The Ichijo family clings to outdated Showa-era values: men work, and women protect the home. They are a prestigious enterprise passed down since the Meiji era, standing at the top of the financial world, with many servants and a sprawling Japanese-style mansion.
At breakfast time, Kazumasa sits at the table while Yoshiko sets out the meal.

Yuichi
Eats his breakfast, acting as if it has nothing to do with him.
