazaki sensei at home.

It's Hashimoto sensei.

I don't want to see her.

Don't worry.

Just keep sitting.

No problem. Stay.

I'll hide here.

I'll jump out later.

Hashimoto-san, please.

Oh, no.

Please.

You closed the window.

It's so stuffy.

Because you live this, you are

influenced by unhealthy ideas.

Welcome.

Oh, I forgot greetings.

Good evening,

forgive me for disturbing you.

You wait.

You embarrassed me.

No, I was afraid

we'd be debating again.

Yes, I do debate.

Take it easy.

Would you like some tea.

I'll make some.

Are these sweets?

If so let's eat.

It's not a present,

it's a book.

A book?

- Sweets turned into a book.

- Don't say that.

I was thinking of bringing

a present of sweets before I left.

But I didn't, because I decided

not to associate you with any waste.

Is that true?

But, meanwhile the way of no-waste

like that is dangerous.

I don't think a women's beauty

should only be intellectual.

That's no problem for me.

But I still have

the gentleness to make tea.

A rat?

Should I open up

and wipe it out?

Oh, it's not

good manners, sensei.

Obasan.

Give us some tea.

Are you there?

I'll treat you to tea.

Let's go out.

Yes, let's.

- The book?

- I left it in your room.

I brought it to lend it to you.

The present is

nutrition for the brain.

Yes it is.

Dear me.

Miss.

Mama.

What time is it?

Oh, gee.

Miss.

Where is sensei?

He went out.

I'll leave.

Shoes.

Obasan, goodbye.

Look.

Nice.

Will you wear these

on the school trip?

I can't walk in Tokyo

with black stockings.

But is this allowed?

But sensei also...

Really?

Quiet, girls.

The chaperone teachers

for the school trip were announced.

General manager and

accountant is Yamagata sensei.

General affairs and health,

lzumi sensei.

I don't like it.

Guide is, as we hoped,

Mazaki sensei.

Quiet.

Applause for Enami Keiko-san

our ambassador plenipotentiary,

who appealed for Mazaki sensei.

Bow!

Not yet.

5th Grade Tokyo trip group

gather at Hakodate ferry boat station

Keiko.

Sorry I can't see you off.

Take care.

Is the money enough?

Do you want more?

No.

Take this.

No, I don't need money.

You can go, father.

I told you I'm all right.

You'll be late for work.

Then take care.

People are watching.

Please take care of my girl.

Take care.

Enami-san.

There you are.

What's wrong?

Your eyes are red.

No, nothing's wrong.

Gee, we were worried.

Mazaki sensei came.

He overslept.

Sorry I'm late.

We have to take care of things,

do you understand, sensei?

Yes I know. Tie or hat

should not be crooked.

Sensei, time to gather.

Mazaki sensei.

I have a mother in-law

who is living in Tokyo.

You have? Then I should have

given this messy job to you.

Sensei, sensei, it's time.

I have no time. Bye.

My baby has diarrhoea.

That's too bad.

Sensei, sensei.

A student came to my compartment

and started to cry.

Is she still there?

She said, "I want to cry alone

for an hour. Please move away."

It's rather strange.

I'm sorry. Some students

are troublesome.

Conductor's compartment

Hey, don't cry.

What's wrong?

I'll get cross.

You'll spoil the enjoyment of

all the girls with your personal feelings.

It's because I have no mother.

My mother...

We're travelling.

No one has a mother here.

I don't mean that.

I'm talking of my own affairs.

Sensei can't understand.

If you cry for an hour,

conductor-san will be in trouble.

How could you cry so hard?

You've stopped crying.

Sensei, many things

came out in my head.

That's why I came here.

- I discovered something important.

- What is it?

When I cry the train

travels along my cry

and flies fast

like it's having fun.

You seem to

enjoy your crying.

I begin to feel that

I can do nothing wrong.

Shall I cry some more?

No, that's enough.

Octopus, tempura, red string.

