"From May of that year until the beginning of the next, I lived in the mountains..." A picturesque, quiet place, ideal for creativity. A modest one-story European-style structure, spacious enough for a bachelor, belonged to a well-known artist in Japan.
Everything would have been peaceful and quiet, if not for the painting "Murder of the Commander" found in the attic, if not for the ringing of Buddhist bells at night, if not for the strange crypt that emerged from under a stone mound in the middle of the thicket, if not for the meeting with the aesthete Menshiki, who for fabulous money asked to paint a portrait, first his, and then perhaps his, daughter, if not trying to understand himself. "So the beginning of everything that is going on around me was that I brought this painting to light? And thereby breaking the circle?" This painting turned the protagonist's life upside down and affected everyone who saw it. It created another reality in our world. How is this all possible?
