A Son of the Good Earth

Father and Son (1x9)

Air date: Mar 11, 1996

Riku Isshin cannot forgive Matsumoto Koji and suffers from the fact that the person in charge of the Japanese side is his own father. As the construction of the steel plant comes to an end, Isshin comes back to Japan to inspect the power distribution equipment. He visits Koji's house, violating the rule that prohibits him from going out alone without permission. Father was living alone and lonely in a small company housing. He showed a picture of his mother and his sisters' Buddhist mortuary tablet, and Isshin felt a sense of "family" that is no longer there. However, while out of the house, Isshin's confidential documents are stolen.
