Yaku nara Mug Cup mo: Niban Gama

The Mino ware competition is over, but Himeno Toyokawa's desire to create has only grown stronger. Her father gives that ambition a concrete challenge when he asks her to make a new piece that can become the centerpiece of the family café. The request sounds simple until Himeno realizes how difficult it is to create something that feels truly her own while carrying the memory of her late mother's pottery. Searching for inspiration, she and her friends return to the places, people, and small discoveries that first made clay meaningful to them. As the wheel keeps turning, Himeno begins to understand that improving as an artist is not only about making something more impressive, but about knowing what she wants her work to say.
