A man interviews the local people in a state of chaos; His name is Yuichi Sawajima. He is a time space journalist who travels to various eras to record the lives of unknown people with using time warp technology. Sawajima records about a famous merchant named Soshitsu Shimai, who has the phantom tea caddy known as “Narashiba,” and about the Shimai’s samurai guard, Gonnosuke Yajima. But suddenly they are attacked by a mysterious monk who has a “gun from the future” that could not have existed in that era, and the tea caddy is lost. In order not to change the history of the tea caddy and people related to it, Sawajima jumps in and out of various eras while trying to recover the “Narashiba” tea caddy.
