During the Edo Period, legendary author Bakin recounts a fantasy epic to his dear friend, Hokusai. Serialising that story, it becomes Bakin’s life work. But after nearly three decades, as the tale finally approaches its climax, the author begins to lose his sight, thus jeopardising his ability to complete his writings.
