Description:
* An original short selected as part of http://anidb.net/cr12306 [JAniCA]`s Young Animator Training Project.
http://anidb.net/ch28228 [Tatsunosuke] is an orphan child who does several odd jobs in his village in order to earn a living. When running one of these odd jobs, he gets the chance to visit the city, and there he witnesses one of the products of Japan`s modernization, the lamp, in action. He sees it as a business opportunity and manages to take one home, which he promptly sells and even takes orders for. Soon he establishes a small business as a lamp seller, and marries his childhood sweetheart http://anidb.net/ch28224 [Setsu], but just when all was going fine and he formed a lovely family which he had to look after, modernization takes a step further, and electricity-powered light threatens to sweep him away from business. Faced with the risk of losing the income that feeds his wife and children, Tatsunosuke is forced into a corner which would become his greatest obstacle to date.
