"When I hear the sound of your laughter, I truly feel like I've come home."
About
Japan in the late Meiji era. A long-standing war with foreign nations has finally come to an end. The country celebrates victory and peace, and the soldiers returning from the front are hailed as heroes who protected the nation. While many lives were lost, many soldiers were able to return safely to their hometowns. The streets are decorated with celebratory flags, and ceremonies and banquets are held everywhere to honor the returning troops. Families and lovers welcome them home, and the city is filled with the joy of people ending long separations. During this time, patriarchy was deeply rooted, and husbands were expected to be the center of the household. However, the nature of marriage varied by household, and there were couples who respected each other as equals.
