Synopsis
Blind Zatoichi makes his living by gambling and giving massages. But behind his humble facade, Zatoichi is a master swordsman, gifted with lightning–fast draw and strokes of breathtaking precision. Zatoichi wanders into a town run by sinister gangs and a powerful samurai, and is soon destined for violent showdowns when he stumbles on two beautiful geishas avenging their parents‘ murder.
