The hero of the picture is a samurai who performs not the most honorable and interesting work in his clan: he checks food for poison. Once he eats sashim from the wrong fish and casts blind. The honor and well -being of the family is at risk. A devoted wife calls for the help of one of the best warriors of the country - but what respectful man will want to be under the protection of a stronger one?
