Synopsis

Forbidden romance between novice Hakoya Kozo and geisha Koume in 1920s Asakusa's Flower and Willow world.

When the first subway in the East opened and the people and towns were full of energy, there were people who supported behind the scenes of the gorgeous Flower and Willow world. The men who work at 'Kenban', the gateway to Asakusa's Flower and Willow world, are called Hakoya. They support the geisha like managers, sometimes like family members. Of course, romance Between a geisha and a hakoya is forbidden. Kozo is a novice Hakoya, and Koume is a geisha in her third year. In fact, the two were secret lovers. Of course, in the future, Koume will have a danna (a favored customer who will provide financial support) and will be married (having a physical relationship with her danna for the first time), so her love affair with Kozo is like playing pretend. However, as they play at romance, they are attracted to each other little by little...
