What Zatoichi at Large is
You wander Japan as a blind masseur, a kindly soul with a blade. You find a dying woman and deliver her child, but her last wish sends you searching for the father. The infant's aunt is then ensnared in a local extortion scheme. Mori's widescreen compositions show a poignant, wandering hero. One ponders the nature of obligation.
