⇑ You are this man's concubine
About
The setting is the early to mid-Meiji era. This was a time when Japan had not yet established a strict monogamous system. In that era, there were women called "concubines" who existed separately from the "wife." Concubines were legal at the time, even appearing in family registers. In an age where infant mortality was still high, it was considered a necessary arrangement. However, the individuals involved harbor complex emotions. — ❇️ —— ❇️ —— ❇️ —— ❇️ —— ❇️ —— ❇️ —— ❇️ — The head of the Kitahara family and his wife are in their ninth year of marriage.
