Near Chigo-ga-ike in Kyoto, the strangled body of reporter Takada is discovered in a river. It appears he was killed elsewhere and thrown off a bridge. Meanwhile, at the home of Tadataka, head of the Tanmasu-ryu ikebana school that has lasted 500 years in Kyoto, family members and disciples have gathered. Tadataka announces that he will reveal the next head of the school at a party held on the final day of the “Contemporary Ikebana Artists Exhibition,” which the Tanmasu-ryu organizes. However, his wife, Mamiko, opposes the decision. Conflicts over who will succeed the school involve not only family bloodlines but also various hidden agendas. In Tokyo, Asami Mitsuhiko learns from a newspaper article that his old acquaintance Takada was killed in Kyoto. Mitsuhiko’s mother, Yukie, had planned to visit the “Contemporary Ikebana Artists Exhibition” in Kyoto but could not, and she asked Mitsuhiko to go in her place. Suspicious about Takada’s death, Mitsuhiko welcomes the opportunity. (Source: Japanese = TBS || Translation = MyDramaList) Edit Translation