Open up.

Don't joke.

Exhausted!

Let's have a bath.

Hey, don't do loose things.

Who says so?

Do you want to play riddles?

What is that, the more you eat

the more it increases?

Peanuts!

Then, what are 1,000

little boys playing tug-of-war?

I don't know.

- Do you know, sensei?

- I don't know.

Natto.

Your turn, sensei.

- I'm not good at this kind of thing.

- Sensei, whatever.

All right. Just one.

Scary, smelly, and delicious.

What is that?

You don't know?

I'll tell you. Listen.

An ogre, in a toilet,

eating daifuku cake.

Has sensei joined them?

I am tired, sensei.

I'm exhausted too.

Sensei, I'll give you a massage.

Oh, are you going to earn a point?

No.

Mazaki sensei, you have a visitor.

- A student's relative?

- She said Hashimoto-san.

I have no student

called Hashimoto.

Isn't it Hashimoto sensei.

Yes, she said

the mother of Hashimoto sensei.

Coming.

I wasn't particularly

asked by Sumi-san.

From her letters

which she sent me,

I guessed unnecessarily.

Hashimoto-san and I are

colleagues, nothing more than that.

Yes, sir. I know that very well.

And we are very different in nature.

She seems very cool as you see.

That originates from her giri

obligation to me, I believe.

Anyway,

the most important thing

is her own happiness.

That is, I wish her to be a good wife.

Anyway, I hope you will be a good

adviser for her for whatever.

I wanted to ask that,

so I visited you like this.

Well, Hashimoto-san

doesn't need my advice.

You are wrong, sir.

Woman, after all,

cannot do anything

easily alone.

Maybe it's too rude

to tell you this,

but frankly, we expect you

will be our kin in the future.

So, I wanted to see you

on this occasion.

I will consider carefully.

Haven't you gone to bed yet?

Leave her alone.

Our fun trip came to an end. Gee.

Do you know who is

the happiest person in the world?

You don't know?

A person wearing a heavy

wedding kimono, with tsunokakushi,

sitting in front of

a golden folding screen

getting a cup of sake

for their love.

I don't know.

Enami-san is trying

to avoid Mazaki sensei.

Camouflage.

I know.

What's wrong?

I feel sick.

Are you alright?

Are you very

tired out from your trip?

No, I was given two days leave.

Now I'm fine.

I see, very good.

I'm in a rush.

Thank you.

Sorry I kept you so long, sir.

Hashimoto-san has

many workshop guests.

She says she can't meet you now.

Alright, I won't disturb her.

Give her this.

Sensei, this is a present from him.

- Did he leave?

- Yes.

I think it's best to avoid him.

Why?

I heard from a senior that

during the school trip,

there was a rumour about

Mazaki sensei and Enami-san.

You knew, didn't you, sensei?

I won't distance myself from Mazaki

sensei because of such a rumour.

He has no strong beliefs,

he is an ordinary paternalist.

He's not like me.

That's why I tried to clear

his friendship with Mazaki sensei.

Sensei, are you mad for what I said?

- Why?

- But...

- No.

- Really? Great!

I like sensei for that.

Miyagawa-san.

Oosumi-san.

Mori-san.

Tashiro-san.

Enami-san.

Enami-san.

Absent.

Look, Enami-san is leaving.

These days, she's often absent.

Do you know why?

You don't know?

It's secret.

Wow, really?

It's a disgrace to the whole school.

You must rest in the infirmary.

I'm OK.

What's the matter?

Because Mazaki sensei

is in the room.

That's why I don't

want to go in. I'm scared.

Loose bowels? Are you alright?

Yes, thank you.

Actually, my reason is this.

I see.

Prohibited smoking tastes wonderful.

It can't be a haiku.

- Take one.

- No, I don't.

You look bad.

- Is it so painful?

- Yes.

My stomach is bad, but I have

a much more unpleasant matter.

What is it?

