In the heart of ancient Japan, a young woman, known as the Keeper of Sakura, sits by the tranquil riverside, entrusting the spirits of the sakura blossoms with the wishes of her people. Each spring, as the sakura blooms and its petals drift through the air, they transform into ethereal spirits, carrying the desires of the living to the heavens. The woman, chosen by fate, bears the weight of her village's hopes, her every breath in tune with the rhythm of the sakura tree. As the sun sets behind the sacred mountains, glowing lanterns ascend, guiding the spirits and illuminating the path to the celestial realm.
