[00:00] Mik
    Did you all have a lot to eat?
[00:03] Bear
    Yes!
[00:04] Mouse
    Yes!
[00:06] All
    Yeah!
[00:07] Rabbit
    Then it's time to make tea and have sweets!
[00:09] Mik
    We've got all kinds of sweets!
[00:12] Tan
    I highly recommend the baumkuchen!
[00:14] Hen
    It's really soft! Everybody raves about it!
[00:18] Ele
    It's one tasty trunk!
[00:20] MIk
    Everyone, time to go into the kiln!
[00:22] All
    Yay!
[00:25] Mik
    Come back safe, okay?
[00:27] Mik
    Of course! I can't wait to go into the kiln!
[00:30] Him
    What are you mumbling about over here?
[00:32] Mik
    Nothing! I'm just trying to inject some soul
    into my pieces by giving them a back story!
[00:36] Him
    Is that so?
[00:38] Nao
    Playing house.
[00:39] Mik
    Excuse you, Naruse-san!
[00:41] Mik
    I heard loud and clear that
    you said "playing house"!
[00:43] Mik
    What's with the attitude?!
[00:45] Mik
    That's blatantly mean!
[00:48] Tou
    Please be quiet.
[00:50] Tou
    You're causing my fingertips to waver.
[00:53] Mik
    Okay.
[00:56] Him
    She's not kidding around...

[02:50] him
    Touko-senpai and Kukuri-chan are both making
    steady progress on their contest entries.
[03:02] him
    I need to decide what I'm going to make.
[03:11] him
    That spire that my mother made...
[03:19] him
    That didn't mean I actually wanted
    to make something like this...
[03:26] Mik
    Oh wow, you're really making progress!
[03:28] Mik
    Is this a cute little conger eel?
[03:29] Him
    Huh?
[03:31] Him
    Oh, thanks...
[03:32] Mik
    No problem.
[03:35] Him
    You're always coming up with so
    many ideas from cute to bizarre.
[03:39] Mik
    Bizarre?
[03:40] Him
    So what's your secret?
[03:43] Mik
    There's no secret, really.
[03:45] Mik
    I only draw stuff I like,
    and the same goes for molding clay.
[03:48] Mik
    I only make my favorite things!
[03:52] Mik
    You should try drawing the things you love
[03:54] Mik
    or the things that make you excited!
[03:56] Mik
    It might inspire you.
[03:58] Him
    Things I love, huh?
[04:02] Him
    Maybe something like this?
[04:04] Him
    This is good.
[04:06] Mik
    Show me, show me!
[04:10] Mik
    Um...
[04:13] Mik
    I get it! You like to clean!
[04:15] Mik
    That's a cleaning brush!
[04:17] Him
    It's a cream puff...
[04:21] Him
    You guys....
[04:24] Nao
    A sea urchin!
[04:25] Him
    The sun!
[04:26] Mik
    A UFO and a rocket!
[04:28] Him
    A red bell pepper with a shishito pepper!
[04:30] Nao
    A cat's paw!
[04:31] Him
    A rug beater!
[04:34] Mik
    Uhm... uh... a hippo?
[04:36] Him
    It's a sewing machine!
[04:39] Him
    Why are you laughing?!
[04:41] Mik
    Because! This is the hardest test ever.
[04:44] Tou
    Hey! It's very rude to
    laugh at someone's work!
[04:52] Tou
    I can see how family oriented you are.
[04:55] Him
    Huh?
[04:56] Him
    Yeah, I guess so.
[04:59] Tou
    That's the feeling I get
    when I look at these.
[05:02] Tou
    The context theme is "Ideas for including
    Mino Ware in Your Daily Life."
[05:06] Tou
    Something that would be
    wonderful if it existed.
[05:10] Tou
    I'm sure that you will be
    able to find that something.
[05:13] Him
    I-I'll do my best!
[05:16] Tou
    Oh, but this is such a great kappa drawing!
[05:22] Him
    That's my dad...
[05:25] Him
    It's my dad.
[05:27] Tou
    Well, your color work
    is very vivid and nice.
[05:30] Him
    Thank you very much.
[05:40] Him
    Something wonderful for every day, huh...
[05:45] (Flashback) Dad
    It would be nice to have some more
    variety in our smaller plates.
[05:51] (Flashback) Old
    That's true.
[05:56] Him
    Hey, Kukuri-chan! I was wondering
    if you could show me something...
[06:03] Mik
    That's right. When you're
    making a small plate,
[06:05] Mik
    the beginning is just like
    making a cup or bowl.
[06:08] Him
    So I just spread and flatten it, right?
[06:11] Mik
    Then you use this rib to smooth it out.
[06:15] Him
    I'm so nervous...
[06:19] Mik
    Wow! I can't believe it, Hime-chan!
[06:21] Mik
    Good, you're doing good!
    That looks super good!
[06:24] Him
    Really?
[06:25] Nao
    Splendid. Spot on.
[06:29] Him
    And then I just use this piece of
    leather to finalize the edge, right?
[06:33] ---
    Here I go...
[06:37] Nao
    Hime-chan!
[06:38] Him
    I-I'll try it again! If I try
    it again, surely it'll...
[06:43] Him
    They're all flat.
[06:46] Him
    Not even one lucky one...
[06:48] Nao
    I'll buy you an ice cream on the way home.
[06:55] nao
    This year's limited edition is tasty again.
[07:03] Him
    I'm home...
[07:18] Him
    I'm home!
[07:20] Dad
    Welcome back.
