This is a part of the Sandman series.
I read two remarkable different versions of this same tale. My favorite by far was the narrative fiction with incredible illustrations by Yoshitaka Amano. Although the second tells the same story, it does so in graphic novel (comic) format which makes for a somewhat disjointed, and certainly less aesthetically pleasing, rendition. The Dream Hunters is a story of love, self-sacrifice, honor, responsibility, and greed, and portrays respect for, and intimate understanding of, Japanese tradition, culture, and storytelling.
