Obasan Chapter 6 Summary

  • Naomi is dreaming.
  • There are no words. A man and a woman appear, then another man and woman. They are in a forest full of mist.
  • There is a tall thin man. He's in charge, and he doesn't seem too nice. They all work at clearing the forest but no one knows why they have to do it.
  • A lion dog (remember this is a dream) that belongs to the man in charge appears and yawns. Naomi looks inside its mouth (who does that?) and realizes that it's a robot. This changes everything. That's what Naomi says, anyway.
  • Now Uncle is in the dream. He is doing a ritual flower dance. Then the dream is over.
  • Yeah, we don't know what that was about either, but you might as well get used to it. There's a lot more dreams where that came from and they just get weirder from here on out.
  • It's the day after Naomi's Uncle died. Obasan is already up and cleaning things in the kitchen. Then we notice that there's a package on the kitchen table. It's for Naomi, from Aunt Emily. We guess Obasan finally found that thing she was looking for.
