Eight Clouds Rising - S01

Takeo Nanachi and some friends travel to a rural village for inspiration for a play, only to discover the locals are holding a rare, solemn festival held once every few decades. Takeo wants to use the event to cleanse his grandfather’s old sword, but the villagers’ rituals don’t allow outsiders to take part. When his car breaks down, stranding him in the village, he gets pulled into their eerie, captivating traditions and grows close to Kuraki Fuzuchi, the head priest’s son.
