Night after night, as she weaves a long silk strand, Grandmother tells her granddaughter Yasuyo stories from her long life. Then one day Grandmother is gone. Saddened, Yasuyo walks in the garden. There she finds a beautiful and puzzling sight --a long silk strand hanging from the sky. Only when she climbs the silk strand to the top of the clouds does Yasuyo learn its true meaning.
