The Last Takajo

Hidetoshi Matsubara lives a solitary life in the mountains of Tōhoku, Japan, where he is the last remaining tajako, or hawk master, in the area. Now 71 years old, Matsubara has lived in the snow-capped mountains of his home for the past 50 years, walking and hunting in harmony with his hawks. “The Last Takajo” read by Kosuke Fujikura and written by Hironori Taniyama.
