Ginnikan Ep 8: Drama Notes
Ep. 8 "I have been chasing the past"
Episode Synopsis.
Matsukichi had come back to Ikawaya after finally creating a firmer agar, thus fulfilling his promises to Maho and to her father's memory. The new agar had also brought even more profit to Ikawaya, also partly due to Wasuke's crafty business acumen. Now that things seem better, Umekichi finally leaves Ikawaya to take over the Yamshiroya couple's shop, and have a family of his own. Osaki too has finally accepted that Matsukichi is not meant for her and decides to move on... Hanbee who was being threatened by someone from his former employment, had been forced to close his agar production site in his village. Accepting a donation of ginnikan from Ikawaya, he had set off to find good quality seaweed, and a place to build a new agar factory... Meanwhile, as promised, Maho and Matsukichi continue to not see each other. Moreover, Ohiro's sickness has been getting worse... Then one day, a man came to Ikawaya. He asks to see "Tsurunosuke", and introduces himself as Tatebe Genbu, the samurai who killed Matsukichi's father many years ago. Wasuke reminds Genbu that he had already sold off his revenge for the amount of gin 2 kan, and had promised to not come near Matsukichi again. However... "The revenge..." Genbu says, "is not worth as much..."
