2022, ONGOING Shin-Yoshihara, late Edo period. Yonaotake, a courtesan who is said to be the best in Yoshiwara, is a raw girl who has no one's property yet, although she is known for her spirit and tension. Like Kaguyahime, Nayonake waits for the "someone" she will meet someday. Then, two men from Kyoto came to her...this is a pure love story about the "first love" that a lonely oiran (courtesan) discovers!

He died in the 22nd year of the Meiji era at the age of twenty five. What did Yasuji see in Tokyo? A quiet world that draws a mysterious master-student relationship, following the scenery seen by Yasuji Inoue, a painter of the perinatal era, while freely going back and forth between Tokyo in the Meiji era and Tokyo in the Showa era.
