Family Affairs — The Book of Good Evenings (1954)
Tonii is an aspiring world-class inventor who has sold off his parents’ estate and mansion and was now continuing his research in a shed tucked away in a corner of the spacious garden. Because a deafening roar echoed from inside the shed every day, the current owner of the estate, the wealthy Ginzo Kaneda, demanded that he vacate the premises.
