Taro Yashima; Kiyoshi
Synopsis:
Taro Yashima visits Kiyoshi, who lives alone on a mountain, caretaking an orange orchard. He left his home and his family because sharecroppers only sank deeper into debt. He wanted to go the city, work for wages, and gain knowledge, but constantly had to spend his savings to help his mother, brother, and sister. To Taro Yashima, Kiyoshi seems to be a saint. As autumn draws on he promises to find someone who can get Kiyoshi a factory job, and hurries home.
