Zatoichi meets an infamous blind leader of a gangster organization as he contends with a gloomy ronin widower.
One of the best Zatoichi films if not the best. Epic. Plus Zatoichi battles Tetsuya Nakadei so if you are a lover of samurai films it is a must see. The blind villian is the best of all Zatoichi villians and is referred to as the "dark Lord". It wasn't just "Hidden Fortress," George Lucas must have had a cool uncle who force fed him chambara flicks!
