Two of Japan's legendary actors star in this classic tale of greed and misfortune. Zatoichi the Blind Masseur (Katsu Shintaro) revisits a village he has fond memories of, only to find that much has changed. Draught and famine have caused the village to fall into the evil hands of the Kobotoke Clan, run by Eboshiya Yasuke's eldest son Masagoro. Eboshiya's other son has married into the respectable family that runs the Shogunate Mint. The respectful son is debasing the coinage, the father is hiding the loot, and the eldest son is trying to steal it from them both with the help of a wandering Yojimbo ( body guard) named Sasa Daisaku ( Toshiro Mifuni). Zatoichi's keen intuition leads him to the center of the conspiracy and ignites the family fued. Swords will clash, battles will rage, and blood will flow when "Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo".
