Based on a real murder, the story was turned into a suspense drama set around Ise Shrine, Japan’s holiest shrine, and a well-known spot for pilgrims and tourists in the Edo Period as it is today. The show makes abundant uses of the scenery and symbols of Ise, a dream destination for commoners: the rising sun over the lover’s rocks, the dance of the geishas, the famous “Ise Ondo” melody, and more.
