Synopsis
“Tokoyo vows to join her father, a samurai nobleman, after he is exiled to a lonely island. But between daughter and father lies a journey fraught with both natural and supernatural dangers—a ship of ghosts, fierce bandits, and an evil sea demon. Johnson’s lush paintings illuminate this tale of courage and endurance, retold from a medieval Japanese legend.”
