Amagi Pass (天城越え), Haruhiko Mimura, 1983

The murder took place soon after he met a woman who reminded him of his mother… Japan in the 1940s. A high school boy went into a magic encounter with Ozuka Hana, a geisha (pub girl) when he traveled through Amagi Pass. A mysterious murder took place afterward, and Ozuka was held responsible. 40 years later, the boy, who became a printing shop owner, was visited by a retired policeman who came from Amagi Pass. The truth then started to reveal itself.
