Nitaboh: Tsugaru Shamisen Shiso Gaibun, NITABOH 仁太坊―津軽三味線始祖外聞

As a child, Nitaroh becomes ill and loses his sight. Despite this setback, he is given his mother's shamisen, which was once used by her for playing music. A blind traveling musician teaches him how to play the instrument's basic techniques. With time, Nitaroh learns from both old and new friends, eventually leading him on a journey that will ultimately make him the founder of the Tsugaru style of shamisen playing.
