Mr. Oshira : There are lovely teahouses in the big cities, but the men of Tobiki have never been inside them. We are too poor. All of my life I have dreamed of visiting a teahouse where paper lanterns cast a light in the lotus pond, and the bamboo bells hanging in the pines tinkle as the breezes brush them. But this picture is only in my heart. I may never see it. I am an old man, sir. I shall die soon. It is evil for the soul to depart this world laden with envy or regret. Give us our teahouse, sir. Free my soul for death.
