Summary
Early Meiji era, Hokkaidō. Shumari, a wild man and fine swordsman from mainland Japan, respects the Ainu and lives alongside them. He has come to find his wife Tae, who ran off with another man; he soon finds her, but sees that her heart is lost to him, and wanders the still untamed land, caught up in the upheavals of the island's colonisation.
