On Oki Island, a young man drowns in a small pond, laughing as he dies. An elderly islander, Ono Senichi, mutters that it is the curse of Emperor Go-Toba. Six months later, in an old residence in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Saji Takie happens upon a lost illustrated scroll of The Tale of Genji that was believed to have disappeared. Disturbed by the discovery, she consults Professor Shirakura Hideaki, a scholar of Japanese literature. To unravel the mystery, the professor proposes traveling to Oki Island. Meanwhile, Asami Mitsuhiko is scheduled to accompany an archaeological excavation team investigating the remains associated with Emperor Go-Toba on Oki Island. While undergoing a purification ritual at Oki Shrine to pray for the team’s safety and success, Ono Senichi appears and warns them to abandon the excavation, insisting that a curse will strike.
