"As the Menji period begins around the turn of the century, Japan is doing away with the old caste system. Samurai and villagers are no longer supposed to represent different layers of social strata and equality is the goal for all. Old habits die hard, though, and one young teacher, living in a remote Japanese village, knows that if his family lineage is ever revealed, he will be ostracized from his community, and forced into a perpetual cycle of poverty, both for himself and for any future family that he might like to build."
