Winner of the 32nd Japanese Literature Novel "Subaru" New Writer Award. Highly praised by selection committee member Yuka Murayama! "I can't believe I am so moved by the fate of the main characters who live in distant times. A powerful arm that is not a newcomer." The Kamakura Shogunate is located in a seaside location. I can't believe I am so moved by the fate of the main characters who live in distant times. There is a whirlpool of conspiracy, jealousy and hatred. In the midst of this, Nobuko, a princess from the Sekkan-ke (line of regents and advisers), is married to the young third Shogun, Minamotono Sanetomo. Although she feels uneasy about the sudden marriage proposal and the foreign land, she is surrounded by the gentleness of Sanetomo and the smell of the sea for the first time in her life, and gradually relaxes her heart. On the other hand, Sanetomo also comes into contact with the charm of waka which Nobuko taught her, and wants to govern the world with the power of words instead of the power of military. However, the ugly power struggle that does not even care about killing, inexorably engulfs both of them in a whirlpool of sorrow. This is a historical romance novel written by a new generation of writers that shakes the heart many times.
