Witty, innovative and profound, this is a contemporary feminist retelling of traditional ghost stories by one of Japan’s most exciting writers. In a company run by the mysterious Mr Tei, strange things are afoot - incense sticks lead to a surprise encounter; a young man reflects on his mother’s death; a fox-like woman finally finds her true calling.

As female ghosts appear in unexpected guises, their gently humorous interactions with unsuspecting humans lead to deeper questions about recent changes in Japanese women’s lives.
