The moon over the mountain / by Atsushi Nakajjima ; art by Nekosuke ; translation, Asa Yoneda.
"The Maiden's Bookshelf series combines classic short stories of the early 20th century with gorgeous original artwork to create collectible editions for a contemporary audience. At what cost art? In the course of a routine journey, government inspector Yuan Can encounters his old friend Li Zheng--but not as he remembers him. Transformed by obsession into a hideous beast, Li Zheng spins a tragic tale, and ultimately presents his confidante with a singular request. Dressed in the trappings of 8th-century China, Atsushi Nakajima's meditation on poetry and friendship nevertheless transcends time and language to speak directly to our hearts about what it means to be human."-- Amazon.com

Summary
The Moon over the Mountain : Maiden's Bookshelf
A beautiful book that can be enjoyed both as a short story and an artbook. 'Isn't that voice of my friend, Li Zheng?' During a trip, Ensan is reunited with his old friend Li, but his once beautiful appearance has completely changed... This mystical tale of a man transformed into a tiger is rooted in a story dating from the Tang dynasty, but feels totally immediate thanks to Nakajima's masterful adaptation and Nekosuke's gorgeous original art. At once lyrical and philosophical, Nakajima's story is a timeless classic now made available to contemporary audiences thanks to the Maiden's Bookshelf series
