After an embarrassing public incident, a calligrapher sets off for an island in the country. There, hemeets a young girl who introduces him to a world he has never seen before.

Handa just wants to work on his calligraphy, but the carefree residents of the island have other ideas - which ends up putting him in the hospital!

Handa submits his latest piece of calligraphy to an exhibition, only to be awarded a "disappointing" second place.  Meanwhile, daily life on the island continues.

Miwa�۪s father strong-arms Handa into writing the name on his ship; in the process, Handa gains a new perspective on his approach to calligraphy.

With the next exhibition closing in, Handa is asked to take the kids swimming, where he finds out that there's more to life than just calligraphy.

An unexpected guest named Kanzaki arrives to throw Handa for a loop; Handa�۪s response is informed by his time with the people of the island.

Handa�۪s guests spend their last day on the island going fishing. Handa learns that he can inspire others just as he has been inspired.

Handa experiences summer on the island, and sees a different side of Naru when he joins her in paying a visit to her family grave.

With the Narukain exhibit closing in, Handa is starting to feel the pressure again. He gains the inspiration to write his work, but...

After completing his submission, Handa turns his attention to the island and its residents; Naru gets a surprise when she goes to pay Handa a visit.

Handa is back in Tokyo for an important meeting. When he really starts feeling the pressure, he finds comfort in an unexpected phone call.

With a few more loose ends to tend to, Handa is ready to go back to the island. Smiling faces and open arms await Handa's return.
