Ambientada durante el período Showa temprano, Yakumo ingresa al mundo del rakugo. Forma una amistad con el talentoso narrador Yurakutei. Yakumo admira el talento de Yurakutei y lucha por alcanzar su nivel de desempeño. Con la ayuda de la geisha Miyokichi, Yakumo crece como un narrador de rakugo. Yurakutei y Miyokichi se casan, pero mueren en un misterioso accidente. Yakumo toma a Konatsu, que es hija de Yurakutei y Miyokichi, y la cría. Konatsu crece culpando a Yakumo de ser el enemigo de sus padres. Yotaro, discípulo de Konatsu y Yakumo, persigue la verdad sobre la muerte de sus padres, que Yakumo oculta.
