Junichi is a young fashion designer; his after-hours obsession is with the paintings of Renoir.

In the vast urban sprawl of Tokyo, they meet as the prospective partners in an arranged marriage. After the relationship falls apart, their influence on one another continues, catalyzed by the juxtaposition of traditional and modern forces around them. Junichi comes under the influence of Fumie's teacup and soon their separate lives begin to change in unanticipated ways.

| Soft Pink Rain Ginger Amelia Sprockette $4.94 | |

Some things are never planned, they just happen, and sometimes they’re for the best. My mother told me that frequently from the time I was old enough to listen. Seventeen years ago, I was born amid rainbows and raised in the mysterious glistening jungles, coated with slime and bustling with sluggish life beneath the warmth of a quickly pulsing sun. It never mattered to me that I was a thousand light years from Earth.
