Totto-Chan adores the street musician, and would run to the window and sing along hearty whenever they passed by. Soon after, the rest of the class will do so and putting a sudden halt to the on-going class.
Totto unhandily lifts the lid of her table and take out a easer from her pencilcase and would immedicately return the easer in the drawer, over a hundred times a day. And drawing does not confine within the boundary of her art paper. Untamable and misconstrued, Totto was asked to leave school.
Without much hopes but fortunately Totto got into a school which operates in a train. As fascinated as having classes in a real train and on a rail, Totto was excited about the activities organized by the school headmaster, Sosaku Kobayashi.
The children are allowed to start their day doing subjects they liked best and their lunches must be a well-balanced, which is something from the ocean, something from the hills.
Activities includes trekking through the cemetery, field cooking, drawing on the hall’s floor, dancing to express oneself.
Unfortunately, World War II invaded Japan, flatten the school and the jolly old headmaster died before he could rebuild his dream & passion.