[07:21] Him
    I made it pretty strong.
    I'll just leave it here.
[07:23] Dad
    Thank you.
[07:40] Him
    So...
[07:41] Dad
    I guess I'll put these in the back...
[07:53] ---
    Ah! That's hot!
[07:55] Dad
    Oh, what is it? What's wrong?
[07:58] Him
    The cushion...
[07:59] Dad
    I bet it's burning hot, huh?
     It's been drying it in the sun all day.
[08:10] Dad
    The prompt for the contest, huh...
[08:13] Him
    Everyone's so amazing.
[08:15] Him
    Kukuri-chan and Touko-senpai
    are both getting so much done.
[08:27] Him
    If only I could make something like Mom did...
[08:31] Him
    It's not going so well
    at the pottery wheel...
[08:34] Him
    But I can't even think of what
    I could do with hand building.
[08:41] Him
    What the?!
[08:42] Dad
    Look at it!
[08:43] Dad
    So what do you think about this?
[08:45] Him
    What is that supposed to be?
[08:46] Dad
    I left this here back when we moved to Tokyo.
[08:49] Dad
    This really takes me back.
[08:51] Dad
    Your mom made this for me, back when
    I was on the high school baseball team.
[08:56] Dad
    It's a ceramic bat!
[08:58] Him
    A ceramic... bat?
[09:00] Dad
    That's just how she was, if she
    thought of it, she made it.
[09:06] Dad
    Even in second year I was still
    only a substitute player,
[09:09] Dad
    and I thought of quitting, but
    couldn't quite make up my mind.
[09:16] Dad
    And that's when your mom came around,
    right when I was in the dumps.
[09:21] Dad
    She told me that she liked seeing me
    swing the bat around day in and day out
[09:24] Dad
    with such devotion and passion
    even if I wasn't good.
[09:30] Him
    What's this, what's this?
[09:32] Him
    You were so lovey-dovey!
[09:34] Dad
    Right?
[09:37] Dad
    But this is a ceramic bat.
[09:40] Him
    That's heavy!
[09:41] Dad
    You're guaranteed to hurt
    your hips if you swing this.
[09:44] Him
    So it's no good.
[09:45] Dad
    Not to mention, even if you could swing it,
[09:47] Dad
    it would break on contact with the ball.
[09:51] Dad
    But then she got this sparkle in her eye...
[09:54] Dad
    As if she was saying, "With this
    you can become a regular player, right?"
[09:59] Dad
    The whole thing was pretty ridiculous.
[10:01] Dad
    But it certainly cheered me up.
[10:06] Dad
    After that, I went on to
    work behind the scenes.
[10:10] Dad
    I figured, that wasn't a
    bad way to shine.
[10:13] Him
    I see.
[10:16] Dad
    You should hit it with your
    own brand of passion, too.
[10:19] Dad
    You don't know what, but
    you want to create something!
[10:22] Dad
    If you keep that idea with you,
[10:24] Dad
    I'm sure something good will come of it.
[10:26] Him
    I'm struggling because I haven't
    been able to make that work!
[10:32] Him
    But... you're right.
[10:36] Him
    Thank you for listening to me, Dad.
[10:44] Him
    They hardened in their deflated state.
[10:47] Mik
    Don't worry about that! Just try again.
[10:51] Him
    I guess.
[10:54] Him
    Touko-senpai!
[10:55] Tou
    Delivery. Let's take a step back.
[11:17] Him
    Hey, hey, Kukuri-chan! Check this out!
[11:19] MIk
    Huh?
[11:21] Him
    I made them into coasters!
[11:23] Mik
    Oh that's cute! Ceramic coasters!
[11:27] ---
    Hey, what!
[11:29] Him
    Lulu.
[11:30] Mik
    You even put my tanuki on there!
[11:33] Him
    I got carried away.
[11:34] Him
    But Kukuri-chan, this feels
    so nice and coolulu.
[11:38] Mik
    Why are you talking like that?
[11:40] Him
    This feels so nice and coolulu.
[11:48] Him
    I got it.
[11:50] Him
    I got it!
SIGN    Feels so nice and cool
[11:53] Him
    This is what I'm going to make!
[11:56] Mik
    What is "this"?
[11:59] Tou
    Toyokawa-san, what exactly... is that?
SIGN    Feels so nice and cool
[12:03] Him
    Thank you for asking!
[12:06] Him
    This is a ceramic cushion
    for people to sit on!
[12:09] Mik
    A ceramic cushion? That sounds hard, though.
[12:12] Him
    Still, I bet sitting on one must feel good!
[12:15] Tou
    Actually, in the Tang and
    Song dynasties in China,
[12:18] Tou
    they did make ceramic pillows,
    so I think that might work.
[12:23] Him
    Right? If it goes well, I think
    it might be really good!
[12:27] Him
    Even if it's a bit absurd.
[12:29] Mik
    Absurd is good! I want to see your absurd!
[12:32] Him
    I think I'm getting excited now!
[12:35] Mik
    I've been waiting for that.
[12:38] Him
    Kukuri-chan, that tickles!
[12:40] Tou
    I'm glad you finally found
    what you want to make.
[12:43] Tou
    If you want make it so people
    can actually sit on it,
[12:45] Tou
    you'll have to put a lot
    of thought into it though.
[12:48] Him
    Aye, aye! please teach me everything!
[12:50] Tou
    All right!
[12:56] Nao
    They're having fun.
[13:06] Nao
    She put caterpillar treads on her dad?!
