Plot Outline  : One of the best Zatoichi movies and certainly the
hardest to come by in the west.  Due to copywrite
entanglements this is the only Zatoichi movie not to
be officially released on DVD in the U.S. or U.K.
There is a DVD in the U.K. with the same title but
it is actually Zatoichi At Large mislabeled as
Zatoichi's Pilgrimage.
This episode of the Blind Swordsmans travels takes
Ichi to a small village where he befriends a nice
girl having problems with a yakuza boss (what a
surprise eh?) great humor and action insues.

Cast          : Shintaro Katsu ....  Zatoichi
Michiyo Ookusu ....  Okichi
Kunie Tanaka   ....  Man Speaks a lot
Hisashi Igawa  ....  Eigoro
Masao Mishima  ....  Gonbei
Jotaro Senba   ....  Bokasuri
Ryutaro Gomi   ....  Jyonenbo
Isao Yamagata  ....  Tohachi
Saburo Date    ....  Kagimatsu

Ripper's Notes:

For the Zatoichi freak and collector out there, this is the one
that continued to elude our collections.  Well not any more.  As
for source, the DVD is a Japanese R2 without English subtitles.
The subs came courtesy of an old beater VHS tape and a bit of work.

Enjoy the show!
