Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I'm searching for a Japanese TV series called Kogarashi Monjirō (木枯し紋次郎) that originally aired from 1972 to 1973. From what I've gathered, it has two seasons and a total of 38 episodes.

In English, the title is sometimes translated as "Monjirō of the Cold Wind" or "Monjirō of the Wintry North Wind." There was also a 1972 film version known as "Withered Tree, the Adventures of Monjiro."

I've hit a wall trying to find the full TV series. It doesn't seem to be available on any streaming platform in my country, and my searches for it have come up empty. The only option I've managed to find is a DVD box set that would cost at least $250 USD to import EACH box, and it's 5 or 6 in total, which is unfortunately way out of my budget.

Does anyone know where I might be able to watch or purchase this series digitally? I'm open to any suggestions, whether it's a niche streaming service, a place to buy it digitally, or any other legitimate source I might have missed.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
