This is a story of two young spirits, a demon and Ohana, who met and fell in love. A precious, precious tale witnessed by the two lives. A solitary pine tree standing in a wilderness. Everyday life covered by masks. Sound of bombings resonating around the world. Because of these three symbolic events, the voice, the sound and the light of the festival completely vanished from the earth. But now, hostalgic beat springs forth in the desolate wilderness. Can you feel the revival of Matsuri? This is a story of two young spirits, a demon and Ohana, who met and fell in love. A precious, precious tale witnessed by the two lives.
