Kip. 88: Osechi and Bride

88

A heya's yobidashi, Oyakata, asks President Ohara to choose an appropriate bride for sumo wrestler Wakayoshiba from three candidates. Ohara suggests that they each prepare osechi dishes to determine the best potential wife. Meanwhile, Sumiko Senkichi, daughter of the heya's former yobidashi, is fond of Wakayoshiba and gets help from Yamaoka to prepare sweet kuromame (black soybean) for her own osechi. The three candidates present their extravagant osechi but Wakayoshiba prefers the home-made version by Sumiko and asks Oyakata if he can marry her. He refuses, but his wife insists that Sumiko and Wakayoshiba are right for each other and she forces him to sanction their marriage. (Source: Wikipedia)
