The Garden of Words

Finished

言の葉の庭

Takao Akizuki is a high school student who dreams of becoming a shoemaker. On rainy mornings, he skips class to sketch shoe designs in a quiet Japanese-style garden in Tokyo. There he meets Yukino, an older woman with a melancholic air who sits alone, drinking beer and watching the rain.

Without exchanging names or making plans, the two begin to meet again and again, always on rainy days. Through their quiet conversations, they gradually open up to each other and find comfort in one another's company, sharing their fears and uncertain futures.

But the rainy season is coming to an end, and with it the moments they have shared. As the weather clears, both must face the feelings they have been avoiding and decide what path to take next.
