In a time when a woman’s role was to follow her husband and become a good wife and mother, a young woman returned to Japan after years abroad. Just as she graduated from a girls’ school, her mother pushed her into a marriage with a man 30 years her senior.

Struggling with outdated expectations, she found hope in her great-aunt’s suggestion to apply as a court lady. After passing the exam, she escaped her mother’s control and started working at the palace—but new challenges awaited her.
