This Old Road -KONOMICHI-

Composer Kōsaku Yamada returns to Japan after studying in Europe, brimming with new ideas. He is met by a conservative musical establishment skeptical of Western influences. Obsessed with creating authentically Japanese classical music, Yamada immerses himself in traditional melodies and instruments. His journey is a struggle between reverence for heritage and a thirst for innovation, between personal ambition and familial duty. He strives to find his unique voice in a world torn between past and future, crafting compositions meant to bridge two cultures, facing both admiration and isolation in his quest.
