Baa-chan

Nobuo’s grandmother is a vibrant force of nature, with a wild shock of silver hair that always seems to have a life of its own. Her warm, crinkled smile is like a magnet, drawing everyone in for hugs that feel like home. Dressed in colorful, mismatched patterns, she has a knack for making even the most ordinary day feel like a celebration. Her kitchen is a fragrant wonderland filled with the savory scents of her famous dumplings and sweet red bean pastries. Always ready with a story or a bit of silly wisdom, she’s the heart and soul of the family.
