Genbanojou

In a cone-shaped land named Kikyougahara in Shin Province, there lives a kind-hearted girl named Hana. She always thinks of her family, especially her great-grandmother Chiyo, whom she affectionately calls "Granny." One day, a traveling entertainment troupe named the Natsugawa Genzaemon Troupe passes through the village, and the inhabitants welcome them warmly. After their performance, the troupe's leader spots Hana with some "oyaki," his favorite food, and transforms into a fox in his excitement. It turns out that the leader Genbanojou, along with his companions O-Natsu and Shinzaemon, are all foxes who have taken on human forms. Genbanojou hastily negotiates with Hana, offering to grant her one wish in exchange for keeping their secret. Hana responds, "I want to let my Granny see the cherry blossoms."
