One night in 18th-century Japan, at the hour of the Ox, a young boy
named Iwajiro sits in a state of pure concentration. At the foot of
Mount Fuji, behind screen walls and amidst curls of incense smoke,
Iwajiro chants the Tenjin Sutra, an act of devotion learned from
his beloved mother. On the side of the same mountain, 20 years on,
he will sit in perfect stillness as the summit erupts, spitting
fire and molten rock onto the land around him. This is not the
first time he has seen hell. This man will become Hakuin, one of
the greatest teachers in the history of Zen. His quest for truth
will call on him to defy his father, to face death, to find love
and to lose it. He will ask, what is the sound of one hand
clapping? And he will master his greatest fear. 'Night Boat' is the
story of his tremendous life.
