Synopsis

Based on a novel by Miyabe Miyuki.

Set in the late Edo period, in the second year of the Kyowa era (1802). Ohatsu, who is the signboard girl for a diner in Nihonbashi Torichō, awakens to a mysterious power – the spiritual ability to see and hear things that ordinary people cannot. Southern Edo magistrate Negishi Hizen-no-kami Yasumori approached her to request assistance in gathering strange tales for a collection called Mimibukuro, and introduces her to Furusawa Ukyonosuke, a trainee yoriki. Thus, the two of them encounter some bizarre events; where a man who had once died is said to have come back to life, as well as a strange phenomenon in which a rock trembles every night in the garden of the residence where lord of the Akō domain, Asano Takumi no Kami, committed seppuku.
