In feudal Japan, a secluded aristocratic woman, restless and naive to life beyond her manor, spends her days diligently copying a rare Buddhist sutra her father, away on official duties for years, has sent her. One late afternoon, as the sun sets, its light outlines a distant holy figure on the mountains, stirring a profound, silent reverence within her.
