Tamura Masakazu stars in a tale of betrayal and redemption during the early days of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Based on real historical characters, this is the tale of a master swordsman and his lifelong friendship with a 'Yari' (spear) expert, as he tries to better himself and leave a lasting legacy with his unique sword style. With a technique he developed to make his blade whistle, that sound is the harbinger of death to all who come before his deadly skill. This is a powerful motion picture that should not be missed.
