五瓣の椿 The Five-Petal Camellia

A classic Japanese literary audiobook by Shugoro Yamamoto, narrated in Japanese.

In the first month of Tenpo 5, a detached residence belonging to Musashiya, a long-established apothecary in Honjo-Shirakawabashi, is engulfed in flames. From the ruins, three bodies are found: the ailing master Kihee, his wife Osono, and their only daughter Oshino. People believe the three members of the family have perished together in the fire.

But afterward, across Edo, men begin to die one after another. Behind these mysterious deaths lies a long-buried history of resentment, desire, and tragic fate.

The Five-Petal Camellia is one of Shugoro Yamamoto's most powerful historical novels, blending suspense, human drama, and emotional depth.

This audiobook is ideal for listeners who enjoy Japanese literature, historical fiction, Edo-period drama, family tragedy, revenge stories, and atmospheric storytelling.
