However, secretly, he bears the face of an 'assassin', taking contracts for murder in exchange for money, a truth hidden from his family. One day, Juzo, who desires to leave Edo eventually for a peaceful life with his family, receives a new request for an assassination from the boss of the incense artisans. Although Juzo, who believes in 'cutting down only the most wicked among the wicked', feels uneasy about the target being Watasuke Yawata, a local merchant and Buddhist altar maker, he accepts the job, knowing that once he accepts, refusal is not an option. Meanwhile, Juzo develops a connection with a man through his hobby of painting, only to realize that the man is the very target, Watasuke. Despite learning from his boss that Watasuke is the head of a gang of extremely wicked thieves, Juzo hesitates to commit to the kill. Furthermore, as he uncovers deeper connections between Watasuke and his own past... Amidst the conflict between the rules of the underworld and the peculiar fate entwined by the paintbrush, what destiny awaits Juzo as he approaches the moment of decision? See less
