Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Kokorowa Rice Cultivation Diary

Two realms exist in the ancient land of Yanato: the Lofty Realm, where gods reside, and the Lowly Realm, where humans reside. Princess Sakuna was the daughter of the god of war and goddess of harvest, but she led a lazy life. One day, she is banished to Hinoe Island, the Isle of Demons. Stranded in a barren land, Sakuna sets out to slay demons and farm rice. Her new adventure begins!

This is the story of the seven-sister unit "Komekami! Girls," children of the rice deity, born from the tradition: "In a single grain of rice, seven gods reside." When their mother (the deity of rice, or the rice-god queen) was called back in haste to the celestial realm and no longer able to return to the earthly realm they search for her traces using Usa City (Oita Prefecture) as their base, and teleport to Hachiman shrines throughout Kyushu island. As they solve local problems, they learn about food, take part in cooking battles, and grow.

Life cut short by illness at just 39 years old, Machio Hiraku knows not to take simple blessings for granted. When a godlike figure gives him given a chance to live again, Hiraku has only the simplest of wishes for his new life: to be healthy, to live peacefully, to speak the local language, and to spend his days on an idyllic farm. Fresh air, sunshine, honest work, and good company combine to form the happy, peaceful existence Hiraku has always dreamed of.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named “Sora”. She loved to sing, but one day, something happened that made her scared to sing in front of others. As days passed, she forgot how to sing, and even how to laugh. Then, one day, she and her little brother “Daichi” stumbled upon a mysterious pond. At a pond called “Kagamiike”: Mirror Pond, Sora discovered a mystical butterfly glowing with aurora colors. As she watched it flutter freely, she suddenly felt a connection. The butterfly’s magical glow seemed to resonate with something deep inside her. Unable to resist, Sora reached out toward the butterfly. But she lost her balance and tumbled headfirst into the pond. Daichi, trying to help her, ended up falling in too... Beyond the surface of the Mirror Pond, a world of wonder and mystery awaited. As Sora and Daichi stared in amazement, a quirky girl named “Rococo” appeared before them. Before long, the three of them set off on an adventure through “The Land of NOMO”. Along the way, Sora begins to face the many feelings she had kept hidden deep within her heart. (Part of Panasonic Group Pavilion project for Expo 2025).
