«El Buda blanco» is the contemporary fiction novel by Hitonari Tsuji, published by Alianza in hardback (352 pages, in Spanish).
On the island of Ono, the elderly Minoru Eguchi reviews his life as he lies dying, among memories of his first love, the horror of war, and belief in the transmigration of souls. His workshop shifts from making knives to producing weapons. To combat the fear of being forgotten, he decides to raise a great white Buddha to shelter the dead.
