If you loved Zatoichi the Fugitive, try Zatoichi's Vengeance

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 Tokuzō Tanaka, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zatoichi the Fugitive, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Zatoichi's Vengeance is

You travel as a blind swordsman, and then a dying man's request sets you on a new path, the director frames this story in 1960s Japan.
