With poor living conditions and an unfair workload, Massago is unhappy as a country maid. Meanwhile, at the palace, Sado-ko spends most of her time in solitude, feeling solemn about her future as Prince Komatzu’s wife. The other court ladies disprove of her, judging Sado-ko for not succumbing to Western influences like they have. After the palace commissions Massago's fiancé, Junzo, to create a sculpture, the two sisters reunite and decide to trade places. In their new lives, Sado-ko and Massago find happiness at last, but when Aoi, a lady of the court, starts to cause trouble, she threatens to ruin the twin sisters' plans.   Published in 1904, Daughters of Nijo: A Romance of Japan by Onoto Watanna is now presented in an easy-to-read font and features a stunning new cover design.
