Japan. The last decade of the seventeenth century.
Men who lived by the sword find themselves without a vocation while women begin to confront new opportunities and threats hitherto unimaginable.
The austere demands of the haikai poet are no match for the new popularity of urban performers, and the medieval samurai ethos has been replaced by that of the merchant and the shogun's bureaucrats.
