Even when cut down - Shinmi, who does not die, and Ryo Tatsu, the blind who does not fall. This popular series features the dynamic duo of Toshiro Mifune and Bunta Sugawara wreaking havoc. Set in a small coal mine in Kyushu, the birthplace of the evil monk Shinmi portrayed by Mifune. A tale of deceit and passion between the evil monk and a wicked nun. A fierce duel with the fateful rival Ryo Tatsu and a subtle friendship. And in the final showdown, Toshiro Mifune delivers a stunning swordplay performance unique to him.
