==Plot==<br />
19th Century Japan ... Zatoichi is a blind wanderer who makes a living by gambling and giving massages. But<br />
behind his humble facade, Zatoichi is a master swordsman, gifted with lightning-fast draw and strokes of<br />
breathtaking precision. Zatoichi discovers a remote mountain town at the mercy of the Ginzo gang. The ruthless<br />
Ginzo dispose of anyone who gets in their way, quicker than ever since they recruited mighty samurai ronin<br />
Hattori. In a gambling joint, Zatoichi and trustworthy young friend Shinkichi meet up with a couple of geishas. As<br />
dangerous as they are beautiful, Okinu and her sister Osei have come to town to avenge their parents' murder. With<br />
their only clue being the mysterious name Kuchinawa, the geisha sisters have lots of tricks up their sleeves.<br />
Sinister henchmen are soon hunting down Zatoichi. With his legendary cane sword at his side, Zatoichi's path is<br />
destined for many violent showdowns...<br />
