Zatoichi - The Blind Swordsman 25 - Film Collection: Criterion UK (Blu-ray) (Import)

The colossally popular Zatoichi films make up the longest-running action series in Japanese history and created one of the screen?s great heroes: An itinerant blind masseur who also happens to be a lightning-fast swordsman.

The films that feature him are variously pulse pounding, hilarious, stirring and completely off-the-wall. This deluxe set features the string of twenty-five Zatoichi films made between 1962 and 1973.
