Definitely influenced by the emerging "spaghetti" western of the early 60's. The music is reminiscent of the Italian movies, and the ending will remind you of another classic western, Shane (come back Shane!) Done with flair and a sense of humor. Shintaro Katsu is a pleasure to watch as the blind swordsman/masseuse Zatoichi (This is one of a long running series which ran from the early 60's thru the late 80's. In all almost 30 movies were made, all starring Shintaro Katsu)
