Description
The film opens directly after a ronin samurai has taken his own life. At his funeral his neighbours from his slum mourn his death. Here the film introduces another ronin samurai who lives in equal poverty. Having pawned his sword for food, the samurai searches for work but to no avail. The family’s only income comes from the little balloon children’s toys made by the wife.
