The Man Who Took on the World through Ballet

The man who showed the Japanese people what "world-class ballet" was like and brought global recognition to "Japanese ballet." Erika Sakurazawa depicts the brilliant life of Sasaki Tadatsugu, an unknown giant of the ballet world. What kind of man was this legendary impresario (showman) who achieved many great feats, including being the first Japanese to invite Milan's La Scala to Japan and leading his own ballet company to perform at some of the world's most prestigious opera houses? This masterpiece is bursting with the author's passion.
