意地は魚の骨みたいに刺さる。

抜けたら、腹の底から笑える。

Pride sticks in you like a fishbone.

【あらすじ】

江戸時代・大坂天神橋。隣同士で同じ魚屋を構える兄・一郎と弟・次郎は、水と油の犬猿。次郎は「母を死なせたのは兄だ」と信じ、顔を合わせれば喧嘩ばかり。そんな確執は、娘・お小夜の恋にまで影を落とす。

折しも天神橋界隈は修復工事で立ち退きが決まり、暮らしも商いも揺れはじめる。そこへ舞い込む縁談話がさらに火種となり、若旦那・春吉は「親同士が仲が悪ければ暖簾が傷つく」と身を引いてしまう。娘の涙に初めて胸を刺された次郎は、長年閉ざしていた“兄の家の敷居”をまたぐ。

意地、誤解、毒舌の応酬——その奥に、母が遺した一通が静かに真実を照らす。失ったと思っていたものの先に、兄弟が見つける「幸せ」とは。

Edo-period Osaka, Tenjinbashi. Two fishmongers run side-by-side shops with the same name—older brother Ichirō and younger brother Jirō—locked in a feud as stubborn as oil and water. Jirō is convinced his brother “killed their mother,” and every encounter turns into a fight. That bitterness even spills into the love life of Jirō’s daughter, Osayo.

Just then, the Tenjinbashi district is ordered to relocate for bridge repairs, and both livelihood and home begin to shake. A marriage arrangement becomes the next spark: the young merchant Harukichi steps back, saying that if the parents remain at war, the shop’s noren (reputation) will be stained. For the first time, Osayo’s tears pierce Jirō’s pride—and he crosses the threshold of his brother’s house, long avoided.

Stubbornness, misunderstandings, sharp tongues—until a single letter left behind by their mother quietly brings the truth into view. Beyond what they thought was lost, what “happiness” can two brothers still find?
