Driven by the memory of a deep shade of blue he cannot forget, Watanabe dedicates his life to the pursuit of recreating Japan’s most perfect shade of indigo. For years he tries to understand the unique alchemy of factors that will bring forth his ideal hue until fate introduces him to Kato, a young artisan who is colorblind. Together, they uncover a new way to see blue beyond just color.
