Title Synopsis:

SKETCHBOOK
A high school girl, Sora Kajiwara, joins the art club. Sora carries around a sketchbook to wherever she goes, in order to capture cherished moments. She asks herself, "If I really wanted to remember the moments in everyday life, and to seize every moment of all the events that happen, why not use a camera or video camera?" However, it just isn't the same. What's not shot, what's not spoken, what's not heard, but what is left in her drawings; which flourishes and blooms inside her heart.

Those who are a bit tired of the busy everyday life will enjoy rediscovering the beauty of ordinary things such as animals, plants, and the changing colors and scenery of the sky.
