贋 -まがいもの-

Sokkei Utsumi is a gifted painter in early Showa-era Japan, but his specialty—ghost paintings—fails to attract buyers. Despite his undeniable talent, he lives in poverty, unable to sell his work. To escape his financial struggles, Utsumi reluctantly agrees to create a single counterfeit piece. This one-time job thrusts him into a dangerous underworld where art and crime blur together. As he navigates this illicit path, Utsumi must grapple with the ethics of forgery and the value of authenticity. The story explores the tension between artistic integrity and survival, set against the rich cultural backdrop of 1920s Japan.
