The story takes place at the junction of Chinatown and Japantown in Seattle, USA, an old building "Panama Hotel" that has been closed for 36 years.
More than 40 years ago, this inn witnessed the sweetest and most tragic time of Henry's life. Now, more than 40 years later, when the hotel reopened, it was discovered that the basement contained the luggage of thirty-seven Japanese families.
Old Henry happened to pass by the hotel and found that in his luggage there was an old object he was familiar with—a Japanese-style paper umbrella painted with koi fish. This paper umbrella awakened Henry's dusty memories for many years.
The shattered old records, the falling cherry blossoms, the brutal concentration camp, and the girl who suddenly left all reappeared in Henry's mind like a movie.
