In 1906, towards the end of the Meiji era, the government decided to allow the pollutants from the Ashio Copper Mine to be dumped into the pond in Yanaka Village, located downstream of the Watarase River in Tochigi Prefecture. This was done to protect the operations of the mine, but unfortunately, it led to contamination of the fields in the village. Nitta Sachi, the daughter of a poor farming family in Yanaka Village, was approached by politician Tanaka Shozo through her older brother Nobuyoshi. Sachi was asked to go to Tokyo to work as a housekeeper for female social activist Fukuda Hideko, who was in charge of the magazine "Women of the World." With the help of Nobuyoshi, Sachi met Kusakabe Jotaro, who claimed to be a government official. He escorted her to Tokyo and instructed her to observe and report on activities in the Fukuda household. Various social activists like Kotoko Shusui and Osugi Sakae were frequent visitors at the Fukuda residence. Sachi worked diligently, but she felt inadequate for not being able to read like the other intellectuals in the house. Meanwhile, there was a strike by the laborers at the Ashio Copper Mine. This led to social activists like Ishikawa Sanshiro advocating for a wage increase and attempting to incite rebellion against the government. However, the authorities cracked down on the activists, including Ishikawa, who was arrested. Feeling guilty for his arrest, Sachi fled from the Fukuda household and returned to Yanaka Village, only to find her home destroyed due to the government's forced seizure. To her dismay, her brother Nobuyoshi was at the center of this unfortunate event.
