Into the book
One day I asked my father.
“Why do you continue to do such painful things?”
“Because I believe that someday this suffering will end.”
“If you quit now, it’s over.”
Father turned his eyes to the blank canvas and fixed them there for a while.
But it seemed like the one who was really empty was my father.
“That doesn’t mean the suffering ends.
“I’m finished.”
---From "The Death of a Painter"
A few days later, I was painting alone under the moonlight.
In a corner of the garden, in my own painting, there was a special, even soil gathered.
As you dig down into the ground, the color of the soil gradually gets darker, so you can use that to express different colors and shades.
The theme of that day was moonlight.
In the center, the finest and softest clay was gathered and neatly drawn to resemble a moon, and small, sparkling grains of sand were added to make it look as if a soft light was spreading out.
As we got farther away from the moon, we dug deeper into the ground to create shadows, making it look as if the moon was really floating above the ground.

From “The Painter Who Paints with Clay”
“No, it’s the opposite.
Just wait and see.
I may not be a great painter, but I will be a unique painter.
“I will draw a picture that is different from anyone else’s and that no one else can draw!”
The teacher looked at me as if he was surprised, then smiled broadly with his toothless mouth.
And he laughed for a long time with a low, seething laugh.
“Why are you waking up the old painter’s heart like this?
That's the best thing you've ever said.
Okay, let's wait and see.
“I want to surprise the world and myself.”
---「5.
From "The Prince Behind the Iron Gate"
“Then I will be properly selfish.
Don't you dare erase me from your heart.
Until the day I die, love, want and miss only me.
Even if I love someone else, even if I never love you again, don't change.
“Even though it’s unfair, resentful, and upsetting, and I still blame myself for not being able to stop, I love myself to the end.”
I felt a desire to run away, but at the same time, to be held tightly in that strong grip.
How can one hide such an intense possessiveness behind a calm face?
Strangely enough, at that moment I was more fascinated by Sarasa than ever before.
“I will do so, Miss.”

“Why should the suffering end?”
I was relieved for a moment, but then I was shocked to find out that he had called my name for the first time.
When I couldn't bring myself to answer, he surprisingly spoke soothingly.
“Answer me.”
“That’s because… it’s painful.”
“Have you ever thought that the suffering itself is the meaning of what we do?”
---「9.
From “The Pilgrimage of Suffering”
I had a dream of a distant sea.
It was a strange sea where the sun was playing.
The stars swam like fish, splashing and jumping up to the surface of the water, and each time the curved moon snatched them up like a hawk.
So it eats so many stars that it becomes a full moon.
I thought so naturally.
It's okay here.
No one can come here.
No one can hurt me.

Publisher's Review
Great but ordinary, excellent but imperfect
The story of painters who go through misunderstandings, misunderstandings, and wanderings!
Since publishing “The Ice Tree Forest” in 2008, author Ha Ji-eun has captivated many readers with her aesthetic prose and captivating story.
Since then, he has consistently presented a unique world of fantasy literature that is both beautiful and eerie, with works such as 『Sand Blood』 and 『Mr. Void's Strange Mansion』.
Her most widely known masterpiece is "The Ice Tree Forest," which is a story about music, but many fans also consider "The Rusty Moon," which is based on paintings, to be their favorite work among Ha Ji-eun's works.
Set in a fictional city reminiscent of Renaissance Europe, this novel, unlike the author's other works that feature fantastical and unrealistic elements such as curses and demons, contains only human stories.
The city where the Pope resides has a very strong religious authority, and art cannot escape the shadow of religion.
Who will paint the ceiling of the cathedral being built in the city center is the biggest concern of the city's painters.
Arrogant and proud painters, for their own reasons, refuse this great mission or try to challenge religion by painting forbidden pictures, putting their beliefs on the tip of their brushes and telling human stories.
"The Rusty Moon" revolves around the protagonist and narrator, Padou Jordi.
However, as the story progresses, the characters surrounding the wave also reveal their own stories and hidden sides.
The people in the workshop, such as Leonard, who never paints his own pictures, and Cicero, who is good at painting but hates waves, have a great influence on the waves as colleagues and competitors.
Meanwhile, Pado falls for Sarasa, a noble lady who is already engaged, and becomes emotionally and physically entangled with several characters, including her fiancé, the merciless knight Blazek, and Crown Princess Idea, a patroness of talented artists.
Impossible feelings and broken relationships change the direction of Pa-do's life and the world of his works.
The characters in this novel are all ordinary and imperfect, so they wander, misunderstand each other, and get in trouble with each other.
The side story "His Face is Behind Her Face" included in this revised edition features the main character Cicero as the main character, and contains his past story that was mentioned in the main story.
Through this side story, readers will learn why Cicero continues to stay in the studio and paint, and will encounter another side of him.
“I am Pado Jordi.
“I will definitely leave my name in the world.”
There are people who have to draw no matter what.
Such people suffer from the pain of creation and even after stopping to paint, they cannot put down the brush and try to capture their stories in their paintings.
Ha Ji-eun's "Rusty Moon" is the story of a genius painter who, despite deciding not to become an artist, couldn't give up his desire to paint and ended up following the path of an artist.
After seeing his father commit suicide while suffering from the pain of creation, young Padowo vows to himself that he will never become an artist or show his paintings to others.
However, with the encouragement and persuasion of those who recognized his talent, he eventually entered the Rajan workshop as an apprentice and became the disciple of Baekri, who was losing his sight.
There, Wave meets several painters, envies and admires their talents, and grows as a painter.
You may fall into a heartbreaking love that can never last, and then fall into a period of depression because you cannot handle it.
What can waves leave behind in this painful life?
