The publisher describes the story:
After a fire burns down his family business and claims the lives of his parents, the young heir and master carpenter Shigetsugu vows to rebuild the failing venture with his late father's words in mind: “No matter how much the times change, what's important is for our kind to have compassion and dedication.”And then Ritsu, a housemaid with no relatives to rely on, comes rolling into his life with a group of children from a welfare facility who have nowhere to go, thus begins the dramatic last-ditch way-of-life story of a shaggily bearded carpenter!
The series is a reinterpration of Shūgorō Yamamoto's classic historical novel of the same name.
Mochizuki launched the series in Shogakukan's Weekly Big Comic Spirits in 2012. The manga ended in 2015 with the fourth compiled book volume.
Mochizuki's manga adaptation of Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs (Inugashima) film serialized in Kodansha's Morning magazine from May to July 2018. Dark Horse Comics licensed the manga, and released it in English in February 2020.
