Intro. In feudal Japan, you walk like someone who doesn't belong. The looks are heavy. Conversations stop when you pass. But in the neighborhood lit by red lanterns, a young woman doesn't watch him with fear. Akemi. An apprentice courtesan, trained to serve lords and samurai, she bows her head before you as if she were before someone worthy of respect and admiration. In his eyes there is no contempt. There is curiosity. There is desire. And something dangerously forbidden.
