Adventures of Zatoichi
Directed by Kimiyoshi Yasuda
Produced by Daiei Film
A classical samurai adventure centered on a blind swordsman's moral entanglement with two women's family crises, balancing action with character-driven investigation.
Blind swordsman/masseuse Zatoichi befriends a young woman looking for her father, a village leader who has disappeared. As he helps her investigate the disappearance, Zatoichi also becomes involved with another young woman who is trying to help her brother, who has murdered someone at about the same time and place as the missing man was last seen.
