He is accidentally ordered. After waking up and returning home, he met the ghost of his deceased wife who had been killed by the defeated army and learned the truth overnight. After that, he focused on porcelain production, while the other line was realistic and wanted to be a samurai. After hitting his fame, he met Abin, who had become a celebrity prostitute and was separated, and abandoned his suspicion of returning to his hometown as a male farmer and a female weaver. The war broke homes and wives, and made people greedy and depraved.
