Special low-priced edition to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Yuzo Kawashima's birth! --At the end of the Meiji era (1868-1912), Tokichi Sadoshima (Ryutaro Tatsumi), a single-minded young man known as "Tayan of Benguet" who had been working on the Benguet road in the Philippines, returns to his hometown of Tennoji, Osaka, with a rickshaw and a furoshiki wrapping cloth in a back row house. When he hears that Otsuru (Yoko Minamida), with whom he had an affair the night before the ship's departure, is having a hard time with Hatsue, who is now 4 years old, Tokichi decides to help her at her night stall instead. Eventually, Otsuru suddenly fell ill and passed away. Twenty years later, Hatsue has grown up to be a fine woman and married a young man named Shintaro, thanks to Tokichi's diligence. However, the newlywed couple's house caught fire and burned down, and Shintaro was sent to the Philippines to work as a laborer. One day, Shintaro died while protecting Hatsue, who was heavily burdened, from the news of his death. Hatsue dies of shock and resentment toward her father. With his orphaned daughter, Kimie, in his hand, he continues to hold on to the kaji stick. Although he is perplexed by the surrounding causes and effects, he is so moved by the joy of raising Kimie (played by Yoko Minamida in a dual role) that his work astonishes his neighbors....
