Description

1952, Tokyo. Strange and ominous events fall upon the ancient Kuondji medical family, which runs a private gynecological clinic. Rumors spread throughout the city that the youngest daughter of the family has been carrying a child for 20 months and still cannot give birth… And her husband, Makio, disappears without a trace from a locked room. They also say that over the past few years several newborn infants have vanished from the clinic. For punishment for their crimes, the Kuondji family is cursed, and their youngest daughter becomes pregnant with a demon-baby. Writer-journalist Tatsumi Sekiguchi persuades his friend—the owner of a used bookstore—to take on this case. The bookseller is an onmyoji sorcerer who possesses techniques for exorcising evil spirits and removing possessions. And he is also convinced that nothing strange exists in the world…
