[00:23] Hime     It's December in the city of Tajimi. [00:26] Hime     The weather's quite wintry now. [00:29] Hime     We're surrounded by mountains, [00:30] Hime     which means that the summers get hot     and the winters are piercingly cold. [00:39] Hime     That's why we use hot water     for the pottery wheel. [00:44] Hime     It balances out with the     coolness of the clay, [00:46] Hime     creating a uniquely comfortable feeling. [01:08] Nao     A never-ending loop of coning up and down. [01:12] Mik     I was wondering about that, too. [01:13] Mik     Like, how long are you going to do that?! [01:16] Hime     I totally lost track of time. [01:17] Tou     That happens sometimes. [01:20] Mik     Looks like the "Runruu" isn't coming. [01:26] Hime     Runruu... [01:31] Hime     It's from Ximena-san. [01:33] Mik     What does it say? [01:34] ---     Let's see... [01:36] Hime     Oh, nice! [01:38] Mik     But what does it say? [01:39] Hime     She said, "I finally finished my piece.      You should come and see!" SIGN    Found It! [03:19] Hime     And that's how all of us ended up     at Ximena-san's studio on Tuesday, [03:24] Hime     when the Kokeigama dojo is closed. [03:27] Mena     Thanks for coming! [03:29] Mena     Come on in. [03:31] Hime     So your piece is under this? [03:34] Mena     ¡Sí! [03:35] Mena     Here I go! [03:37] Mena     ¡Uno, dos, tres! [03:41] All     Wow! [03:44] Hime     These are amazing!     They're so colorful and powerful! [03:48] Mik     These will make mealtime fun! [03:50] Hime     Can we pick them up? [03:52] Mena     Go ahead. [03:55] Hime     It feels so nice in my hands. [03:58] Nao     So many suns everywhere. [04:00] Mena     I wanted to express how     anything put into these dishes [04:04] Mena     is a blessing from the sun. [04:06] Tou     You used the sun as your motif! [04:09] Mena     That's right! [04:10] Mena     I love the sun and I love heat. [04:13] Mena     It's the fuente, the source of vitality. [04:17] Hime     What's that small set over there? [04:19] Mik     Right? That is so cute. [04:22] Mena     This is for making offerings. [04:26] Mena     When I came to Japan, I learned about     the nice custom of putting food out [04:31] Mena     for deceased family members. [04:33] Mena     But it seemed so sad to just have     one bowl on the family altar, [04:36] Mena     with no side dishes at all. [04:38] Mena     I thought it would be more fun if they had     all the same plates as everyone else. [04:40] Hime     I see. [04:42] Mika     So that's why you have the     same set, just smaller. [04:46] Mika     That's so nice! [04:50] Hime     It is. [04:53] Hime     It's really nice! [04:58] Hime     Every time I take an offering     to our family altar, [05:04] Hime     I also feel that my mother     might be kind of lonely. [05:07] Mena     Right, right? [05:08] Mena     I made these thinking that     I wanted to eat together [05:11] Mena     with my beloved abuelita, my grandmother. [05:15] Tou     Just looking at these     miniature dishes is fun, [05:18] Tou     and I think it's a wonderful concept. [05:22] Hime     You're going to sell these in     the showroom next door, right? [05:26] Mena     Oh, no way. [05:28] Mena     They said it will be at least another     two or three years before I can do that. [05:32] Hime     Oh I see... That's too bad. [05:35] Mena     But I'll try my best to get there faster. [05:38] Mena     Keep an eye on me! [05:42] Hime     But these are so cute... [06:05] Nao     Hime-chan, do you still have some time? [06:08] Hime     Huh? SIGN    Café Tokishirou [06:11] Toki     I've been wondering about something. [06:15] Toki     How is she doing? Is she     able to spread her wings? [06:18] Teach     She seems to be doing fine. [06:20] Teach     It seems that lately she's only     coning her clay up and down [06:23] Teach     and can't seem to really move forward. [06:24] Grand     Oh, my. [06:27] Toki     I wonder if I turned her into someone     who can't really let out her true self... [06:33] Grand     What? [06:34] Kusa     What's that supposed to mean? [06:37] Toki     I asked a lot of her at a time     when she wanted to play the most, [06:41] Toki     and now holding back has     become normal for her... [06:49] (Flashback) Toki     Limited-time-only sale... [06:50] (Flashback) Toki     Limited-time-only sale... [06:52] (Flashback) Toki     Himeno? [06:53] (Flashback) Hime     Hey, dad! [06:56] (Flashback) Toki     Did you... [06:58] (Flashback) Hime     I did! [07:00] (Flashback) Hime     The last half-off chicken is mine! [07:02] (Flashback) Toki     Nice! [07:05] Toki     Even back in middle school. [07:07] Toki     You would think she'd want     to be out with friends, [07:09] Toki     but instead, she was always     helping out around the house. [07:11] Toki     I think that's also why she     joined the home economics club. [07:16] Grand     You think so? [07:19] Toki     I'm glad she's turned out     so considerate, but... [07:23] Toki     I think that might be the reason that she     can't make a piece to put on that shelf. [07:28] Grand     You're overthinking it! [07:29] Grand     That girl is so strong. [07:32] Kusa     Hey, you should be having this conversation     at a parent-teacher conference. [07:36] Toki     You are completely right! I am sorry. [07:39] Toki     What would you like to drink next? [07:42] Teach     I'll take a highball, on the strong side. [07:46] Hime     