Tomoko Uda

She was transferred from a large bookstore in Osaka to Okinawa and made up her mind to stop working and open a small secondhand bookstore in front of the public market in Naha. However, the shopkeeper thinks that various timings overlapped by chance, which resulted in what she is now. She also thinks that  day-to-day interactions with those who could not meet without the shop are now far more important. It is yarns that mingle with each other to become the pattern of a cloth.
