The stage is Edo. The second son of a draper store, Tenji is a beautiful boy that is earnest and kind as Bodhisattva. Tenji, who loves pretty things — especially hairpins — accidentally meets his favorite hairpin artisan, Shunsuke, one day, and ends up being shown around his workplace. Elated, he even follows Shunsuke to his home, but Shunsuke mistook Tenji for a woman and assaulted him! Shunsuke is actually a sensual man who welcomes all comers but never concerns himself with those who leave! And when he realizes Tenji is a man!? A beautifully and bewitchingly composed Edo picture scroll of passion of two straight men!
