The story takes place in the late 19th century. Rogin, a Nihon-ga painter traveling in search of inspiration to paint the most beautiful woman ever, sets foot in a village in the mountains suffering from a plague. There, he comes across and rescues a salt peddler whose life was threatened by the locals who accused him of defiling the village. The mysterious man, who carries a large load and refuses to reveal his name, tells Tsuyugane that he once met Toki, a woman of unmatched beauty, deep in these mountains. They fell in love and had a child together, but one day, Toki dissapeared in the clear river water, never to be seen again. And the man has been looking for her ever since.
