Himeno emménage à Tajimi, dans la préfecture de Gifu, après avoir quitté Tokyo avec son père pour s'installer dans la ville natale de sa mère. Elle va devoir se faire de nouvelles amies et s'habituer à ce nouvel environnement.

Maintenant qu'elle fait partie du club de poterie, Himeno va tenter d'en apprendre plus sur l'histoire de Tajimi et de sa spécialité.

Himeno en apprend tous les jours davantage au sujet de la poterie grâce au club. Pendant ce temps, son père tente lui aussi d'adapter ses plats à sa nouvelle clientèle.

Himeno se plaît bien au club de poterie. Un jour, elle casse le bol de son père auquel il tenait beaucoup. Elle va donc se faire aider de ses amies du club pour tenter de lui en créer un autre à l'identique.

All done with their mock exams, the Himeno-Naoko-Mika trio spot their pottery club advisor Mami by the train station and impulsively decide to tail her. They pass through a forest, walk by a lake and finally reach a mountain. Where exactly is Mami going?!

The members of the pottery club start preparing for the Mino ware contest. Himeno is still agonizing about what to make when the club advisor Mami asks her to help in an old school building. On the way there, beckoned by a strange tune the wind was playing, Himeno discovers a huge ceramic monument...

Himeno still doesn't have a good idea what to make for the contest. When she asks her father, Tokishirou, he gives her the following advice: "I don't know what it is, but I just want to create something! That feeling is important." After hearing that, Himeno gets an idea. What will it be?

The hot, hot summer of Tajimi has arrived, and Himeno, Mika, Naoko, and Touko have a blast in the river trying to catch eel! Then suddenly a kappa appears before them and takes them down to Ryūgū-jō. Inside Ryūgū-jō, a certain person in the form of their high school self is awaiting them...

Now that Himeno settled on the shape of the cushion, she now has to pick the color. However, the vast number of colors overwhelms her and she gets stuck. Seeing that, Naoko grabs Himeno and takes her to a special spot...

Having submitted her piece, Himeno is filled with relief, albeit only for a brief moment: remembering Tokishirou's reaction to the chazuke bowl, she can't stop thinking about the judges' decisions because she wants to have another chance at truly filling her father's heart with joy. Today's finally the day. After being impressed by all the creative pieces, it's finally time for the award ceremony of the contest...

In order to make her father, Tokishirou, happy, Himeno hopes that she can win some sort of prize. What's the result of the contest?! On a later day, Himeno and her friends have a celebration for the contest. Meanwhile, Tokishirou, who had snuck out, couldn't resist sitting on Himeno's ceramic cushion and then...
