The Yomotsuki family have been masters of mask-making for generations, and it is clear from the masks left behind that they were all skilled masters. But of all of them, this one stands out above the rest. It shook me to my core. It was the work of Soetsu from the tenth generation.
When I see that unusually powerful carving, I feel my obsession growing stronger.
He is said to have been the greatest mask-maker in the history of the Yomotsuki family. I can see why.
At the same time, I can see why he is called anathema.
But I can't help but be drawn to Soetsu's work.
It pierces my heart.

我が四方月家は 先祖代々
面打ち師を生業としてきた
いずれも腕のある面打ち師であったのは
残された面を見れば分かる
しかし その中でも群を抜いて
私の心を揺さぶったのが
十世・宗悦の作品だ
異常なまでに力強いあの彫りを見ると
何かに対する執念を強く感じる
四方月家の歴史の中でも
随一の面打ち師といわれる
所以がよく分かる
同時に 禁忌といわれるのも分かる
しかし 私はどうしても宗悦の作に惹かれる
心を貫かれる
