| Summary | Mimio, a spirited young craftsman, has always striven for perfection, but his quiet life is shattered when he's called to Lord Yonaga's court. As a substitute for his ailing master, he must compete against Hida's most revered artisans to carve a divine statue for the mesmerizing Princess Yonaga. Yet, this isn't just an artistic challenge; it's a descent into an unsettling world where courtly games hide chilling depths. The Princess's innocent smile, bright as dew, masks an inscrutable nature that begins to warp Mimio's perception of art, life, and even sanity. To triumph, Mimio must confront not only his formidable rivals but the growing, terrifying power he senses in Princess Yonaga. His quest to capture her essence will unearth unspeakable truths. |
