Collection Descriptive Notes: 
Hamp, speaking Japanese, elicits adjectives and verbs from Hiranga Sada in Tomikawa, Hokkaido in Sept. 1981 (?). At Tokoro he interviews Fujiyama San, who also plays the tonkori (=samisen) at one point. From time to time he makes asides in English.
Collection Technical Notes: 
Tapes are the original field recordings, donated to the LLA in 1982. WAVE files are now converted to MP3s.
