Synopsis
What if, in the midst of the greatest act of destruction of the twentieth century, something impossible was born? Kurohana is a mythological tale set in post-war Japan, following a young survivor of Hiroshima whose mysterious connection to life itself turns her into both a miracle and a curse. Pursued by those who seek to possess her and shaped by the legacy of the samurai, Akiko becomes the embodiment of a country caught between devastation and rebirth. Part historical epic, part fantasy, part samurai tale, Kurohana explores how hope can emerge from unimaginable tragedy.
