Sayuris Mother In-Law

After Kusakabe Akihiko's wife cheats on him, she eventually runs away. Upon learning of this, Sayuri, Akihiko's mother-in-law, comes to him to apologise, convinced that this is all happening because the blood of prostitutes runs in their veins. When she was young, Sayuri had been tricked by a man and became pregnant. In order to support herself and her daughter, she worked as a call-girl.
