About

The historical novel series depicts Heizou Hasegawa, who metes justice on wrongdoers and supervises the crackdown on arsonists and robbers in Japan's Edo period (1603-1868).

Shadows stretch long across the cobblestone streets of Edo as investigators hunt arsonists and thieves through a haze of period tension. This animation captures the methodical, quiet intensity of a police crackdown in a world of strict social order.
