River Grace is an intimate, autobiographical look at Makoto Fujimura's early years as an artist in Japan. In a refreshingly transparent account, Mako recalls discovering Nihonga, the ancient style of painting that would become his trademark, and being awakened to a longing for "higher transcendence through the extravagant materials" Nihonga employs.
