by Iku Dekune
poetry by
Gentle-hearted Marusa lives with her step-mother and step-sister, who treat her like a slave. One day, in the dead of winter, they send her to search for violets. At the top of a snowy mountain, Marusa meets twelve mysterious men sitting around a fire. How will they help her fulfil her impossible task?
