I Love You So Much(1988)

The Sagami family has been running an Edo-style woodworking shop in downtown Tokyo for generations. The head of the family, Bunzo (Kunie Tanaka), has received official recognition for his craftsmanship, but business remains modest. He lives with his wife, Sumiko (Masumi Harukawa), their divorced eldest daughter, Naomi (Rino Katase), and their heir, Seiichi (Hiroyuki Sanada). One day, Seiichi tells his parents that he has someone he wants them to meet—his former junior in school, Yuko Ogata (Anna Nakagawa). Yuko admires traditional woodworking and dreams of marrying into the trade. Stunned yet delighted, Bunzo and Sumiko are thrown into a whirlwind of emotions. The next day, Yuko arrives at the Sagami home, setting the stage for an unexpected turn of events.
