Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Harue, the owner of an antique shop, is asked by an apprentice painter to sell a painting his late husband had done of him, but since he can't sell it, he ends up acting as a model. Akiko, the head of a tea ceremony school, is approached by her apprentice Matsutoya one day and decides to give him advice on sex. Natsumi becomes the second wife of a snack bar owner, but his son is her ex-girlfriend. She can't stop him from going wild... An omnibus collection of beautiful women in kimono! Includes three works with themes of widows, married women, and stepmothers.
