Synopsis


The
series consists of adaptations of six modern classics of Japanese
literature: Osamu Dazai’s No Longer Human (Ningen Shikkaku) & Run,
Melos! (Hashire, Melos!), Natsume Soseki’s Kokoro, Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s
Hell Screen (Jigoku Hen) & The Spider’s Thread (Kumo no Ito), and
Ango Sakaguchi’s In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom (Sakura no
Mori no Mankai no Shita).No Longer Human (Ningen Shikkaku)
– A high school student becomes lost and alienated. Despondent and
aimless, he falls into a cycle of self abuse, depression and drugs that
taints his life for years. Told in three chapters, each chapter deals
with a different point in his life and the final chapter leaves him
standing alone – an empty and hollow charicature of his former self.
In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom (Sakura no Mori no Mankai
no Shita) – A love story between a 12th-century woman and a mountain
bandit who abducts her.

Kokoro – A 1914 tale of a young man’s life journey during the Meiji
era. The work deals with the transition from the Japanese Meiji society
to the modern era, by exploring the friendship between a young man and
an older man he calls “Sensei”. It continues the theme of isolation
developed in Soseki’s previous works, here in the context of interwoven
strands of egoism and guilt, as opposed to shame.

Run, Melos! (Hashire, Melos!) – An updated retelling of a classic
Greek tale of the story of Damon and Pythias. The most prominent theme
of “Run, Melos!” is unwavering friendship. Despite facing hardships, the
protagonist Melos does his best to save his friend’s life, and in the
end his efforts are rewarded.

Hell Screen (Jigoku Hen) – A famous artist is commissioned by a great
lord to create a series of paintings depicting scenes of the ‘Buddhist
Hell’. The artist is unable to paint scenes that he has not seen
himself, prompting him to torture and torment the Lord’s staff to create
his imagined images of hell. His creative efforts taint the household,
as the story descends into madness and destruction.

The Spider’s Thread (Kumo no Ito) – The Buddha Shakyamuni chances to
notice a cold-hearted criminal suffering in Hell. But this criminal did
perform one single act of kindness in not stepping on a spider in a
forest. Moved by this selfless act, Shakyamuni takes the silvery thread
of a spider in Paradise and lowers it down into Hell, but it falls upon
the criminal to seize the opportunity and pull himself out – if he can.
