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 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.
