S19E1 - A Tiny Universe in the Palm of Your Hand: Honda Tsuneyuki, Toy Developer

Capsule toys are in a record-breaking boom. Parents and children form lines in store corners dedicated to capsule machines. While over 300 new products are created each month, 54-year-old Honda Tsuneyuki has made mega-hit after mega-hit. He's changed the concept of capsule toys, with his masterpiece series "The Diversity of Life on Earth" even used as school teaching materials. He was once pushed out of project development and took a 20-year detour to find his current path in life. The behind-the-scenes of development is revealed for the first time, and a new challenge begins to create a capsule toy of unprecedented size. What goes into making these 7-centimeter spheres?
