Ichiro Hatamoto, as explained, was in madly in love with Natsue, which was indicated when in his notebook was nothing but drawings of Natsue. But Gozo had repeatedly said no when he asked him if he could marry her, and kept mistreating Ichiro afterwards; this specific time, Gozo's taunts were directed to Ichiro himself, threatening to not support his college career as a promising artist, and calling him a failure to the Hatamoto family. | Ichiro Hatamoto, as explained, was in madly in love with Natsue, which was indicated when in his notebook was nothing but drawings of Natsue.

Ichiro's own parents Mariko and Kitaro actually were first cousins and in love ever since they were teenagers; 25 years ago they did manage to get Gozo's approval for their marriage, but it actually took them lots of time and much pleading with the old man. Therefore, Gozo was horrified when he saw that the grandson he looked down on was developing feelings for his favorite granddaughter, whom he also had appointed as his only heir. |
