the tale of zatoichi (1962)

aka Blind swordsman: The Tale of Zatoichi. Zatôichi monogatari. Zatôichi 1.
"...to be a gangster is a foolish way to live."
Blind masseur Ichi (Shintarô Katsu), has transformed himself from put upon masseur into master swordsman Zatoichi, with a weakness for gambling. This weakness leads him into a town divided between two gang bosses, one of which has a samurai on board...
A fine introduction to the world of the blind swordsman, and the trouble that inevitably follows him.
