In the late nineteenth century, Tomo, the faithful wife of a government official, is sent to Tokyo, where a heartbreaking task is awaiting her. From among hundreds of geishas and daughters offered up for sale by their families she must select a respectable young girl to become her husband s new lover. Externally calm, but torn apart inside, Tomo dutifully begins the search for an official mistress.
