Iara

イアラ

During the Nara period, a young man named Tsuchimaro falls in love with a servant girl named Saname. Their happiness is shattered when Tsuchimaro is sent to work on the construction of the Great Buddha, and the two are forcibly separated. Saname follows him, only to be forced into marriage with Kuninaka no Kimimaro, the man overseeing the project.

Witnessing Saname being poured into the Great Buddha with molten copper, Tsuchimaro hears her final cry: "Iara." Across the Kamakura, Azuchi-Momoyama, and Edo periods, and into the present day, a man bearing Kimimaro's face repeatedly appears, driven to uncover the mystery behind that single word and to find the woman who spoke it.
