Hidden in an old ink painting is the "Looking-Glass City" of Kyoto, where demons and humans live together and injuries and broken objects heal instantly. Created by a Buddhist monk named Myoe and his lover Koto, a black rabbit turned human by a kindly bodhisattva, the city is now ruled by their three children: the temple priest Kurama, the aristocratic demon Yase, and the Buddhist monk Yakushimaru, who await the return of their parents but eventually grow jaded. One day, a young girl, also named Koto, arrives with her familiars A and Un to search for the black rabbit, who she believes is her mother.
