Anecdotes
This is the first Zatoichi film to use the blood spray practical effect. Coincidentally, the first Japanese film to ever make use of this effect was Akira Kurosawa's 'Sanjuro' (1962), which also featured actor Takashi Shimura.

Citations
Oshizu: Master Ichi, how long have you been blind?
Zatoichi: Since I was about eight.
Oshizu: Then you must remember a lot of things.
Zatoichi: Like what?
Oshizu: Like the color of plants.
Zatoichi: I can distinguish plants by touch, but the colors have all...
Oshizu: What?
Zatoichi: At first I remembered all the colors - green, red, and so forth. I told myself I had to remember them and tried hard not to forget. But they gradually faded away. All that's left now is darkness.

I don't think best but I do think casting, sword stunts and story construction all make this very accessible for the uninitiated. Despite being humorless and bloodier than earlier entries it exemplifies the sensational aspects of Zatoichi many people are first impressed by. The nuance of humor, appetite, and isolation made the series endure for me only upon deeper viewing.
