Original Story by: SASAZAWA Saho
Directed by: NAKAJIMA Sadao With no allegiance to any gangland boss and wandering throughout Japan in a sedge hat with a long toothpick dangling from his lips, Kogarashi Monjiro has long been a major figure in Japanese folklore. This masterful swordsman has a rich history dating back to his childhood when he was allowed to live because it was the shrine festival when killing is forbidden. This full length movie portrayal by Sugawara Bunta is far superior to the watered down television version with brutal bloody violence and a gripping tale of adventure, betrayal, romance and ultimately a spectacular finale.
