Zatoichi the Outlaw

You wander the countryside as Zatoichi, a blind masseur with peerless sword skills. The Yakuza enslave villagers to cover gambling debts, but another clan buys their freedom, raising the stakes. Yamamoto emphasizes Zatoichi's moral code, a stark contrast to the lawlessness of feudal Japan.
