CHUSHINGURA: VENDETTA OF OBLIGATION
Chushingura - 1985 Remake
Directed by: Masuda Toshio
Cast: SATOMI Kotaro, TANBA Tetsuro, SAIGO Teruhiko, NATSUYAGI Isao
Japan's greatest story is told in a new and exciting way. This is the story of the 47 ronin of
the Ako clan who rose up to avenge the brutal death of their beloved master Asano Takumi-
no-kami after his failed attack on the vile Lord Kira led to his being ordered to commit ritual
suicide in a garden on the grounds of the shogun's palace.
The story has been told many
times, but never like this. Powerful swordfighting highlights the carrying out of the Vendetta
of Obligation against a snowy backdrop of death!
