Ikigai

A young boy is held back by self-doubt and wonders whether he will ever make his mark. Drawn from real life, his story follows him as he decides to share uta-sanshin, the traditional three-stringed instrument of Okinawa, with people far beyond his island. Along the way he learns to trust his own voice and to believe that his dream is worth the effort. The book celebrates persistence, cultural heritage and the courage it takes to begin.
