Imagine witnessing the greatest devastation mankind had - at that time - ever known: America's atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. Now imagine, in the midst of such horrific firebombing with unspeakable disintegration and death, a father still mourning the loss of his wife and son under different circumstances, seeing the Shinto deity of fire, Kagutsuchi, laughing as hell spills onto the earth. Imagine once again the father, being tapped by Kagutsuchi's sister, Suijin, to become transformed and embark on a mission to destroy her brother's demons and save Japan. In We Walk on Ash, we follow this unlikely human pair, under the direction of the Princess Blossom Of The Trees, to battle fire monsters bent on destruction and death.
The father would become her samurai, his daughter would hone her bow and arrow skills, and together they would build their strength to confront Kagutsuchi and defeat him. Through the transformation and for the duration of their mission, several questions plague them: Why had we been saved? How could we walk the path of faith when we didn't believe? Was this our version of the light at the end of a dark tunnel? Were we just carbonized remains in our garden like so many others in Hiroshima?
