[00:06] Him
    There's not even a breeze.
[00:09] Nao
    It's starting to feel like
    a real Tajimi summer.
[00:12] You
    It really is.
[00:13] Mik
    Should I turn on the A/C?
[00:15] Koi
    Yoohoo!
[00:17] Koi
    I brought goodies!
[00:19] All
    Oh, yeah!
SIGN    The Garden of Sky and Wind
[01:56] Him
    It's like I've got a new lease on life!
[01:58] Koi
    I know, right?
[01:59] Koi
    I ate these all the time
    back when I was in my school club.
[02:02] Mik
    What club were you in?
[02:04] Koi
    That's a secret.
[02:05] Koi
    It's kind of embarrassing.
[02:08] Koi
    A double hit!
[02:10] Koi
    Anyway, this is more important.

[02:12] Koi
    It's this year's announcement
    for the 41st Mino ware contest.
[02:17] Tou
    Thank you!
[02:20] Him
    Touko-senpai mentioned that earlier.
[02:23] (Flashback) tou
    Now you're officially part
    of the pottery club.
[02:26] (Flashback) tou
    I can't wait to see what you'll
    make for the fall contest.
[02:31] Mik
    It's finally time!
[02:33] Tou
    The pottery club participates
    in this contest every year.
[02:36] Tou
    The results are gathered and then announced
    at the arts and culture festival.
[02:40] Tou
    I'm going to put up the entire schedule,
[02:42] Tou
    so everyone think about
    what you want to make.
[02:45] MIk
    Yeah!
[02:46] Tou
    It's not just fun and games, though.
[02:48] Tou
    You need to think about a proper theme.
[02:49] MIk
    I know. Maybe I'll enter
    in the project category.
[02:54] Him
    What's the project category?
[02:55] Him
    You won't be submitting a piece?
[02:57] Nao
    The project category's theme is "Ideas for
    including Mino Ware in Your Daily Life."
[03:01] Nao
    Home run!
[03:02] Nao
    Basically, you can do whatever you want.
[03:04] Nao
    You can make something,
[03:05] Nao
    but you can also submit a presentation
    of your idea without a physical item.
[03:08] Nao
    This means even people who don't have access
[03:11] Nao
    to pottery-making equipment can participate.
[03:14] Him
    Wow, you really know your stuff, Nao-chan!
[03:17] Nao
    I am a Tajimist after all.
[03:20] Him
    Oh, yeah. I guess everyone who's
    grown up here has an advantage.
[03:25] Him
    Now I feel kind of anxious.
[03:27] Koi
    Aoki-san, do you know
    what you're going to do?
[03:30] Tou
    I'd like to perfect the big
    plates I've been practicing.
[03:34] Tou
    Something to use when you
    have a lot of people over,
[03:37] Tou
    right at the edge of almost being too big.
[03:39] Mik
    Then maybe I'll make a bunch of
    little guys to invite to the party!
[03:43] Tou
    That sounds like a lot of fun!
[03:44] Mik
    You're not allowed to collaborate.
[03:46] Him
    Lucky... you guys already
    know what you want to do.
[03:50] Koi
    It might be a contest, but just
    have fun while making pottery as usual.
[03:54] him
    Huh...
[03:55] Mik
    But, Sensei! Having fun with it
    like we normally do isn't enough!
[03:58] Koi
    It's not?
[04:00] MIk
    You have to have way more fun than usual!
[04:03] Him
    She's right! We've got to give it
    our best and have fun doing it.
[04:06] Nan
    Good luck!

[04:29] Dad
    Himeno!
[04:31] Him
    Coming...
[04:34] Him
    Yes?
[04:35] Koi
    Hiya.
[04:36] Him
    Sensei!
[04:37] Dad
    Here is your shandygaff.
[04:40] Him
    Oh, right. Tonight's the night
    you're starting to serve alcohol.
[04:43] Koi
    Cheers.
[04:46] Him
    We've got to commemorate our first customer!
