Synopsis:

This short animation centers around Outafukuko, a woman with a long history intrinsically linked to the culinary traditions of Hiroshima. Set in the aftermath of World War II, it depicts her preparing Issenyousho, a precursor to okonomiyaki, as a communal act of sharing and resilience. The work subtly explores themes of community rebuilding through food, highlighting the role of everyday rituals in shaping cultural identity. The animation's aesthetic evokes a nostalgic atmosphere, drawing from historical context while presenting a uniquely gentle and reflective narrative. It serves as a reunion for key members of the team behind the *Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni* anime film, with Outafukuko’s character design inspired by a figure from another work by the same creator. The piece offers a glimpse into a specific moment in history, viewed through the lens of personal connection and cultural heritage.
