## Synopsis

Kyoto is home to humans, shape-changing tanuki, and tengu who observe the city from above. Yasaburo Shimogamo is the third of four tanuki brothers, and curiosity pulls him away from the conduct expected of a responsible heir. His wanderings repeatedly bring him into the company of an aging tengu, the intimidating human Benten, and relatives caught up in a struggle for influence. Meanwhile, the Shimogamo household still lives with the disturbing fate of its admired father, who was captured and served to the Friday Club. As Yasaburo tries to understand what happened, old loyalties and buried resentments begin to surface. The mystery gives the season direction, but the family members and their tangled affections remain its focus.
