The biographical comic depicting the life of Christian daimyo Takayama Ukon has been released on April 15, 2026.

This book focuses not only on his roles as a warrior and tea master but also on his faith as a Christian.

Takayama Ukon, who served as a vassal of Oda Nobunaga and distinguished himself as a warrior by beheading 200 enemies at the Battle of Honno-ji, was also known as a tea master, a high disciple of Sen no Rikyu.

The book delves into his faith as a Christian, in addition to his image as a warrior and cultural figure.

Exiled to Manila in the Philippines due to the Tokugawa shogunate's ban on Christianity, Ukon spent his final days there and was later beatified as a martyr.

This volume delves into the faith and life of this solitary Christian daimyo.
