A courtesan named Toki appears in this work directed by Kai. She left her village at a young age and chose the path of becoming a geisha. She once had a fiancé named Masaharu, and the two dreamed of marrying one another in the future. However, due to a famine in their village, they were forced to separate. With no other options, Toki continued living as a geisha, yet deep in her heart, the dream of becoming Masaharu's wife never faded. This is a poignant tale of her aching longing and the painful gap between dreams and reality.
