A priest of a Japanese imperial shrine dies under mysterious circumstances.
The dead poem he wrote leads to a American professor William Sandwell who
claims his innocence is taken by the police for investigation. Carvings onto the body
and the disappearance of Japan's most important myth-surrounded relics, a
mythological mirror points into the direction of a brutal robbery.
Forced by the Kunaicho, Japan's most powerful government organization he starts a
search for the relic. Joining him in his adventure through Japan is a gifted half
Japanese, half English archaeologist, Catherine Yamazaki. Together, assisted by a
police officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police District they discover a trail of
evidence that starts in the Inner Sanctuary of the shrine. Finally the search leads to
the arrest of the thieves and the unveiling of Japan's best kept secret.
