Plot summary

Four animated shorts set in different periods of Japanese history. In Tsukumo, a traveler caught in a storm takes shelter in an abandoned shrine, wakes among painted sliding screens as spirits pass through the walls, and opens the cabinet of tailoring tools he carries. In Hi no yôjin, set in the Edo period, Owaka is promised to a wealthy suitor while her heart belongs to Matsukichi, her childhood friend next door; three days before the wedding she sits with her gifts and a splendid kimono. In Gambo, a white bear spares a wounded Christian samurai, and a village chief asks that samurai to hunt a red ogre that claims a girl each night. In A Farewell to Weapons, soldiers in a future Tokyo fight robotic tanks.
