In the mind of Ayako, an old woman in exile on a mountain in medievalJapan, nothing is certain, and nothing holds a familiar shape for long. This isa map of a psyche exalted and destroyed by solitude, and on its contortedsurface Shinto philosophy, Greek mathematics, Hawaiian goddesses, Egyptianlegend, quantum physics, and Babylonian myth meet and merge...
