Sodo and Unzu can be considered as the agents corrupted, commercialized society. so, when these two villages appear in the play, the play starts to take a different turn, with the influence of Sodo and Unzu on Yohyo and gradually the marriage life of Tsu and Yohyo crumbles and falls apart. thus, when the two gets their hands on Yohyo, they manipulates him according to their wishes. they illustrates dreamworlds of Kyoto and money and eventually corrupt his mind with desire and lust for money.
"what? hundreds of dollars? really! you say hundreds of..."
Sodo and Unzu allures Yohyo's lust for money by suggesting that he can earn more from "senba ori". his greed awakens and eventually he tunes in to one of the commercialized and industrialized world. thus, the influence of Sodo and Unzu brings lust and desire for money so that, Yohyo is totally blinded by their manipulation. alike Sodo and Unzu, suddenly money has become a treasure and happiness for Yohyo. so he is eager to obtain more of these "money" by any means. thus, he suggests the idea to Tsu but she vehemently refuses. but then his tone his tone changes, bringing it a more stern and commanding voice.
" weave the stuff right away! i'll go to Kyoto..."
Yohyo's tone has become unforgiving and harsh. he commands his wife to supply him with "senba ori". here, Yohyo has experienced a vast change of attitudes as a result of the influence of money oriented, commercialized villages. he too has become money oriented so that he doesn't care for Tsu and her opinions and doesn't respect her boundaries. Yohyo is not anymore the same fun loving person he was at the beginning of the play. thus, Kinoshita is criticizing this negative impact of commercialization on uncorrupted and innocent lives. as consequence of his greed and lust for money, Yohyo threatens to leave Tsu unless she weave "senba ori".
"weave the cloth. if you say you can't, i'll leave you! ..."
Yohyo declares his final decision to leave Tsu if she doesn't meet and abide by his conditions. Tsu is Quite shocked and pained to see her husband's sudden transformation.
"my dear... darling.... how.... how could you say such a thing?..."
Tsu cannot believe her own ears and she stutters in her words. before he met and was manipulated by Unzu and Sodo, Yohyo was very innocent and kind. thus, Tsu did not expect such harsh terms from Yohyo and she is shocked and quite upset over Yohyo's sudden transformation. gradually, Yohyo's greed for money becomes more intense. Tsu could never understand the urban, corrupted people, so she acted indifferently in front of them. this is because she belongs to the nature with it's goodness and kindness. thus, when Yohyo's lust for money trespasses the boundaries of Tsu's world, she remarks that she cannot comprehend his words.
"i could see your lips moving and hear the sound of voices. but i couldn't understand what you were saying!... good gracious you have also begun to speak their language. the words..."
here, Tsu openly admits that her language is different from that of corrupted and polluted people and that Yohyo's voice has too become one which she cannot comprehend.
in that way, their whole marriage life and love, affection shared buy them falls apart at the face pf Sodo and Unzu's evil strategies. they manipulate Yohyo and awakens his lust for money.
on the other hand Yohyo and Tsu's relationship is not built on mutual understanding but gratitude and kindness. Tsu comes to be Yohyo's wife and help him because he saved her life. thus, her actions are based on kindness and compassion and also sympathy. their relationship is not deep rooted or has any real feelings for each other. the play does not present mature conversations between them but playing with children and their eagerness for it.
in short, tsu and Yohyo's relationship is fabricated around immature and child like innocent feelings found in each other. because of their innocence Yohyo comes to be an easy target for the money oriented and corrupted villagers. thus, with the gradual transformation of Yohyo their married life crumbles and falls apart leaving Yohyo and Tsu to part their ways with pain. in this way the playwright illustrates now the innocence and goodness is lost at the influence of negative and evil forces of the corrupted society. they are provoked and allured by these evil forces and ultimately loses their innocence, purity and good and kindheartedness.
