Urushi Uruhashi

Synopsis

Mihiro Kanayama is a third-year high school student who aspires to become a lacquer craftsman. He is given a challenge by his grandfather, who tells him to create while thinking about the person who he is creating for, but the meaning doesn't quite click. Then, he encounters Tsumugi Fukaya, a woman working at an inn. Pure emotions bloom within a young man dedicated to traditional craftsmanship. Though he may be clumsy in his determined perseverance, this young boy's efforts are admirable and cool! (Source: Akita Shoten, translated)
