The Life of Chikuzan

竹山ひとり旅

Also known as Chikuzan hitori tabi, Aus dem Leben Chikuzans

After over 50 years of wandering up and down Japan, finally in the 1970s, the rough-hewn blind shamisen player and folk-song collector named Takahashi Chikuzan became a musical sensation. This biographical drama chronicles his wanderings and his life, with a particular focus on his humble beginnings as a peasant on a remote and arid island.
