Quotes 

• Osada, the sewing mistress : You can dream only when you're young. But all their fevered crushes will be wasted.

• Osada, the sewing mistress : It's difficult for a woman to support herself. Oshige struggled a great deal to make ends meet. But I recently heard she's become a streetwalker by the Yanagiwara bank.

  Otama : So you're saying I should continue to live like this? You're saying I have no other choice but to live this way?
