In a small country on the border where the scars of war have yet to heal, Princess Yato, who is called a “shinigami” (a goddess of death), has been married to the feudal lord. A Buddhist image maker named Obito takes one good look at her face and wishes to carve her face on a Buddha statue. A turbulent, passionate story illustrating a man who viciously lived while continuously questioning the meaning of life. In addition to the main story Busshi, you can also read Fumi Shimomura’s “Stories for a Rainy Night”, first time to be published on a volume, and her latest work “Anatta”.
