Zato Ichi Umi O Wataru - When
Zatoichi goes to Shikoku on a pilgrimage to visit the 88 shrines on that island,
he is forced against his will to take up the sword.
An expert in the crossbow
wants a match with the blind swordsman. How Ichi contends with this most
dangerous weapon is one of the highlights of this great film. Injured and needing help, Ichi must then protect the sister of
a man he killed... even though she has attacked him in the past. Shades of "HIGH
NOON" in this exciting film as the village is terroized by gangsters running
wild.
This is the missing link in the whole series. Get this episode
to complete the collection of all 26 Zatoichi's movies.
