Zatoichi's Revenge

Zatoichi (Shintarō Katsu), the blind masseur and swordsman, stops near the village of his old teacher, Hikonoichi, meaning only to pay a visit. He finds the teacher robbed and dead, and the daughter, Osayo (Mikiko Tsubouchi), shut away in a brothel. Akira Inoue sets a governor and a local boss against him, men who forge tax records to push farmers into debt, and Ichi is the one thing standing between those farmers' daughters and the brothel.
