Set shortly after Japan's surrender at the end of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and covering a period of around 30 years, the story revolves around the Tenge family, a rural family who have been powerful landowners in their community for many years. However, they are feeling the strain of the changes in post-war Japan in multiple ways, from losing land to tenant farmers due to agricultural policy reforms to the encroaching influence of Communist movements to one son being a POW and thus a disgrace in his father's eyes. Even worse, the family is seething with interpersonal drama and horrible moral and ethical abuses. This morass of drama ends up falling squarely on Ayako, the youngest daughter, and destroys her life.
