Kiyoko and her husband are ceramists. They live in the city of Shigaraki, in the seventies. No woman was allowed, in those days, to have a kiln of her own. Kiyoko changed not only this, by acquiring her own kiln: she was also pioneer in creating the first bone marrow bank in Japan. Her son, Ken-ichi, had leukemia, and Kiyoko converted her house into a hospital to be able to treat the boy. Based on a true fact. The director was a year writing the script and interviewed the real Kiyoko several times over.
