BUSHIDO

With Masachika Ichimura, Kaya Kiyohara

This reinvented samurai tale set in feudal Japan is steeped in history and the samurai code, and offers wrenching family sacrifice, dastardly betrayal, thrilling swordplay, and a look at the strategies of the chess-like Japanese board game of Go.  A widower samurai unjustly disgraced and ejected from his clan through the betrayal of a jealous rival lives in obscurity.  While eking out a living as a humble craftsman, his masterful skill at the game of Go brings him unwanted attention.  Once more the target of a false accusation, he is forced to defend his honor and save his daughter.  In Japanese with English subtitles.
