Summary of Zoku Zatôichi monogatari
Zatoichi (Shintaro Katsu) has settled back into a quiet life working as a masseur. His peace is not long, though, as his master begins to show signs of a disturbing mental ailment. Zatoichi attempts to hide his master's madness in order to save the lord's empire. Samurai seek the knowledge that Zatoichi holds, but the blind master swordsman easily defends himself and conceals the secret. When the villainous one-armed samurai (Tomisaburo Wakayama) seeks the knowledge, the secret and the blind masseur's life are both in jeopardy. Wakayama and Katsu, brothers in real life, meet in a fantastic final duel in this early black and white entry in the popular samurai film series.
