Every night Grandmother ties together pieces of silk thread, making one long silk strand that she winds into a ball. For each piece of thread, Grandmother tells her granddaughter, Yasuyo, a story from her long life. Then one day Grandmother is gone. Yasuyo weeps & looks for the silk ball to keep in memory of her grandmother. Mysteriously, the ball is missing.
