Synopsis

Kanemi Sanzaemon (Etsushi Toyokawa) is a skilled swordsman and the tending president of the Unasaka clan. Three years ago, he dealt with a case of misgovernment by murdering a former prostitute named Renko (Megumi Seki) who was abusing the influence she had gained by becoming the mistress of a powerful daimyo (Jun Murakami). However, he received a lenient punishment for his actions and was eventually allowed to return to his duties within the clan.

After the death of his wife (Naho Toda), Sanzaemon takes care of her niece, Satoo (Chizuru Ikewaki), but doesn’t realize she harbors a secret love for him. Meanwhile, a situation arises which will put Sanzaemon’s “bird-catching� sword fighting technique to the ultimate test.

'Hisshiken Torisashi' is due for release on the 10th July, 2010.
