Young geisha Aiko Orikasa is convinced Japan is moving towards war in Asia, and ultimately a war with America. Aiko and police inspector Yuudai Sato work against a military determined to take Japan to total war. But forces are working against them as Japan goes to war in China.

This is a fascinating tale about a country which instigated a war it could never win, and was then was prepared to fight to the last man and woman to stave off an inevitable defeat.
