00:01:58 Underneath, if fabric flower bloomed,

00:02:18 It's not for you

00:04:31 Here, that dream is made for others.

00:07:08 Nishijin is a rectangular neighborhood,

00:08:32 To live is to struggle against nature's hostility.

00:10:32 Discover your unique charms.

00:11:05 ...the obi is Nishijin...

00:11:34 ...in the future, even more modernization of hand weaving...

00:12:34 After two days, my pockets are empty again.

00:14:53 Protect history, protect Nishijin.

00:17:08 We must choose a path.

00:17:42 In my body there is a wicked nail I cannot see, lodged deep.

00:19:36 Thank you for coming.

00:21:32 Children never walk the same road twice.

00:21:58 ...a real dilemma...

00:22:17 ...pay can be low, as long as morale is up...

00:22:45 ”Nishijin Weavers Labor Union”

00:23:00 ...I want to choose which factory I work in...

00:23:16 ...all up to the bosses...

00:23:31 ...that's a load of bull...

00:24:24 It's not for you that this rain falls.
