Introduction

On Hirado Island, dozens of whalers were killed by the Whale God and villagers became vengeful to slaughter the whale especially Shaki who lost his grandfather and father and brother for the whale. One day, the boss of fishermen declared that he will give his name, properties, land and daughter Toyo to the person who succeeds to capture the whale. However, a barbarous whaler named Kishū suddenly appeared and unilaterally perceived Shaki as a rival, and raped a girl named Ei, who is in love with Shaki, to warn and provoke Shaki. When the hostility between the two became decisive, a sighting of the Whale God approaching the village was reported.
