Synopsis

In 972 A.D., Kyoto—once the imperial center—has declined into a city plagued by greed, decay, and human suffering. Ambitious samurai and onmyoji pursue influence above all else while famine and illness ravage the population. The Imperial Court commissions famed archer Minamoto no Raiko to retrieve a mythical gem believed to possess world-saving power, but Raiko becomes stricken with disease. His youngest sister, Hikaru, quietly takes up the mission in his stead. Traveling in his place, she encounters a range of people and undergoes numerous trials and encounters as she seeks the legendary jewel amid the city's corruption and hardship.
