The title roughly means 'Flower of the Winter'. Kanou is a Yakuza. He had to kill Matsuoka who betrayed their boss. Kanou knew Matsuoka had a 3-year-old daughter named Youko.
Before he gave himself to the police, he asked his trusted man to take care of her. While in prison, Kanou kept sending letters to Youko, disguising as an uncle in Brazil.
15 years later, Kanou is released. He is determined to live legitimately, however... the Yakuza has not forgotten his wicked deed! The screenplay, inspired by "Daddy-Long-Legs," was written by So Kuramoto. A powerful motion picture about honor and the violent ways of the Yakuza.
