Samurai Wolf

Ookaminosuke (Isao Natsuyagi) is a vagrant samurai who answers to no lord and wants only to protect a blind woman, Lady Chise (Junko Miyazono), from the men plotting against her. Her enemies send Sanaï Akizuki (Ryōhei Uchida), a swordsman with no scruples, and the fight between the two men turns personal. Hideo Gosha films the duels with a spare hand, giving each cut only what it needs.
