The Shining Ship

Okada was a middle-age man who had just lost his job and was on the verge of being abandoned by his wife and children. One day, per chance, he met a young man with red-dyed hair floating a model ship in the river. The boy had received this “shining ship” from a strange old man, and seriously believed his life would be reborn if he was able to float the ship out to sea. Okada empathised with these words. Can this ship, riding with the dreams of these two men of two different generations, really make it’s journey out to the distant sea? Filled with humour and pathos, this is a heart warming story filled with hope for the future.
