Synopsis:

Set in the historic city of Tajimi, known for its traditional ceramics, the series follows Himeno Toyokawa as she navigates high school life while grappling with the legacy of her late mother, a celebrated potter. Returning to Tajimi after her father's business fails, Himeno seeks connection through her mother's distinctive mugs, hoping to forge friendships. An encounter with Mika and Tooko leads Himeno to the school's Pottery Club, where she uncovers her mother's past contributions to the art form.

The narrative explores themes of familial legacy, artistic passion, and finding belonging within a community. As Himeno delves deeper into pottery, alongside fellow club members Mika and Naoko, she confronts both personal expectations and the challenge of honoring her mother’s artistic vision while discovering her own creative path. The anime offers a thoughtful look at tradition, innovation, and the quiet dedication found in craftsmanship.
