'Wild Geese' (Gan) is a classic of modern Japanese literature written by Ogai Mori during the Meiji period, portraying the conflict between unreasonable fate and a sad, missed unrequited love. The beautiful and submissive woman, Otama, had no choice but to choose the path of becoming the 'concubine' (mistress besides the official wife) of a wealthy man named Suezou to support her poor, aged father.