[04:50] Old
    Thank you for waiting!
[04:52] Old
    Chicken wings and oyster meunière.
[04:57] Koi
    That looks delicious!
[04:58] Koi
    Thank you!
[05:00] Him
    You turned that around really
    quickly since you had the idea.
[05:03] Old
    Well, one of my online gaming
    friends is a café-bar consultant.
[05:09] Old
    We had a talk and they gave
    me all sorts of tips.
[05:12] Him
    I see.
[05:13] Him
    Wait, you play online games?!
[05:16] Old
    Yeah, I've been playing them for
    about twenty years now.
[05:24] Koi
    I asked your dad to call you down here,
    but I still haven't asked you.
[05:28] Koi
    Do you have any plans for tomorrow?
[05:30] Him
    Not particularly...
[05:32] Koi
    I was wondering if you could
    help me organize some materials.
[05:35] Him
    Materials?
[05:36] Koi
    The museum for local works behind our school
[05:38] Koi
    is planning to add a youth pottery section.
[05:42] Koi
    They were asking if a pottery club student
    could help them prepare.
[05:45] Him
    I'm free tomorrow.
[05:47] Koi
    Then it's settled.
    Tomorrow, ten in the morning.
[05:50] Koi
    Meet me in front of the pottery room.
[05:51] Him
    Okay!
[05:52] Koi
    That was close! I almost forgot.
SIGN    Café Tokishirou
[05:55] Koi
    I'll take a craft beer next.
[06:04] Him
    It's another windless day.
[06:07] Koi
    Toyokawa-san.
[06:08] HIm
    I'm here!
[06:10] Koi
    I'm sorry to ask you on your day off.
[06:12] Him
    It's not a problem.
[06:13] Him
    So it's behind the pottery room?
[06:16] Koi
    There's a shortcut.
[06:19] HIm
    I didn't know about this back entrance.
[06:21] Koi
    It's a relic from before the war,
    when our school was a pottery school.
[06:25] Him
    Really?
[06:26] Him
    I never knew this was
    behind the pottery club room.
[06:29] Koi
    It's part of the school, so it's normal to
    not notice it, even if it's in plain sight.
[06:33] Koi
    The climbing kiln
    behind the pottery club room
[06:37] Koi
    belonged to the potter
    who used to live here.
[06:39] Koi
    It's registered as one of the
    city's cultural treasures.
[06:42] Koi
    That's also why the club
    can't be shut down easily.
[06:45] Him
    So that's the trick.
[06:47] Koi
    The students who want to
    make a career out of pottery
[06:49] Koi
    end up going to the technical high school.
[06:52] Koi
    Students like Aoki-san are quite rare.
[06:57] Koi
    Let's see...
[06:59] Koi
    I'm going to meet some
    people from the town hall,
[07:01] Koi
    and then I'll head over to the museum.
[07:02] Koi
    You head that way and go
    around the other way.
[07:06] Koi
    The scenery is really lovely.
[07:08] Him
    See you later!
[07:15] Him
    A kappa?
[07:19] Him
    That's so cute.
[07:21] Him
    A ceramic kappa.
[07:23] Him
    Oh! Here, too!
[07:28] Him
    Wow...
[07:30] Him
    This is so amazing!
[07:32] Him
    You can see all of Tajimi!
[07:37] Him
    This is what Sensei must have meant
    when she said the scenery is lovely.
[07:45] Him
    What... was that sound?
[07:48] Him
    Is it coming from over there?
[07:52] Him
    Another kappa?
[08:00] Him
    Over there, too!
[08:06] Him
    Wind?!
[08:47] Him
    Is this... pottery?
[08:50] Him
    It looks like it could suck you in.
[08:55] Him
    This color...
[09:11] Koi
    Toyokawa-san!
[09:14] Koi
    Over here!
[09:18] Him
    So this is the museum for local works.
[09:22] Iso
    Nice to meet you. I'm from the
    Tajimi City Hall. My name is Isomura.
[09:26] Him
    I'm Toyokawa Himeno!
