Watch Zatoichi Goes to the Fire Festival

In the 21st film chronicling the adventures of Zatoichi, the blind swordsman must confront the cruel and callous Yakuza boss - also blind - who holds sway over the local populace. Along the way, Zatoichi must help a downcast ronin, avoid the amorous and murderous advances of a pimp, and defend himself while naked in a bathhouse. The swordplay is tempered by comedy, so viewers looking for laughs and action will be satisfied.
