The book opens with some childhood thoughts of Yoichi Yamashita spurred by a call informing him of his father''s death. So, he journeys back to his hometown after an absence of well over a decade during which time he has not seen his father. But as the relatives gather for the funeral and the stories start to flow, Yoichi''s childhood starts to resurface.
The Spring afternoons playing on the floor of his father''s barber shop, the fire that ravaged the city and his family home, his parents'' divorce and a new ''mother''. Through confidences and memories shared with those who knew him best, Yoichi rediscovers the man he had long considered an absent and rather cold father.
