Zatoichi and the Chess Expert (English Subtitled)

Kenji Misumi, who directed the first installment of the Zatoichi series, returns with this tale in which the blind swordsman once again finds himself the protector of a child: a little girl pursued by both devious family members and bloodthirsty ruffians.

Further complicating his journey is a new acquaintance--a tremendously skilled chess player who has mysterious motivations and a dark past.
