Criterion Cover for Shintaro Katsus Zatoichi in Desperation Zatoichi has a strong noble legacy in the heart of japanese cinema. I have been a loyal fan of the series for the better part of a decade. Not only has it changed the way I treat blind people; you never know if they are hiding a cane sword. But I feel the character of Zatoichi is one of the greatest to grace cinema ever. Zatoichi in Desperation was directed by the man himself Shintaro Katsu, this is the 24th entry
