Japan is rebuilding her cities after the calamity of World War Two  her people putting defeat behind them and looking to the future. The celebrated artist  Masuji Ono  fills his days attending to his garden  his house repairs  his two grown daughters and his grandson; his evenings drinking with old associates in quiet lantern-lit bars. His should be a tranquil retirement. But as his memories continually return to the past - to a life and career deeply touched by the rise of Japanese militarism - a dark shadow begins to grow over his serenity.
