Kanichiro Yoshimura is a samurai and family man who can no longer support his wife and children on the the low pay he receives from his small town clan. He is forced by the love for his family to leave for the city in search of higher pay to support them. In his search he joins a notorious clan, known as the Shinsengumi where he does as much as possible to get money. Looked at as a money grubber, Yoshimura proves his strength physically and mentally by being loyal to his honor.
A gripping, sad story that focuses on two samurai who are in the middle of Japans transition into a modern state, where there's no room for swords. A beautiful drama combined with fantastic swordplay and great music. A 10/10 samurai film.
