A young woman is out in the world for the first time, living on her own. When she decides to tie up her hair one day, she embarks on a journey of small, almost imperceptible but important changes. Relationships develop, problems emerge and decisions are made. As the year progresses and she navigates the ins and outs of daily life, she also discovers new ways of styling her hair. Because nothing stays the same-and sometimes, changing your hairstyle can have a deep impact on your life. This charming coming-of-age novel introduces the Korean concept of so-hak-hang-the belief that small pleasures like a movie night with friends, painting your nails or trying a new hairstyle are a simple but reliable means of finding true joy.

Based on a traditional tale, the plot centers around the great artist, Yoshihide, who despite his talent is rude, lazy and avaricious. His one saving grace is his love for his beautiful daughter, Yuzuki. Yoshihide is employed to create paintings for the Lord of Horikawa, who one day decides to employ Yuzuki as a lady-in-waiting in his household. Yoshihide is not happy about this, especially when he learns that Yuzuki has been the victim of a rape attempt. But Yuzuki refuses to name the perpetrator. Yoshihide becomes furious. Having been commissioned by Horikawa to paint a folding hell screen depicting punishments in the afterlife, he tortures his apprentices so that he can depict human suffering more accurately. He then asks Horikawa to burn a beautiful woman, so this too, can be depicted realistically. Horikawa agrees, but it is Yoshihide's own daughter Yuzuki who ends up being burned to death. Yoshihide completes the hell screen painting, then kills himself. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
