Zatoichi Goes to the Fire Festival

Directed by Kenji Misumi

Written by Yamada Takayuki, Kan Shimozawa, Shintarō Katsu

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.
