That Person, That Day

Overview

Two brothers are born into a kiln-owning family in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture. Though they both honed their craft, it was the younger brother, not the elder who inherited the family kiln. Their father, a skilled overglaze painter, lived selfishly and paid no attention to his family. Will these three estranged men ever reconnect? The traditional kiln now faces a crisis. Amid this, a mother and daughter, victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake arrive at their doorstep. Through Arita-yaki (Arita porcelain), emotional connections, conflicts, and reflections arise, eventually leading to new realizations.
