The Lantern and the Wave

Ignatz Award Nominee 2010. "Stunning" - The Comics Journal.

"Whom will one forgive if not one's enemies?" On Obon, The Day of the Dead, it is believed that the spirits of Japanese ancestors visit the homes of their families, and the living set paper lanterns on river waters to illuminate their path back to the netherworld.

This year, in the midst of a bloody and decades-long clan war, the festivities halt as the Okumura troops return from battle, carrying along with their wounded and fallen, the captive daughters of their enemy.

For samurai Oda and his two children, Ryoan and Kaimen, this homecoming begins a chain of events both intimate and violent, revealing harsh truths about themselves and their war, that will change each one of them forever.
