Breaking of Branches is Forbidden

Finished

花折り

A young acolyte is entrusted by the head monk with the important task of guarding a beautiful cherry tree in the monastery garden while the monk is away. The boy takes his duty seriously, but the older man underestimates his colleague's fondness for sake.

When a samurai warrior and his servant arrive to have a picnic feast under the blossoming tree, the acolyte refuses to let them enter. However, the aroma of their sake begins to test his resolve. The temptation proves too strong, leading to a momentary lapse that has consequences for the disciple.
