Synopsis

Akari is neglected by her father, a top surgeon who works long hours and puts his career before family. Her mother is hospitalized because of an incurable disease. Therefore, Akari longs for a dog who can keep her company. One day, a Golden Retriever puppy unexpectedly appears in the garden of Akari's house, and Akari immediately decides to adopt it. At her mother's suggestion, Akari christens it "Socks", because the puppy's white paws made it look like it was wearing white socks. Her mother also made Akari promise that she will follow The Ten Commandments of Dog Ownership when she takes care of Socks. Akari also has a friend, Susumu, who is groomed by his family to become a professional guitarist. Susumu soon forms an attachment with Socks as well.

Sous le règne du huitième shogunat des Tokugawa, le domaine de Yunagaya, dans la région de Tohoku, est un petit fief dont le daimyo est Masaatsu Naito. Le daimyo reçoit l'ordre d'exécuter le Sankin-kotai dans les 5 jours . Le Sankin-kotai est une coutume qui exige que le daimyo du fief rende hommage au shogun à Edo sous peine de represailles. Malheureusement, le temps nécessaire à Masaatsu Naito pour faire le trajet est de 8 jours. Cet ordre est émis parce qu'un haut fonctionnaire du gouvernement veut s'accaparer la mine d'or présente sur le fief. De plus, les dépenses pour Sankin-kotai sont élevées et le domaine est si petit qu'il semble impossible à compléter. Néanmoins, Masaatsu Naito commence une opération inattendue pour achever Sankin-kotai en 5 jours.

"Why did Murasaki Shikibu write The Tale of Genji?" is the core concept behind Genji Monogatari: Sennen no Nazo. Throughout the film scenes from both Hikaru Genji no Monogatari (光源氏の物語　Hikaru Genji's story) and Shikibu no Monogatari (式部の物語　Shikibu's story) are intertwined together. As the main question being why was The Tale of Genji, the film is truly trying to place a reason and possibilities in why Murasaki wrote The Tale of Genji.
