If you loved Zatoichi on the Road, try Adventures of Zatoichi

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Kimiyoshi Yasuda, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zatoichi on the Road, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Adventures of Zatoichi is

You wander feudal Japan as a sightless masseur, though your cane hides a deadly secret. Then a village boss vanishes. Ichi meets two sisters caught in the fallout. Yasuda's chambara installment features lower stakes than most, but still lingers due to its familial touchstones.
