Kiku, I sat through this entire video wondering how Carl Sagan was going to relate his story to crap.
Seven minutes and forty-nine seconds of my life gone.
Nice shakuhachi, though.

Legend has it that following that final battle between the Genji and the Heike, a number of the descendents of the Heike then made their way to the wilds of Shikoku's Iya valley, a hard to access area where they could escape any further persecution by the Genji.
