Directed by:Kazuo IkehiroFrom the pen of the foremost writer of historical samurai novels, Shiba Ryotaro, comes the tale of Sadohachi, Japan’s #1 thief during the era of the downfall of the Tokugawa shogunate. Operating on his own, Sadohachi is drawn into the battles between the “Wolves of Mibu” (Shinsengumi) and the Kinno royalists seeking to restore power to the emperor. Arrested without proof, Sadohachi’s life is spared by the Osaka magistrate who sends him to Kyoto to take care of two amateur thieves where they operate a noodle shop in the Mibu district. Unwittingly drawn into the conflict after witnessing the bloodshed in person Sadohachi seeks revenge against the ronin who framed him! A gripping story with a spectacular conclusion!
