Chieko Sono

Natsuko Kayama, an authority in the beauty industry and once known as Miss Tokyo, is a first-class wife. Her husband, Senkichi, on the contrary, is a good-natured man and slow-witted. They are rarely seen together, and others often criticize them for being too boring and uninteresting.

The unfortunate Sumiko is sent from place to place: to live with her alcoholic uncle, then sold to the circus, then adopted by a wealthy family, and finally sent to a Christian orphanage.
