Ichi

Ichi is a remake of films from 60's and 70's, and most recently, "Zatoichi" from 2003. In this version, Ichi, a blind woman, is searching for the man who raised her. She travels with her shamisen (a three-stringed Japanese guitar), using her exceptional sword skills to fight off yakuza and other villains on her journey.

On a quest to find the blind masseur who raised her as a child, sightless but exceptionally skilled swordswoman Ichi (Haruka Ayase) saves the life of a hapless samurai (Takao Osawa), which lands her in the middle of a violent feud between local villagers and a gang of bandits. Directed by Fumihiko Sori, this blood-soaked Japanese action movie features beautifully choreographed fight scenes and fine acting.
