/ What is the Buddha that only I can carve? The life of Unkei, a genius who carved despair and love into a Buddha. Unkei, who was ridiculed as an "ugly face" when he was a boy, became sensitive to beauty. He was captivated by the strong body of the samurai in Kamakura, and copied the figure of a woman into that of Buddha. There is only a chisel in his hand : wild ambition, feud with Kaikei, pursuit of insatiable beauty. But at its peak, his illness struck. This is a historical novel with all the might of a genius who continued to fight between beauty and prayer in the turbulent times.
