Watch Zatoichi's Pilgrimage

Troubled by his violent past, Zatoichi begins a journey to a series of shrines for a dose of cleansing spirituality. But as always, trouble isn't far behind, and the blind swordsman soon finds himself defending a widow from the self-interest of ruthless thugs and townsfolk. Written by Kaneto Shindo, this fourteenth entry is a scathing attack on the upper classes and those who wield power.
