Zatoichi in Desperation

Zatoichi (Shintarō Katsu) is a blind masseur and swordsman who wanders the roads, and he has just caused the death of an old woman by accident. Wanting to set it right, he tries to buy her daughter Kaede (Kyoko Yoshizawa) out of a brothel. Katsu directs and stars, and the film leaves him standing in the debt he took on, a blind man holding a bargain he paid for.
