A love story between a blind but beautiful
daughter of a wealthy pharmacist and her handsome and patient male servant.
A born autocrat in mid-19th-century Japan (just prior to the Meiji Restoration),
O-Sha chose Sasuke, one of her father's apprentices, to be her servant.
She even taught him to play the samsien for her pleasure. Gradually they
fell in love and became inseparable.
A suitor, who failed to ask for her hand in marriage, scorched her face. Sasuke, on hearing of this, blinded himself so that he would only have memories of O-Sha's beauty. |
