Kichizaburo, a samurai keeping peace in Edo, helps a young geisha Kozome avenge her
father's death. This action packed samurai classic features many of the great names in
samurai film history. The cast list reads like a veritable who's who of top actors in the Toei
Studio, including such mega-stars as: KATAOKA Chiezo, OTOMO Ryutaro, MISORA Hibari,
and OKAWA Hashizo. The last two names are still considered the most popular male and
female stars in Japanese movie history. This is a story of revenge and the problems that
surround attempting to gain justice in old Japan.
