Yuko-chan, an adventurous orphan who is blind, is on a mission to help people in a neighboring village when she trips and tumbles down a snowy cliff. While waiting for help, she notices that the gourd containing her tea always rights itself when tipped over (because the tea is frozen on the bottom). Using this idea, she creates the famous Daruma doll, a representation to never give up, no matter the obstacles!
