Two tiny housemates make a living among forest towns, where a beetle can provide transport and ordinary tools become large undertakings.

Hakumei and Mikochi are nine centimetres tall. Their shared home connects practical jobs, food preparation and neighbours across a world built to their scale.

The pair's small size changes the meaning of an ordinary working day. A tree can house a home, an insect can carry passengers, and earning a living still involves customers and supplies. Hakumei's practical work and Mikochi's food and household goods give the setting activities beyond sightseeing. This is a choice for viewers interested in miniature environments and the routines that make them habitable.
