Each story belongs to a different corner of Japan, where ordinary days hide a thin border between reality and illusion. Between the forests of Wakayama and the white, firework-lit beaches of Shirahama a man stumbles on something he never sought; an Okinawan boy's brush with an eel in Kyoto splits his life in two; a young woman in Osaka makes her peace with the kimono; and Aomori, the snowiest city, fills with a night parade of mythical figures.
