One day, the bees make a fuss about something. The girl lived on a vinyl-covered ship, a little away from the bees and the people who live there. This work portrays the process of the protagonist, who has spent an entire life in a small box, mustering up the courage to try to communicate with others after starting to feel sadness. Many stories may have been born and gone. However, the things that are placed there actually have their own lives and may have various feelings.

This is a work that looks a little at such a small world. I produced the animation representing the history of the fashion of the Japanese woman.
