Following the death of his father, Kichiro must, against all odds, retrieve the unique Tachi sword that his forefathers had passed down from generation to generation before it was stolen by the vicious warlord, daimyo Jun'Ichi.

In a small village town, old Kenzo Arinaga, a revered swordsmith and ronin (masterless samurai) who fought many wars in the tumultuous Sengoku period, is on his deathbed. His only wish is for his son, Kichiro, to retrieve the very unique Tachi sword that his forefathers had passed down from generation to generation before it was stolen by the vicious warlord, daimyo Jun'Ichi Doiuchi. Just a few miles up in the hills overlooking Kichiro's village, lives a nameless African swordsman, an old one-eyed reclusive who is an acquaintance of old Kenzo, but whose identity is obscure.—Gethemia Pictures
