A "Goze" is a blind entertainer who travels to various places singing stories while playing the shamisen (Japanese three-stringed lute). The film dramatizes the life of the late Kobayashi Haru, who as the last goze, carried the title of "Intangible cultural asset" of Japan. Becoming a goze due to her blindness at seven-years-old, Haru was strictly trained with a parent's affection by her once kind mother, Tome. Haru, failing to notice her mother's kindness, sets out on a provincial tour with Master Fuji at the age of eight. She is given the strength to survive as a goze by the ill-tempered Master Fuji, and the heart of a goze by Master Sawa, ultimately growing to become a goze on her own. (Source: JFDB) Edit Translation
