aka KIBA OKAMINOSUKE
Directed by Hideo Gosha
A destitute ronin bearing the name of Kiba Okaminosuke wanders into a tiny, impoverished hamlet run by Ochise, a blind woman who owns a troubled messenger service--a business whose profits barely keep the meager town going. Delivering the corpses of two of her escorts he found on the road, Ochise explains her dire and desperate situation to the wandering samurai. Not long after, a duplicitous and conniving businessman named Nizaemon comes to Ochise with a new job to deliver 30,000 ryo to the magistrate's office in Imagawa. Nizaemon has designs on Ochise's business and this new plot leads him one step closer to crushing the staunch blind woman. Kiba agrees to help her with this enormous task. But Nizaemon isn't the only obstacle in the way as Akizuki Sanai, a formidable swordsman and a guileful brothel madam have plans of their own.
