Satsuma Biwa at Sengan-en

Satsuma Biwa is a lute like instrument that was used by the samurai of Satsuma to tell stories of bravery and the heroes of old. Yamashita-san is Japan&leading expert on the instrument. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The song he is performing here is called "Shiroyama", and it tells of the fateful last stand a group of samurai made against the modern Japanese government. This song was sampled and used in the track for this video!
