A book about Oyasama, the foundress of Tenrikyo

A new book was published yesterday. It is a visual book, with many pages of manga, and paintings, all based on the stories and words of Oyasama, the foundress of Tenrikyo Church. I contributed many paintings to the book.
This book is the first of three series.
