This is a biography of a female painter who lived through the turbulent times under the influence of her father. The unheard-of painter Kawanabe Akatsuki Sai dies. While his daughter Toyo (Midori Akatsuki) is left behind, his older brother Shuzaburo, who is from a different mother, often complains about him. He may have a grudge against him because he was adopted from an early age. Due to the death of Kawanabe Sai, the balance that had been barely maintained in the Kawanabe family was broken. Kiroku, his younger brother as well as his older brother, is immersed in a life like a grass without roots and cannot rely on it, his younger sister Kiku is in poor health and does not seem to be able to live for a long time. The end of the Kawanabe family line is on Toyo's shoulders.
