In Nara, the magical Yumemori emerges, an entity of sleep embodied in a colorful Hannya mask. As night falls, she visits homes, bringing seasonal treats. The vibrant mask symbolizes the duality of sleep and dreams.

Gently tapping doors, Yumemori induces a sweet drowsiness. In return, she receives offerings of rice cakes and bean sweets. Celebrated as a guardian of balance between work and rest, this nightly tradition enchants Nara, transforming the once-feared Hannya mask into a messenger of sweet dreams.