[09:28] Iso
    This building has a long history,
[09:30] Iso
    so the town has been discussing for a
    long time how to use the space,
[09:33] Iso
    but no plans have really solidified.
[09:35] Iso
    Any time there was a proposal
    at a city council meeting,
[09:37] Iso
    it would just lose momentum,
    again and again.
[09:41] Iso
    But last year, we finally decided
    to make this a youth pottery museum.
[09:46] Iso
    Oh, right.
[09:48] Iso
    Did you see that monument?
[09:51] Him
    I did!
[09:52] Him
    It was really spectacular.
[09:54] Him
    That color really pulls you in...
[09:56] Iso
    The person who made it
    actually died quite young.
[10:00] Iso
    This year marks the tenth year
    since that happened.
[10:03] Iso
    Her name was Tokigawa Himena-san.
[10:06] Him
    Wait, my mom made that?
[10:10] Iso
    Huh?
[10:11] Koi
    I'm sorry, Senpai. This is actually
    Tokigawa Himena-san's daughter.
[10:15] Iso
    Wow, really? That's incredible!
[10:18] Iso
    And you're actually making pottery as well!
[10:21] Him
    I... I just started!
    I can't do anything yet!
[10:25] Iso
    I'm so excited now!
[10:27] Iso
    Your mother's monument back
    there was instrumental
[10:29] Iso
    to the decision to preserve
    and reuse this building.
[10:32] Him
    It was?
SIGN    Pottery Club Journal
[10:38] Koi
    Even stuff like this was archived, huh?
[10:40] Iso
    We were just looking for pottery by this town's
    young people that left a mark on history.
[10:49] Him
    It's all recorded...
[10:53] Him
    Wow, this is the same form as the monument.
[10:57] Koi
    You found it?
[10:58] Koi
    Take a look at the next page, too.
[11:04] Him
    Are these production notes?
SIGN    Why I want to make this
SIGN    Because I discovered that place!
    Because I skipped class to go explore!
    When I went to explore, I was like, "what is this place?!"
    It seemed to me like the Garden of Sky and Wind,
    and it made me want to make something there that will soothe everyone!
[11:07] Him
    "Why I want to make this"?
[11:12] Koi
    That's your mother's handwriting.
[11:15] Him
    "Why I want to make this."
[11:17] Him
    "Because I discovered that place!"
[11:20] Him
    "Because I skipped class to go explore!"
[11:25] Koi
    She really was a free spirit.
[11:27] Him
    "When I went to explore,
    I was like, 'what is this place?!'"
[11:30] Him
    "It seemed to me like
    the Garden of Sky and Wind,"
[11:32] Him
    "and it made me want to make something
    there that will soothe everyone!"
[11:36] Iso
    Even then, that's not something a
    high schooler would normally make.
[11:40] Iso
    Not to mention, on land that
    indisputably belongs the city.
[11:45] Him
    Mom...
[11:47] Iso
    Her vitality was incredible.
[11:49] Iso
    In the end, she even convinced
    the city council as well.
[11:54] Iso
    She gives a more serious
    answer in this article.
SIGN    A high schooler's
     magnum opus!
[11:57] Iso
    When asked about her motivation
    for the piece, she said:
[12:01] Iso
    "I got the urge to show everyone the
    color and the voice of the wind."
[12:26] Him
    I wonder how she managed
    to create that color.
[12:31] Dad
    Oh, so you saw it?
[12:34] Him
    Yeah! It was so light and beautiful,
[12:37] Him
    and depending on the light,
    it would shift in so many ways!
[12:41] Him
    It made me want to look at it forever!
[12:44] Dad
    Yeah.... I felt the same.
[12:49] Him
    Mom, I felt the wind's color and voice.
[12:54] Him
    You're really amazing, Mom.
[12:58] Him
    I decided that I'm going
    to stop worrying so much
[13:03] Him
    and just look for the thing
    I want to make with pottery.
[13:07] Him
    Thank you, Mom!
