Zatoichi The Blind Swordsman is one of the best Samurai Cinema series ever created in Japan.
No good deed goes unpunished for Zatoichi (Katsu Shintaro), the blind masseur and master swordsman. After delivering the baby of a dying woman and fulfilling her last wish to take her infant to the town of Shiobara, he finds the father missing and must leave the child with his aunt, Oya-e. Immediately taking a liking to the young woman, he resolves to help her when her inn is turned into a brothel by Tetsugoro, the local yakuza boss. Things take a turn for the worse when Zatoichi fights to have the performers at the upcoming festival perform without a yakuza tax. Enraged by his audacity, Tetsugoro puts a price on the blind man's head. Meanwhile, the baby's father, Sataro, returns home, and a misunderstanding results in him blaming the masseur for his wife's death. As the danger on both sides escalates, Zatoichi's sword-cane will fly and the blood will flow into the streets!
