The Flight of the Great Roc - The God of Poverty and the Six Immortal Poets — A Graphic Novel

A samurai, a god of poverty, one-and-twenty lords and a monster the size of a cloud.

In late-Edo Japan, poor hatamoto Yabu Montarō sets out to sell his last treasured scroll and meets the God of Poverty on a snowy highroad. A beautiful maid with a cherry-blossom tattoo steals the scroll. A bird that no arrow can pierce hangs over the Tamagawa. A midnight council of twenty-one daimyō ends in a night parade of demons.
