Seibei Iguchi leads a life as being a low ranking samurai at the turn of the nineteenth century. A widower with a more substantial revenue struggles to look after both daughters and senile mother. New prospects appear to open when the exquisite Tomoe, a childhood friend, comes straight back in he and his daughters' lifetime, but since the Western feudal system unravels, Seibei remains bound by the code of honour of the samurai and by their or her own awareness of social precedence. Just how can he look for a way to accomplish what's better for those he loves?
