GROWING UP WITH OSHIN & PRINCESS ATSU
March 17, 2021Hello. Hari ini kita review sikit cerita yang paling saya suka dan sangat memberi kesan dalam hidup saya sedari dari kecil.
Saya bukanlah penggemar cerita drama Jepun pada awalnya. Kalau kartun dan filem hantu tu saya layan. Namun, kedua drama ini mendapat tempat dihati saya sejak saya kecil. Awalnya parent yang selalu menonton drama Oshin. Selepas beberapa tahun, berjangkit pula dengan saya apabila drama ini diulang tayang.
Parent memang mengalakkan anak-anak menonton drama Oshin ini kerana banyak pengajaran. Biasalah jika ada babak romantik. Saya sangat ship Oshin dengan lelaki yang meminatinya namun jodoh Oshin berbeza. Malangnya suaminya pula meninggal semasa perang.
Oshin wanita yang bijak dan serba boleh. Sopan santun, rajin bekerja, pandai berniaga, tabah, setia pada satu cinta, cantik... sempurnalah diri dia. Nama pelakon, Yuko Tanaka. Bukan bedak Tanaka yang pernah popular tu hehehe
Masa berlalu dengan cepat. Oshin sudah berusia 29 tahun. Daripada Oshin kanak-kanak sampailah tua. Pandai pengarah cari rupa pelakon yang hampir sama. Saya hampir tertipu dulu. Terfikir, pengarah ni tunggu Oshin berinjak umur daripada kanak-kanak, anak dara dan tua dulu ke baru sambung balik pengambaran? LOL
Lagu dia memang sedap. Saya tidak pernah bosan menonton berulang kali. Oh ya, ini sedikit penerangan tetang drama Oshin.
The story starts in 1983. Instead of attending the opening festivities of the 17th store, Oshin Tanokura decides to go on a train trip. Her family is in frenzy, not knowing where she disappeared to. Oshin's grandson, Kei, remembers the story of the kokeshi doll she once told him. Based on a hunch from the story, he goes on a trip of his own and catches up with Oshin. From there, the two of them begin a journey back in time, traveling through various parts of Japan including where she once lived years earlier, and starts remembering the difficult times that she faced in her life.
In 1907, seven-year-old Oshin was sent off by her father to work as a babysitter to support her family. Her boss was a timber trader. Despite the physical and verbal abuse from the chief servant at the timber trader's household, Oshin insisted on enduring it for the sake of her family. A sympathetic local teacher persuades the timber trader to allow Oshin to attend elementary school. However, Oshin's classmates bully her and threaten to harm her ward. Oshin reluctantly stops going to school. However, when she is unjustly accused of stealing money, she runs away, and for days suffers through blizzards as she walked back home to be with her mother. The blizzard is so rough on her that she nearly freezes to death. Sambungan... [Klik]
Satu lagi drama Princess Atsu. Sebenarnya secara tidak sengaja tengok iklan di TV Hijrah. Tengok Atsu ada iras-iras Oshin (sebab rambut kot) Saya terus set jam nak tengok kisah remaja itu sehinggalah Atsu berkhawin dengan lelaki kaya. Budi bahasa dia yang buat saya kagum. Dia mempunyai sifat kepimpinan, Tapi macam cerita Oshin lah pula, Suami dia mati muda. Sayangnya tak ada anak pula! Pewaris bukan darah daging dia. [sambungan]
Masa ni Atsu belum khawin. Dia suka baca buku. Perkara yang bukan kebiasaan bagi anak dara Jepun ketika itu. Selalunya gadis seperti mereka fokus pada hal pengurusan rumah. Persediaan sebelum khawin. |
Tenshōin was born in Kagoshima in 1835. In 1853, she became the adopted daughter of Shimazu Nariakira. On August 21, 1853, she travelled by land from Kagoshima via Kokura to the Edo jurisdiction, never to return to Kagoshima again.
Atsuko was thought to be sent to Edo castle with the aim of helping Shimazu Nariakira politically. The question of the next heir to the Shogunate was divided between the choice of Tokugawa Yoshinobu, then head of the Hitotsubashi-Tokugawa house and Tokugawa Yoshitomi, then head of Kii-Tokugawa house and later known as Tokugawa Iemochi. In order to ensure that Yoshinobu becomes the next in succession, Atsuko was arranged to wed into the Tokugawa clan.
In November, 1856, Atsuko married Tokugawa Iesada. In 1858, both Tokugawa Iesada and Shimazu Nariakira died. The 14th shogun was decided to be Tokugawa Iemochi. Following the demise of her husband, Atsuko took the tonsure, becoming a Buddhist nun, and took the name Tenshōin. In 1862, as part of the Kōbu Gattai ("Union of Court and Bakufu") movement, Iemochi was married to Imperial Princess Kazu-no-Miya Chikako daughter of Emperor Ninkō, and younger sister of Emperor Kōmei. The Satsuma clan brought up the request for Tenshōin to return to Satsuma, but was rejected by Tenshōin herself. In 1866, Iemochi died. Tokugawa Yoshinobu became the next shogun. During the Meiji Restoration, Tenshōin and Seikan'in (Kazu-no-Miya's name after tonsure) helped negotiate for the peaceful surrender of Edo Castle.
She spent her remaining years nurturing Tokugawa Iesato, the 16th head of the Tokugawa clan. In 1883, she died in Edo at the age of 48. She was buried in Kaneiji in Ueno, Tokyo, together with her husband, Iesada.
Kawan baik dia alias pengawal sukakan Atsu tapi sudah terlambat. Atsu diambil menjadi anak angkat orang kaya. Kemudian dijodohkan dengan lelaki berpangkat syogun. Kawan Atsu berkhawin lain namun cintanya tetap buat Atsu. Romantiknya tapi kesian isteri dia. Cerita sedih lagi. :(
p/s: Sebab suka sangat dengan cerita Atsu, saya ambil nama Tension dan masukkan dalam novel. hehe
