Summary of Suzume no Tojimari
Suzume, a 17-year-old girl living in a quiet town in Kyushu, meets a young traveler who tells her, “I’m looking for a door.” She follows him and discovers a worn door in the ruins of the mountains, as if it were the only thing left from a collapse. As if drawn by something, Suzume approaches the door… It doesn’t take long for one door after another to open in different parts of Japan. Since disasters come from the other side of doors, open doors must be closed. The stars, the setting sun and the morning sky: in this place he entered was a sky that seemed to constantly mix. Guided by the mysterious Gates, Suzume’s “Gate Closing Journey” begins.
