<Story>
Yuna, a 14-year old lives in Honedera, Ichinoseki City in Iwate Prefecture, which has been miraculously protected in a form almost similar to the scenery 800 years ago.
At the funeral for Yuna’s grandma, her grandpa insists that he wants to make mochi in the traditional method, using a wooden mallet and mortar. Her family attempts to persuade him, saying that similarly delicious mochi can be made without all that trouble using a machine, but grandpa is insistent on doing it the old-fashioned way. Yuna feels the sensitiveness of her grandpa's heart and gently cuddles.
The closing of junior high school was decided due to the decrease in the number of students, and the school disappeared after the last year.
Yuna's world is constantly changing, and everything is lost from herself and she is worried about moving away.
In order to leave the words, traditions, and emotions born in this land and people in their original form, they are produced in a hybrid form of fiction that is as close to non-fiction as possible. The freshness of living in the “now” that radiates will shake your heart, and living in a land with a deep and strong culture and history will ask us something important.<Staff>
