Teruo Tooyama ( Yoshiyoshi Arakawa ), 29 years old, is working as a non-regular worker in landscape gardening, while living with his father who runs a secondhand bookstore.

During his time off, he enjoys making mechanisms to scare and surprise other people with his friend Hisanobu Komori ( Yoshinori Okada ) who is an office worker.

In one case, she is asked to push the elevator switch for the luggage, but she broke a bone in her forefinger due to impatience.

One day, an antique restoration craftsman named Yuhara ( Naoki Tanaka ) visits the secondhand bookstore.

Akari moves to the old city of Nara with Yuhara, who will learn restoration techniques for Buddhist statues.
