Just seeing the happy smiles on the faces of the people who come to have their matchmaking photos, wedding photos, and Shichi-Go-San photos taken makes him happy too. Such a man. He has five children with Michiko ( Hitomi Kuroki ), who eloped from Osaka. And a sixth child was on the way. In June 1944, after the Japanese troops in Saipan were crushed and the landing of U.S. troops in Okinawa became a reality, a dark shadow crept over the happy family. Noboru ( Ryo Katsuji ), the second son, volunteers to become a radio operator, Mie ( Aya Ueto ), the eldest daughter, is sent to a field hospital as a military nurse, and the father, now 47 years old, receives a call-up order. The father, now 47 years old, also receives a call-up order. The mother evacuates with her young children. The night before the family was to be separated, my father gathered the family together.
