"Fukufuku Map" is a short animation created as the second brand movie for Fukushima Prefecture's general information magazine "Fukushima Map". The original character designs are by Fumiyo Kouno, who wrote the original for Katabuchi's film ``In This Corner of the World,'' and Kotringo, who also worked on the same work, is in charge of the music. The main character of the story is Sophie, a French philosopher who visits Fukushima Prefecture to attend a friend's wedding. She loses her map in a strange land, and along with a mysterious friend who suddenly appears, she travels around Fukushima with the Fukushima Map in hand. Comments from Kotringo included, ``I created the movie with the feeling of traveling with the main character, Sophie, and feeling the rich nature, inherited culture, and connection of life.''
