A period story that evokes the world of Yosa Buson and draws a faint supernatural presence from the pairing of plum blossoms and bush warblers. It is a quiet short story where seasonal feeling overlaps with the unseen.
Behind the signs of spring, the shadows of Edo lives and spirits briefly rise into view.
