Notes
- The English translation of the series' name is Matrilineal Family. The background of this series verifies the translation. The Yajima family name has been carried over for five generations through the female side. Yoshizo married into the Yajima family. When his wife passed away, he retained a brother-in-law status within the family. So that he wouldn't lose control of his inheritence, he was not allowed to re-marry, which is why he instead chose to have a mistress (Fumino) instead. Also, Ryokichi married into the Yajima family by way of Chizu. Because he is the first male to enter the immediate family, he is entitled to become president of the Yajima corporation.
- Matrilineal families are very uncommon in western society, but is somewhat common in Eastern Asia. This is necessary in the situation where a rich family consists only of daughters.
