Summary
Kyūzō Kurokawa returns home to his village as a living war god with a decoration from the Sino-Japanese war in 1944. But the war also deprived him of all four limbs, voice, and hearing. All he can do is live in the nightmare he, himself created. Not knowing of the depravity he had sunk to as a soldier, Shigeko, Kyūzō's wife, devotes herself to taking care of him everyday. The pain, disgust and torture of seeing him in this condition nearly drives her insane, but she struggles through the turmoil. However, as the war starts waning, things start to change.
