- jzelinskie 12y agoThere is an anime about her very situation. It's called 花咲くいろは (Hanasaku Iroha). It's pretty interesting if you don't have any familiarity with traditional Japanese inns. Be warned: PA Works (the studio that created it) likes drama!

- listic 12y agoA nice look into how it might feel to be connected to a tradition many generations old. Must feel suffocating.
- bojo 12y agoSadly, even though she may show signs of not intending to continue the tradition, familial and societal pressure will force her to marry someone willing to take on the family name and carry on in the capacity of the owner and head of household. The history and prestige behind a 1,300 year old ryokan will outweigh a daughter's feelings about her marriage and future life.
- zaphar 12y agoStrangely a comment by the filmographer indicates that not only is she not being forced to marry someone but in fact the father has decided that the best thing for the Hotel is to appoint his daughter as a successor.
