Synopsis

Randomly of its peregrinations, Zatoïchi is found to pass close to Kasama, its native village which it has left for twenty years. Nostalgia pushes it to cross the doors of the village which, with its great surprise, resounds of clamors of welcome. It is not him the cause of this effervescence, but Shinbei, old of the village, returned to pay the debts of the ruined peasants. However, the generosity of the commercial rich person Shinbei, who is also the friend of childhood of Zatoïchi, hides a villainous plan: the control of the local economy, with the assistance of a clan yakuza and of the corrupted governor. And Zatoïchi will have all the sorrows of the world to convince the credulous peasants of the true intentions of their “benefactor”.