Wow, it's so bright! [07:54] Hime     The lights are so pretty! [07:56] Nao     And even prettier during     cherry blossom season! [07:59] Hime     Really? Then I'm looking forward     to next year's spring. [08:06] Nao     So here I go. [08:09] Nao     This might sound impertinent, but     I think you should make a mug next. [08:15] Hime     Huh? [08:17] Nao     I don't think you've realized it, [08:20] Nao     but the only thing you     haven't made yet is a mug. [08:25] Hime     Somewhere in my heart, I had thought     that if I made the same item as my mom, [08:30] Hime     I could never compete with her... [08:32] Hime     Even though there's no reason     to think of it like that. [08:36] Nao     I was always thinking that those were     something really special to you. [08:41] HIme     Yeah. [08:42] Nao     But I think you could make one now. [08:45] Nao     One made by Hime-chan, according to     Hime-chan, a Hime-chan colored mu-choo! [08:51] Hime     Oh geez, Nao-chan, you're too cute! [08:57] Hime     But you're right. [09:02] Hime     I feel like I could make one now. [09:05] Hime     Thank you, Nao-chan. [09:06] Nao     I didn't do anything. [09:23] Hime     I'm home— [09:24] Teach     Welcome back. [09:26] Kusa     Heya. [09:27] Hime     Oh, hello! [09:29] Kusa     It's been a while. [09:30] Hime     Grandma, I'll change and     then I can take your place. [09:33] Grand     Really? Well, thank you. [09:38] Hime     Wow, it's really a party in here. [09:40] Teach     I mean, this is my third one! [09:43] Toki     We were talking about that time when     your mother made that monument. [09:47] Hime     Really? [09:49] Kusa     The first time you saw that monument,     you wrote a poem about it. [09:53] Hime     A poem? [09:54] Teach     What are you talking about? [09:56] Toki     Oh, yeah! I remember that!     You were in the literature club. [10:00] Hime     Oh, you were in the literature club! [10:02] Teach     No, we're done! [10:03] Teach     This topic is done! [10:05] Hime     So what kind of poem was it? [10:06] Teach     I said, it's over! [10:08] Toki     Why, though? [10:09] Toki     I liked it. [10:11] Toki     "Wings born in the wind," [10:13] Toki     "I have become an angel." [10:16] Teach     Senpai, stop right there, or I'll     never set foot in this store again. [10:20] Toki     I'm sorry, I'm sorry! [10:21] Hime     Is this the "cringey past"     you mentioned before? [10:32] Teach     I don't really know... [10:35] Teach     Looking back now, it seems like     I was just hyped up late at night [10:39] Teach     and completely made light of literature... [10:45] Teach     It's embarrassing because all I did was     naïvely write down my unfiltered emotions. [10:49] Kusa     That happens a lot with teenagers. [10:52] Kusa     But it's impressive that you got over     that and became a Japanese teacher. [10:57] Teach     This! [10:58] Teach     You never know which way     someone's going to go. [11:01] Teach     I never even thought about becoming a     teacher until the second year of high school. [11:05] Hime     So how did that even happen? [11:08] Teach     Well, one of my friends who was working     on the school's literature anthology [11:11] Teach     included one of my pieces without asking. [11:15] Teach     I didn't feel confident     about that poem at all. [11:18] Teach     It was just something where     I put my feelings down on the page [11:21] Teach     without any decoration. [11:24] Teach     But despite of that, it became     something special inside me. [11:31] Teach     Our Japanese teacher read it and     she gave me some earnest praise. [11:36] Teach     She said the way I considered my     subject was so gentle and good. [11:44] Teach     That gave me some confidence and it inspired     me to not just write from the gut, [11:49] Teach     but to actually study writing. [11:52] Teach     That was what led me to become a teacher. [11:55] Teach     My goal now is to try to     be like that teacher; [11:58] Teach     I hope to find a small seed of greatness     and help my students foster that. [12:05] Kusa     You should be grateful to that friend who exposed [12:07] Kusa     your embarrassing poem to everybody. [12:09] Teach     You had to put it that way! [12:11] Kusa     But it's true, though. [12:13] Kusa     Showing someone your stuff is important. [12:17] Kusa     That will broaden your horizon. [12:20] Teach     That's true. [12:21] Kusa     Another oolong tea, please. [12:23] Toki     Coming right up. [12:25] Hime     That's it. [12:27] Hime     That's exactly it. [12:29] Hime     I'm starting to see it! [12:37] Hime     I got it! [12:39] Hime     I got it! [12:42] Hime     I'm going now! [12:45] Hime     Nao-chan! [12:46] Hime     Nao-chan! [12:47] Nao     Hime-chan? [12:48] Nao     What's up? [12:48] Hime     Morning! Let's run, Nao-chan! [12:51] Nao     But why? [12:52] Hime     Just because! [13:00] Hime     Suddenly a lot of things have     started moving inside me. [13:05] Hime     Here I go! [13:06] Hime     I'm going to make that mug! [14:24] dam     The bob-haired girl is being weird. SIGN    Mini-Mini Pottery Club [14:27] dam     But I've got a good feeling     about this weird. [14:31] dam     Don't fret, father. [14:33] dam     Next time, "Freedom, Future, Sparkle." SIGN    Next Time: SIGN    Freedom, Future, Sparkle [14:36] dam     I don't know why, but for some     reason, my soul's on fire!
