On her first day in high school, Himeno introduces herself to the class by lining up the mugs her late mother made; her classmate Mika knows her mothers works, so she takes her to the pottery club.

The club's first hands-on pottery experience in Tajimi is to make mugs; not used to the electric pottery wheel, the girls struggle, but in the end produce pieces sparkling with personality.

While Himeno is engrossed in pottery, Touko yells at Mika for loudly playing with Naoko; Mika then rushes out of the clubhouse, and Touko confesses that she admires Mika for having such a free-spirited imagination.

The club visits a highschool pottery club and are in awe of the works that the students have made; they also share stories from their time in school.

A trip to the museum reveals a variety of mosaic art, followed up by a traditional Japanese candy store with colorful treats and fun photo opportunities.

The members of the pottery club start preparing for the Mino ware contest; Himeno is still agonizing about what to make when the club advisor, Mami, asks her to help in an old school building.