Recently I have heard frequent

rumours among the students.

You've heard about it,

haven't you?

Yes, thank you

for confiding in me.

As a matter of fact

I was quite worried about it.

I couldn't believe it,

so I ignored it.

- Is there any truth in it?

- No.

The rumour that Enami shows

a certain symptom in her body...

No kidding!

I don't know about

Enami's physical condition,

but I can say that the rumour

concerning me is total nonsense.

I can believe it.

I know you, I believe you.

But if it's not you...

I know it's not you.

Anyway, Enami is outrageous.

Outrageous indeed.

That's the end of it,

don't you think?

They say she has many boyfriends.

Do you know?

But, I wonder.

The doctor is out now.

Please wait a while.

Keiko-chan, did you

enjoy the school trip?

Yes.

I wish I was a schoolgirl again.

Which medicine can kill me

with the least pain.

There's no medicine

for an easy death.

You'd suffer more

than die of a disease.

Oh, the doctor's returned.

What's the matter?

Is something wrong?

Insomnia inherited from a parent?

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

Such a rumour came from

your excessive protection of Enami.

Can't you understand?

You are young.

The difficulty of being a teacher

in a female school lies there.

Enami-san, Tashiro-san.

Look at it that way way,

you must call them like this.

Enami-san. If you do it like that,

you'll get jealousy immediately.

This is a real nuisance.

Being young is not always good.

An old teacher like me

is much better.

The people make light of me

in the school though.

Mazaki sensei, a call

from the school doctor and...

Kei-chan.

Leave me!

How annoying!

Everyone suspects me!

Don't be silly.

If you don't clear the doubt,

I'll die!

Please, please.

I understand.

Please, please.

Don't worry.

Your friends doubt for nothing.

There's no need to cry.

I'll write the certificate for you.

Show it Mazaki sensei

and study hard.

- Kei-chan!

- No...

What are you doing?

It's a lie. A lie.

I can't show such

a fake certificate to anyone.

Hey, I know.

The doctor insults Keiko too.

- You made a fool of me.

- Don't.

She was so excited.

We gave her a sedative.

Thank you very much.

What did the doctor say?

He said, don't worry. Enami-san

has a certified clean body.

Please don't be concerned.

Sensei.

Oh, you were awake.

You exercise well, sensei.

But, sensei...

I thought you wouldn't

care for Keiko anymore.

Why not?

Because...

Sensei, do you know

the rumour going round school?

I thought you hated Keiko.

Yes, you are a troublesome student

whom I should hate.

But, according to rumours you felt

like vomiting sometimes, didn't you?

Yes, when I took

wine in the evening,

I felt ill the next day.

I see.

That's only natural.

Do you like alcohol?

No, I don't like it or hate it.

I wanted to try

my ability for many things.

To tell you the truth,

mama often forces me to drink.

That's not good.

Mama worries about me.

She worries that I'll get

disgusted with her life and leave her.

So she wants to make me exactly

like her, as quickly as possible.

You caught mama's feelings

and mentioned such things in school.

What did I say?

Well, that you are interested in men.

Did I say such a thing?

Yes, I said so, yes.

I wanted to know

the identity of my father through men.

And my mama, who forgets me.

I wanted to know if I can

forgive my disgusting mama.

That's not a healthy idea.

You try to escape your mother's life,

but on the contrary

are unconsciously interested in it.

That's not so good.

You must think of something

which deserves your fresh youthfulness.

Sensei can't understand.

Sensei.

Hashimoto sensei must hate me.

Why so?

Is your money order gone?

Did you lose it in the room?

If you can't find it,

what will you do?

Terrible.

It may seem a little severe,

but we must check the belongings

of all the students

to find the person

who stole the money order.

I agree.

We must thoroughly

scour the lodging house.

What do you think?

What is your opinion?

No one disagrees?

How about you?

I disagree.

Why do you disagree?

Do you disagree

for no particular reason?

