Summary: "The Shamisen is a traditional Japanese musical instrument
that has three strings and is plucked with a plectrum. A unique style of
Shamisen playing is Tsugaru-jamisen originated from Tsugaru, in the
northern prefecture of Aomori. The man said to be the last master of
Tsugaru-jamisen , Chikuzan Takahashi died in February 1998 at the
age of 87. Blind since two years old, Chikuzan's livelihood and passion
had a single focus - the Tsugaru-jamisen. Nearing the end of his life,
Chikuzen courgeously began a serise of comeback performances.
Despite the fact he had developed his cancer of larynx, he continued
to play for the love of the music and for the sudience's enjoyment.
This program unravels the life and inspiration if this great oerformer
using interviewa and testimonies of those who were closest to him". -
