THE BLIND SWORDSMAN


Masseur Ichi & A Chest of Gold Zatoichi, the itinerant blind masseur-gambler, travels to Itakura Village to pay his respects at the grave site of a gambler he killed in a sword fight several years ago. Despite his efforts to avoid it, trouble always seems to find our mild-mannered hero. Serving as ample proof are the countless graves of his victims that dot the countryside.

In this adventure, Zatoichi is mistakenly accused as an accomplice in the robbery of gold meant to pay village taxes. He also discovers that a long-time friend, the benevolent yakuza chief, Boss Chuji, is also framed in the robbery. An intriguing game of cat and mouse ensues in proving the innocence of both men and recovering the stolen gold coins. The key role of the samurai killer, Jushiro, is played by Tomisaburo Wakayama who at the time went by the name Kenzaburo Joh. Interestingly, Wakayama is the real-life brother of Shintaro Katsu and later gains fame starring in the popular LONE WOLF samurai film series.
