A Film Guide: The Works of Hirokazu Koreeda The year is 1702, and young samurai Sozaemon Aoki has arrived in Edo to seek revenge against Jubei Kanazawa. Kanazawa is the man responsible for the death of Aoki's father, and now it's up to the grieving swordsman to settle the score. When Aoki begins teaching the children of Edo to read and write, however, his bloodlust slowly begins to subside as he cones to realize the true value of his useful place in society. Upon falling in love with the beautiful Osae, Aoki comes to realize that although the sword may be a powerful symbol of strength, allowing oneself to fall victim to its savage allure may not always be the best way to realizing ones true heroism.

Reviews
The movie is filled with amusing characters and dialogues. The music score is light and cheerful. I highly recommend this movie for people who like Samurai drama like Twilight Samurai and Hidden Blade, though I have to say, this is much lighter than those two. Don't expect any action from this movie.
