Scarlet Week 13 “A Dish Full of Love”

Summer of 1965: Kimiko has a four-year-old son named Takeshi with Hachiro. While Hachiro devoted himself to creating his works of art, Kimiko supported the family by making tableware. Joji’s health is failing, and he doesn’t have much time left. Kimiko vows to be a pillar of strength for him. To encourage Joji, the family painted a plate together. They filled it with the carefully prepared matsutake rice made by Shinsaku and the others. Even after Joji passed away, Kimiko remained strong. Amidst this, George Fujikawa appeared.
