When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。北宋年间，毕升因写得一手好字，被杭州"播文堂"雕板作坊的大商贾皮子龙所赏识，聘请为作坊的写字先生。毕升临行之际，他的养父、老师乡间教书先生谢清之，将花了大半辈子心血写下的《汜胜之农书篡补》书稿托交给他，要他将其刻梓行世，毕升告别了老师和未婚妻阿香，随皮子龙来到杭州。毕升在播文堂当书写手年复一年，虽历经各种艰难，饱尝了封建权势的侮辱与歧视，《农书》仍无钱刻印。他向技艺高强的老雕匠陈大亮拜师学艺，立志自己刻版印书。在长期的实践中，他深切体会到雕匠劳动的艰苦。师傅陈大亮一辈子刻版积劳成疾，最后因背驼眼瞎辞退。师傅的遭遇，促使毕升产生了改革这项工艺的决心。他大胆实践，首创了活字印刷术。皮子龙意识到这项工艺的革新有利于他发财致富，极力支持毕升的发明，并将毕升岳父和未婚妻阿香接到杭州，为他们举办婚礼，以便使毕升能为播文堂尽心尽力。国子监提举王天书是皮子龙的侄子，...。
