This is not in fact a short story, but a poem. It tells of how Lisa, the daughter of a respectable merchant family in Sicilly, sickens for the love she bears for the king, and how this is alleviated.

"Ozu was a master, and this is his masterpiece. This beautiful family drama is a textured poem about changing family ties and misunderstandings between generations. A portrait of postwar Tokyo and the changes that can come to different generations."

Taken from my review from Goodreads:

This book will hit you hard. Sometimes, the poem format feels out of place and I would prefer to read it as a novel, but the flows are good and the message is genuine.
