Tiny Tales: Haru-tsuge Fish and Fu-rai Boy：Tsuri-bari Fish caught in summer grass

Synopsis

“Tsuri-bari Fish” (the fishing lure) is left stranded in a vast meadow, suspending from a tree branch after its line snaps. While yearning for the shore-fisherman who created it, the little lure has been enduring the passing seasons all alone. However, as spring finally arrives, a chance encounter with “Fu-rai Boy” (The Little Wanderer) and “Haru-tsuge Fish” (The Harbinger of Spring) brings a transformative twist to its lonely fate
