Synopsis:
Set against the backdrop of pre-war Tokyo, this anime follows Toshiko Ei and her family, skilled artisans deeply rooted in their community. Their comfortable existence, built upon her father's reputation as a glass craftsman, is irrevocably altered by the escalating tensions leading to World War II. The narrative explores the gradual erosion of normalcy as societal shifts impact everyday life. We witness the family grapple with mounting hardships and unforeseen challenges, forced to confront loss and resilience in a rapidly changing world. The series offers a poignant portrayal of familial bonds tested by historical upheaval, focusing on quiet strength and adaptation amidst adversity rather than grand action or fantastical elements. It’s an introspective look at how personal lives are shaped by larger global events.
