From director Fumihiko Sori, director of Ping Pong, comes this lavish, action-packed adventure that recasts the popular Zatoichi tales with a woman in the lead. As a wandering blind singer carrying little more than her three-stringed shamisen and a walking stick, Ichi may look vulnerable, but her formidable sword skills make her lethal when defending a peaceful village against gangsters.
