In this road movie, which follows the journey of the Seppuku Pistols from Japan to New York, we witness how a traditional Japanese percussion group preserves and updates the music of the Edo era, bringing it into the modern day. Their guerrilla approach, which leads them to appear and perform in unexpected places and at unexpected times, demonstrates that 'punk' is, in fact, an attitude, not an aesthetic. With over 20 members playing flutes, traditional string instruments, and wearing traditional clothing, the Seppuku Pistols maintain this ethos of transgression, embedding the rich cultural legacy of Japan into an increasingly uniformized contemporary society in a way that is ambiguously conservative and yet disruptive.
