My tears dropped when seeing Tomoe waiting for his return. Absolutely heart-wrenching drama about poor samurai who contented with what he had. Can't help seeing its resemblance with Harakiri (1962). Maybe it got inspired by some of it.
Good read, some well researched too. In my country Indonesia, middle school only wear blue shorts and white shirts all country with some variation on days in week. While high school wear grey trousers and white shirts. I find diversity in other Asian countries to be more colorful and fun. Cheers!
