Chieko Saga in the daughter of Takichiro and Shige, who operate a kimono manufacture business in Kyoto. Now twenty, Chieko has known for years that she was a foundling adopted by Takichiro and Shige. Soon after a chance encounter at Yasaka shrine, Chieko learns of a twin sister Naeko raised by her natural parents. She also learns that she was not abandoned; she was stolen from her real parents. Naeko lives on her own in Kitayama on the fringe of village society. The identical looks of Chieko and Naeko confuse Hideo, a potential suitor whose marriage to Chieko would result is a business alliance between their families. When the truth is discovered, though, the youths realize that it's more important for them to marry for love rather than for business -- as Naeko and Hideo will.
