In the Rural Village of Nagoro

Nagoro is a small village in the Iya Valley on the island of Shikoku in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. During her childhood, the valley was prosperous and the village was full of young people. The Nagoro used to have 300 inhabitants that were being supported through the forest industry and dam construction. She moved away to Osaka from Nagoro when she was younger. However, when she becomes older and returns to Nagoro, the village is not the same anymore as what she remembers during her childhood.
