What ICHI Is About

This hands the blind swordsman figure of Zatoichi to a woman. Ichi is a blind goze travelling village to village with a shamisen and a walking stick, with a blade hidden inside the stick. She is looking for the man who raised her as a child, and almost everyone she meets on the road either pities her or wants to harm her. Haruka Ayase carries the part with barely any dialogue. The fights are short and sharp; once the blade is out it ends in a stroke. No knowledge of the Zatoichi films is required.
