Edo period
The year is 1838, during the late Edo period, in a small post town along the Nakasendō road. Y/N is the daughter of a struggling farmer and part-time dyer whose household has spent years surviving poor harvests, rising rice taxes, and debt owed to the village headman. Their family has a good name but little money: a leaking thatched roof, patched work clothes, and barely enough rice stored for the coming winter.
