Nightsong of Splendor - S01

The story is set in old Tokyo, in August and September of 1923 (Taishou 12). At this time, the city is a mix of extremes... past and present, rich and poor, good and bad. It is a city where you see both horsecarts and motorcars, swords and pistols, lords and businessmen. A wealthy woman from an upper-class family finds herself drawn to a handsome young man, Taka. He and his younger brother seem to be tied, perhaps not entirely by choice, to some of the city's criminal underground (Yakuza). The lady's lovely young maidservant, Sara, meets him as well, and a conflict begins that can only lead to tragedy, passion, and dishonor. But as events move on and the days pass, the viewer sees a terrible date approaching... that unforgettable day of September 1, 1923, at 11:58, when the Great Kanto Earthquake and tidal wave struck Tokyo, killing almost 100,000 people, one of the greatest disasters in human history.
