Zatoichi Goes to the Fire Festival
Directed by Kenji Misumi
Produced by Katsu Production, Dainichi-Eihai
A rousing samurai action film that balances stylized sword combat and colorful underground Edo encounters with genuine danger and a climactic conflagration.
The blind masseuse is targeted by the leader of a powerful yakuza group while also fending off a jealous husband bent on revenge. Zatoichi tours Edo's underground via a rousing onsen fight scene, gambling houses and the gender-bending character of Umeji, before a final, flame-filled conflagration.
