Glass no Shito Deluxe Edition

[Machine Translation] A fairy tale of a legendary lens craftsman and a glass spirit... Juro Karo, a charismatic figure in the theater world, deeply empathized with the world of Miyuki Nakashima's "Star on Earth," which became a big hit as the theme song for NHK's popular program "Project X." He wrote the original story, wrote the script, and acted in this much talked about film! In a corner of the big city, a small factory seems to have been left behind by the times. There, a man is polishing a huge lens with a diameter of 60 cm. His name is Sashichi Ikeya. He is a legendary lens polisher with no equal in the field of lens polishing. However, the factory was on the verge of bankruptcy due to the recession. The managing director, Axekawa, was being hounded by threats day after day. Then one night, something strange happens. A beautiful girl appeared before Ikeya as if she had descended from the heavens. Her name was Yoko. She was the daughter of the glass store where Axekawa had once trained. In order to protect the factory, Yoko recklessly heads for an elementary school submerged at the bottom of a dam lake where there is a special abrasive needed to complete a lens...
