{"product_id":"zatoichi-20-zatoichi-meets-yojimbo-dvd","title":"Zatoichi 20 - Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo [DVD]","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThe collision of Japan's two most famous cinematic swordsmen--Shintarô Katsu's blind masseur, gambler, and rascally hero Ichi and Toshiro Mifune's unnamed wandering mercenary and scruffy antihero who goes by the appellation Yojimbo (which means, simply, bodyguard)--makes this one of the most riveting chapters in Zatoichi's long-running saga. Not quite friends and not really enemies, the rival swordsmen meet in a once-peaceful village caught between rival gangs, a swarm of government spies, and a fortune in stolen gold. Director Kihachi Okamoto gives Yojimbo a marvelous ambiguity that Mifune invests with a grubby sense of honor, whether growling and drinking and stirring things up or fearlessly strolling through the climactic gang war, dispatching attackers with a swipe and a grimace. But if the story belongs to Yojimbo, the film is Zatoichi's: his minor scams and clowning demeanor hide a reluctant warrior and a tragic hero. --Sean Axmaker\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000B1ODS\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0000B1ODS.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Toshir Mifune|Shintar Katsu|Ayako Wakao|Osamu Takizawa|Masakane Yonekura|Shin Kishida|Kanjuro Arashi|Toshiyuki Hosokawa|Shigeru Kyama|Minoru Terada|Hideo Sunazuka|Daigo Kusano|Kihachi Okamoto|Kan Shimosawa|Tetsuro Yoshida\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
