“From May of that year until the beginning of the next, I lived in the mountains…” A picturesque, quiet place—ideal for creativity. A modest one-story building in a European style, spacious enough for a bachelor—belonged to a well-known artist in Japan.
Everything would have been peaceful and calm—if not for the painting “The Murder of the Commander” found in the attic, if not for the ringing of a Buddhist bell at night, if not for the strange crypt that appeared beneath a stone mound in the middle of overgrown brush, if not for meeting the aesthete Mensiki, who for a fabulous sum asked to paint a portrait—first his own, and then maybe his daughter’s—and if not for the attempts to understand oneself.
“So it turns out that the beginning of everything that happens around me was the fact that I brought this painting into the light? And in doing so, did I open the circle?”
This painting overturned the main hero’s life and influenced everyone who saw it. It created another reality in our world. How is all this possible?