No, sir.

For the students,

all of them are suspected.

I don't wish to give the young people

such a negative experience,

who are now at

the most developing age.

Not experience but training.

Can't you agree by thinking that?

I don't think such

distorted training is good.

Whether willing or not, our students will

be timid once they go out into the world,

I want to make them as positive

as possible in school at least.

Positive but easily broken,

that's not good.

Education is just like child's play

if there is no foundation for real life.

I don't believe education is to

adjust a person to the world as it is.

Rather, to motivate them

to influence the world as it should be.

- I can't agree with your idealism.

- Education is ideal.

Ideal but not formulaic.

- Formulaic means stereotype.

- Me?

Yes. It resulted so.

You are evaluating me

especially personally today.

Let's leave it.

Aside from your debate,

what shall we do for the present issue?

Listen, our rooms

have been ransacked.

- A thief again?

- No.

The teachers are

inspecting our belongings.

It's not fair.

To Enami Kyoko-dono

Medical certificate enclosed

Yukiko-san,

As shown in the attached certificate,

Keiko's suspicion was cleared

and I am fine.

I report this for

the gratitude of your friendship.

From a revived bird,

Keiko

Did you find it?

What is it?

- Nothing.

- What are you hiding?

I'm not.

Why are you so noisy?

- I think it's wrong.

- What is?

Are you saying

to stop the inspection?

Do you think you can

solve this problem?

Yes!

We want to solve the problem

through our student's association.

Are you confident?

To tell you the truth,

we concerned teachers discussed it.

Hashimoto sensei insisted on leaving it

to the student's association.

I opposed her.

The responsibility is all mine.

You shouldn't disclose

the details of our discussion.

I withdrew my opinion

and followed the general view.

I told them where

the responsibility lies.

It's of no use now.

I don't like to be

protected by others.

- I'm not protecting you.

- No, whatever you are...

We've found who took it!

Who?

Gather in the dining room.

Who took it?

The owner of the money order.

She put it between her

dictionary pages and forgot it.

We found it in the dictionary.

Good.

I think the problem is to doubt,

not to be doubted.

A narrow escape.

There is a saying, straighten

the horns and kill the cow.

But I can't trust

old morals or sayings

which were created

in the old world.

- Are you still obsessed?

- You are a coward.

If you blame me why didn't

you blame me all the way?

You are insinuating.

- Am I?

- Yes.

Then, I'll speak out.

In short, you hate old things.

For instance, a female student

who came from a country village

was influenced by city life,

began to be ashamed

to introduce

her old, simple and

honest parents, full of wrinkles.

I feel such shallowness is inherent

in the way you hate old things.

What can I do

in order to be liked by you?

But your observation is perfect.

You never watch your feet,

but dream of life in higher dimensions.

Your body is looking for something

which is standing right here,

that is smaller

and lower than you think.

You've been very frank with me.

You asked me to speak clearly,

nevertheless, when I speak frankly,

you seem offended.

Look.

The students have already recovered.

How joyfully they sing.

They look so cheerful.

You also look

cheerful and beautiful.

Crooked again?

You can't stand it.

A sad nature.

Over the mountains, far to travel

People say, happiness dwells.

[Uber den Bergen: Carl Busse]

Well, what was it after that?

Do you remember?

Oh, and I went

in the crowd of others,

Oh, and I went in the crowd of others,

and returned with a tear-stained face.

Over the mountains, far to travel,

people say, Happiness dwells.

Over the mountains, far to travel,

people say, Happiness dwells.

Mazaki sensei.

I thought...

you were fond of me.

And yet...

And yet,

why am I so argumentative?

Why can't I be an honest woman?

My mother...

my deceased mother said,

"someday, you will..."

What's the matter?

What are you doing here

at this hour?

Nothing.

If something is bothering you,

tell me.

You'll feel better

if you speak out about it.

Come.

You are just like a baby.

I wanted to touch

someone's warm heart.

