Edo Karuta

江戸カルタ

In the red-light district of Yoshiwara during the Edo period, four stories unfold, each linked to a karuta card. Okuma, a kind-hearted girl struggling to find a husband due to her weight, catches the attention of a samurai who defends her from mockery. Asagi, after her father's ritual suicide, faces bullying from fellow workers and dreams of regaining her former lifestyle, finding solace only in the company of a strange man trapped under a barrel. Tama, a lost child, is taken in by a family with a son named Shirou, but her longing to reunite with her father complicates her search for belonging. Seiichi, tasked with protecting Princess Miya, must navigate his own feelings to determine what is truly best for her.

Each tale explores love, duty, and the search for happiness in a world bound by societal constraints. As these characters confront their desires and circumstances, they must decide whether to follow their hearts or adhere to the expectations of their time.
