Edo No Musume New Edition (Kadokawa Bunko)

[Machine Translation] In the season of flowers, a young girl tactfully throws a robber into the river during a robbery commotion on a boat crowded with flower-viewing tourists. While the people were cheering her on, the young girl was offended by the samurai, who scoffed at her, saying, "You are a woman, but you are unseemly. However, the second son of the Hatamoto family and Kuramae Komachi, the owner of a ryotei (Japanese-style restaurant), eventually fall in love. The time is the end of the Edo period, and the waves of the times swallow them both up... This short story collection contains the title story, which can be called the starting point of the "Oyado Kaesemi" series, as well as seven other stories that condense the original form of Hiraiwa's literature. This is a new edition with large, easy-to-read characters.
