ロシーノの仕立て屋ジョニーは、そろそろ浴衣の仕立てに取り掛かっています。
ジョニーはなんだかブツブツ言っていますね。
Roshino’s kimono tailor Johnny starts working on yukata for coming hot seasons.
But it looks like Johnny is muttering something.
「秋水にいちゃんの見立ては、かぶきってのが全く分かってねぇよ」
と言いながら、せっせと針を動かすジョニー。
ジョニーのお兄ちゃんの秋水は、ジョニーが働く仕立て屋「こまや」店主の付き人なので
ジョニーは逆らえないのです。
“My brother Shusui, he doesn’t quite understand what ‘kabuki’ is!”
Johnny complains and continues to ply his needles.
Johnny’s brother, Shusui, works as a manager for the owner of Komaya, where
Johnny works so Johnny cannot go against Shusui.
地味だと文句を言っていたジョニーですが
仕立て上げてみたら、満更でもないみたいです。
下駄やバッグも用意し、これから納品です。
Johnny was not happy about these works since they are plain and simple,
not gorgeous type that Johnny likes but once he finished his work he looks pleased with them.
He also prepared geta shoes and bags and now is going to deliver goods to Shusui.
検討する姿がソックリです。
似ていないですが、やっぱり兄弟。
Shusui and Johnny came to an exhibition to check
Japanese geta sandals they are going to sell at Komaya.
They pose exactly the same when they consider something.
They don’t look alike but they are brothers, in deed.
