Based on a book of the same name.A stop-motion anime about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. A 6 year old girl named Hiro-chan gets burned by the bomb while playing with a local laughing Jizo statue. While crying out her mothers name she also begged for water. Suddenly the Jizo statue's face became that of an angry expression and tears started flowing from its eyes which Hiro-chan was able to drink.
The 25 minute film tells the tale of an ailing elderly woman named Itako who encounters a fox named Okon.
The story opens with Itako lying bedridden, as she has for a long time. Okon enters her home and Itako tells the fox that he is welcome to take anything that he wants, for she has no use for anything anymore. Okon is delighted and in order to return the favour (the act of ongaeshi), Okon performs a magic jyōruri (a ballad with shamisen accompaniment) that heals Itako so that she is fit enough to walk again. Everyone is surprised by Itako's sudden recovery. She then hears of a hunter who has been badly injured and is near death. Itako hides Okon in the back of her shirt and has the fox sing the song while she plays shamisen in order to heal the man. This act of kindness is repeated for others until Itako's good fortune leads some to be suspicious of her.

Graduation work of Man Wei from Musashino Art University.
In ”I Remember” the juxtaposition of art styles was not only used as a narrative device, but also directly and organically as part of the story itself. The characteristics of animation was used to create an indirect metaphor for growth through the changes in painting style.
As the style of the painting changed, a story is told from a childhood dream of becoming a painter, and information is collected from the dream about people, places, and incidents related to these memories. As a result of this process, a childhood was painted in a style of its own incorporating the past and the gradual shift in style as they grow up.