You can cry

as much as you want.

At your age,

with your heart so full,

you can't wait to reach

your mother's lap to shed your tears.

Manage with my lap,

you can cry as much as you want.

When I go home,

my mama is not mine alone.

I don't want to go home.

Sensei,

in this world,

is there no happiness

for a woman being alone?

Sensei.

Obasan, it's started snowing.

Yes, so it has.

Are you going back to your home town

for the winter holidays.

I don't know. There are many

family members. I can't study at home.

But you are fortunate,

having such a happy family.

A power failure?

Oh, no.

Obasan, I have

a candle in the desk drawer.

You have?

The right side.

- Did you find it?

- Yes.

Thank you.

Maybe it's better to sleep.

What a terrible wind.

What is it?

What's wrong at this hour?

Tell me.

What is it?

Nothing.

- What's the matter?

- Obasan, look after her.

She's so strange.

Please.

Where are you going?

Mama.

What are you saying?

I don't know Keiko.

No, I don't know Keiko.

Hey, hold on.

The teacher is visiting.

What? Teacher?

Tell me so I can understand.

Maybe Keiko

fell in the sea and drowned.

I told her so.

I told her

"To hell with you!"

Keiko despises me,

her own mother.

I told her: "go in

the sea and drown yourself"

As a matter of fact, right?

Drop dead, Keiko.

What's the matter at this hour?

Will you let Enami

stay tonight at your place?

Did Enami do something?

She quarrelled with her mother.

She had no place to go, so came to me.

She is staying at your place now?

I don't want her

to return to such a mother.

Your place is no good, of course.

Alright. I'll let her stay with me.

I'll come for her soon.

Please. I'll wait at home.

Enami-kun...

wake up.

Wake up.

Let's go.

Where to?

- To Hashimoto sensei.

- I don't want to.

But you can't stay here.

No, I don't want to go.

You can't stay here.

What would people say?

Sensei, are you afraid of people?

- You are afraid of the school.

- Fool.

It's your problem too.

Don't talk nonsense.

- Let's go.

- No!

I don't want to go

to Hashimoto sensei.

What's the matter?

Come with me.

I hate Mazaki sensei!

Enami-san.

Enami-san.

Sensei, where are you going

to take me to?

- Come to my place.

- No, I'm going home.

Leave me alone.

No, you can't.

Mazaki sensei

left you in my care.

Mazaki sensei still cares

for me like that? How strange.

I have a responsibility

to take care of you.

That's none of my business.

Do you hate me so much?

I hate you!

You like Mazaki sensei, don't you?

No, I hate him.

I detest him.

I'll go home.

I'll apologize to mama. I'll tell mama,

I'm sorry for despising you.

I'll say I'll be a woman like mama.

No, you mustn't become

such a corrupt woman.

Sensei, do you insult my mama?

I feel sorry for mama.

I know the people in the world

despise mama and me.

I'm going home.

Enami-san.

Wait.

Wait!

Don't go back home.

Leave me alone.

I'm going home.

Enami-san, let's go back

to Mazaki sensei.

No, I'm going home.

No.

See this watch,

wait for me for 10 minutes.

I'll ask Mazaki sensei about you.

Wait for me, please.

Please.

Stay there, alright?

Is Mazaki sensei there?

- Didn't you meet him?

- He went out?

Yes.

How is it?

Enami can't do without you.

With my own idea

I was taking her nowhere.

I was wrong.

Are you suggesting I marry her?

Are you saying it from the heart?

Or from a sudden impulse?

What do you really think?

You must know well.

But...

if I follow my real feelings

it's too pitiful for her.

Yes, she has become

distorted by the world.

Pitiful girl.

Hashimoto-san,

don't misunderstand me.

This is a teacher's love,

a teacher's duty.

I'll tell you honestly.

Thanks to you,

I've escaped from the disaster

of falling in love with her dark beauty.

Thanks to you

I have saved myself.
