The Blurb
1948: Japan is rebuilding her cities after the calamity of World
War II, her people putting defeat behind them and looking to the future.
The celebrated painter Masuji Ono fills his days attending to his
garden, his two grown daughters and his grandson, and his evenings
drinking with old associates in quiet lantern-lit bars. His should be a
tranquil retirement. But as his memories continually return to the past -
to a life and a career deeply touched by the rise of Japanese
militarism - a dark shadow begins to grow over his serenity.
