The renegade monk Kaoshō Rochishin — the “Flower Priest,” named for the blossoms tattooed across his body — swings his iron staff in the drunken fury that wrecked his own monastery. A monk who drinks, brawls, and is somehow holier than his abbots: the novel’s most beloved outlaw, and Kuniyoshi plays the sacrilege at full volume. The “flowers” of his name are printed across the muscle doing the destroying — sanctity and violence carved into a single body. A holy man is not always a gentle one.
