A request came to restore the "Hana Guruma," which had been exhibited at the Paris Exposition. Despite being told, "Your homeland will not last another year," Kaoru returned to Japan and headed for the Mizuno family, the only ones in Japan capable of its restoration. Mizuno Fuyumi lives with her mother, a pearl artisan. The night before she is to depart for a munitions factory in Hamamatsu as part of the student labor mobilization, she is told that her real father is Fujido Kiyotaka, the founder of Imperial Pearl, known as the "Pearl King." Despite being tossed about by the ravages of war and a male-dominated society, Fuyumi carves out her own destiny. ★First printing in 2024. The cover has minor scuffs.
