The one person who was never consulted, and who had not the remotest notion of what was going on, was Asako herself. Asako was most unhappy. The disappearance of Fujinami Takeshi exasperated the competition between herself and her cousin.
This was only one of the differences of opinion between the two seniors of the house of Fujinami, which became more frequent as the clouds of disaster gathered over the home in Akasaka. A far more thorny problem was the question of the succession. With the living death of Takeshi, there was no male heir. Several family councils were held in the presence of the two Mr.

In the village of Kusatsu, beyond the Karuizawa mountains, there is a natural hot spring, whose waters are beneficial for the alleviation of the disease. In this place there is a settlement of well-to-do lepers. Thither it was decided to banish poor Takeshi. His wife, Matsuko, naturally was expected to accompany him, to nurse him and to make life as comfortable for him as she could.
Only Fujinami Takeshi, the son and heir, with his wife Matsuko, was absent. There had been some further trouble in the family which had not been confided to Asako, but which necessitated urgent steps for the propitiation of religious influences. The Fujinami were followers of the Nichiren sect of Buddhism.
