家庭用安心坑夫

Konami keeps house for a husband she has no real complaint about, yet something in their calm life unsettles her. One day she spots, on a pillar in the Mitsukoshi store at Nihonbashi, a sticker she remembers sticking on the bedroom dresser at her parents' house. Her mother raised her to believe that her father was Tsutomu, a mannequin in miner's overalls at a disused mine turned tourist site, and now Tsutomu begins turning up all over her corner of Tokyo. Drawn back into her past, she talks herself through it and behaves in ever stranger, often comic ways, as the line between the everyday and madness wears thin and she quietly starts to hatch a plan.
