A woman sits at her desk moving matchsticks into new configurations, and somehow this becomes the most meditative thing on television. The show lets you watch her think the same way she thinks, methodical and obsessive, finding order in small wooden pieces until a puzzle clicks into place. You're not waiting for drama. You're waiting for that moment when she steps back from her desk and you understand why someone would spend their life making things just difficult enough to solve.

Tokiko lands a job at Chuukyou Television Broadcasting, a real station, making quizzes, riddles and brain-teasers. Her specialty is matchstick puzzles. Beyond the work of designing these puzzles, the show looks back at her early life, her family and her personality, tracing how her compulsive love of organization led her to this profession. The short episodes offer a slice-of-life portrait of someone whose orderly mind suits her unusual job.
