Description
In 17th-century Japan, Mamoru, a quiet boy from a samurai family, discovers a sacred shivling near his village in Nagano that allows him to travel between the rivers of Asia. Guided by Gangiru, a magical Ganges dolphin, Mamoru journeys from the spiritual banks of the Ganges in India to the mist-covered Changjiang (Yangtze) in China. Along the way, he meets mystical dolphins, nine sisters of Goddess Durga, and a powerful woman named Gauri who changes the course of his destiny. Through sacred waters, prayers, festivals, and ancient temples, Mamoru begins to understand his identity, his transformation, and the connection between rivers, souls, and memory. The rivers are not just places they are mothers, histories, and bridges between worlds. A poetic and magical tale of spiritual discovery, feminine power, and becoming whole.
