Brought low by a man he calls Sensei, Hikaru Hayano throws himself into ancient bronze bells and local history, and grieves for the trials of a woman he loves. His district once grew Asia's largest poppy crop, and a young man there longed to go to Manchuria and offer the emperor flowers, spellbound by an expo for the empire's 2600th year.
