Description:

JIROCHO FUJI - An all-star cast from Daiei Film Company has made "the Ultimate Jirocho Movie" about Legendary Yakuza Boss 'Shimizu no Jirocho' (1820-1893), the biggest Boss in the Tokaido area.
 
When Jirocho helps a young man avenge a brother's death he must set out on the road to avoid the police. He attempts to do only good deeds, and when some members of his gang burn down the home of an innocent farmer, they fear their boss's retribution and abandon the gang for a rival group of Yakuza.

Telling the story of Jirocho and his 28 henchmen are some of the greatest actors in Japanese movie history who play these valiant warriors as they travel the unruly path from a 'Fire Festival' in Akiba to the decisive battle by the Fujigawa River. In the simple language of such films, a good swordfight wherein everyone bad dies is something that can correct most injustices.
