Your Name - Kimino Naha

A drama series written by Kikuta Kazuo. It was broadcast on NHK Radio from 1952 to 1954. Atomiya Haruki and Ujiie Machiko, who met for the first time at Sukiyabashi in Ginza during the Great Tokyo Air Raids, parted ways without telling each other their names, promising to meet again. However, when they met again after the war, Machiko had already married another man. The story is a melodrama about the tragic love that follows the pair's subsequent misunderstandings, and was so popular that it was said that the women's baths at public baths were completely empty when it was broadcast. It was made into a film in 1953, directed by Oba Hideo and starring Sada Keiji and Kishi Keiko, and became a huge hit. Parts two and three were made, all of which were box office successes. The long shawl that Kishi Keiko wore around her head and neck became a huge hit at the time, and was known as the "Machiko wrap." Even today, the monument remains in the small park at the site of the former Sukiyabashi Bridge.

菊田一夫(かずお)作の連続放送劇。1952年（昭和27）から54年にかけてNHKラジオで放送された。東京大空襲下の銀座数寄屋橋(すきやばし)で初めて知り合った後宮春樹(あとみやはるき)と氏家(うじいえ)真知子は名前も告げずに再会を約して別れるが、戦後に2人が会ったとき、真知子はすでに他の男と結婚することになっていた。物語はその後の2人がたどる「すれ違い」の悲恋メロドラマで、放送時には銭湯の女風呂(ぶろ)ががら空きになるといわれるほど人気があった。53年に大庭(おおば)秀雄監督、佐田啓二・岸恵子主演で映画化されて大ヒットとなり、2部、3部と製作、いずれも興行的に大成功を収めた。岸恵子が頭から首にかけて巻いた長いストールが「真知子巻き」として当時大流行した。今日も数寄屋橋跡の小公園には記念碑が残っている。
