Synopsis

Prestigious Tokyo art curator Keizo Yukawa is hired by robotics magnate, Ichiro Ono, to create a monumental museum for Ono's ancestor, Takenoko, who painted a view of Mt. Fuji every day for a year. Yukawa soon finds all is not as it seems with Ono and his intensely dysfunctional family, all of whom have inherited pieces of Takenoko's genius and madness. Will Yukawa survive his descent into their strange world? The novel is full of dangerous aesthetics, visionary artificial intelligence, and delightfully dark humor. Over four hundred works of art in the book tell their own story of creative obsession.
