What is the arrow like thing the children were carrying at the end of the movie?
This is called “Ai Ai Gasa” (Love Love Umbrella, or Together Umbrella), the Japanese equivalent of a heart with names in it. It symbolizes an umbrella, and under the triangle (umbrella), you would write the names of a boy and a girl on either side of the vertical line. Earlier in the movie, in one of her flashback scenes, you can see this symbol. Taeko was told that her name was written under an Ai Ai Gasa with Hirota’s name. So the children carrying this symbol over the heads of Taeko and Toshio in the last scene implies that these two are now an “item”.
