Historian Ken Daimaru and artist Natacha Nisic paint a dreamlike fresco of cultural heritage and its function in places affected by disaster. Take Nakamaura is the last Itako in Japan, a blind shaman who dwells on Mount Osoresan (Mount of Fear) close to the Rokkasho nuclear processing plant. Everyone who visits an Itako seeks to make peace with the dead. Can we make peace with the legacy of nuclear disaster?
