It is the vivid blue that makes this cemetery look so lively. Some say it’s the radiant blue of heaven where souls of the deceased depart after death, while others even talk about the vivid blue known today as “Sapanta blue” as reflecting images of devotion, truth and wisdom. Well, when the craftsman himself was asked about what inspired it, he replied plainly: “the sky”.

"... the style is very much cinematographic, that of a "director manqué", quite pictorial, using strong visualisations, colourful, a bit like a display of watercolours in an exhibition, following some narrative sense. The writing is also devoid of fake romanticism. Instead it is candid, humorous at times and intuitive. But the key to this novel is really my attempt to capture the ephemeral and render it everlasting"
