Item Description

In the Tora-San series, the title character is a tekiya, an itinerant merchant who sells inexpensive merchandise at festivals and is a persuasive talker. His relatives are all waiting for the day he finds a decent job, for although tekiya were common in the past, with Japan's affluence and the availability of more lucrative jobs, they have virtually disappeared. Tora-San is therefore a lonely figure who does not intend to give up his trade, and in the highly regulated and bureaucratized modern society he is probably the last free spirit left. At times when he can no longer bear the loneliness of traveling, he returns to his home in the Tokyo area to see his aunt and uncle and his younger sister and brother-in-law. There he always falls in love with a beauty, and after suffering a broken heart, he sets out travel again.
