In 1924, young Togashi Buntaro leaves his mountain village in the Tohoku region for Tokyo, relying on his late father's war comrades. He finds shelter at the home of Yamada Jinjiro, a member of the Yamajin family, a loan shark in Asakusa during the Sanja Festival. Buntaro's father was a matagi hunter who learned Shorinji Kempo from a Chinese monk while serving in Manchuria, passing these secret techniques to his son.

Buntaro, who understands the essence of Shorinji Kempo, refuses to use his physical strength even after joining a yakuza family. This puts him at odds with the Yamajin family, who lack the true spirit of a gambler. The story is part of a monumental collection of gambling short stories researched and written by Baron Yoshimoto.
