love manifests itself in many different forms, many different permutations, each drenched in its own beauty and melancholia.
the love for their art; a maiko or geiko performing mai, or the musicians playing the shamisen, kotsuzumi or using their voices to sing, or the art of cooking, when a makanai chooses the right ingredients, presenting a cacophony of flavours, suiting the taste of the consumer, while preserving the culture and origin of the delicacy.
love is also present in the relations between people;
childhood friends that feels beyond platonic, or the sisterhood and family-hood between non-blood related people, or the unrequited nature of love, with time, reciprocation and clashing dreams being factors of it, or the friction between mother and daughter, the love between customer and maiko and the unique relationship between 2 heartbroken souls, a troubled teen and a bartender, all forming one big found family of unique people of different backgrounds and lives, like a bowl of tonjiru with all its ingredients.
