Empire of Japan, Heian period, twelfth century. Being the best carp fisherman, supplier of the sacred ponds of the imperial city, does not prevent Katsuro from drowning. It was then up to his young widow, Miyuki, to replace him to carry the carps taken from the Kusagawa River back to the capital. Wearing straw sandals, bent under a plank to which are suspended the fish pods and with only a few handfuls of rice, Miyuki undertakes a journey of several hundred kilometers through forests and mountains. Passing from temple to meeting house, facing the storms and earthquakes, the attacks of brigands and the betrayals of his fellow travelers, the cruelty of the madams and the fury of the kappa, aquatic monsters that spring from the water to devour the entrails of travelers. But the memory of the dazzling hours lived with the man she loved so much, and of which she is sure to walk by her side, will give Miyuki the power to overcome the most unusual tribulations, and to make all his prestige to the old master of the Office of Gardens and Ponds. (translated from amazon.fr description).
