A historical drama centered on the legendary blind swordsman and masseur. Despite his gentle appearance and physical handicap, he is a master of the sword, often drawn into conflicts defending the oppressed against corrupt officials, yakuza gangs, and rogue samurai. This installment follows his wandering path as he dispenses justice, encountering both friendship and treachery along the way.
Misumi Kenji's Zatoichi: The Festival of Fire finds the famous blind swordsman becoming mixed up with a blind but powerful gangster. The town is a brutal place where women and children are regularly available to the highest bidder. Zatoichi takes a fancy to two local women, and this causes him to earn the ire of both two local men - one of them a Yakuza. (Perry Seibert, Rovi)
