A redux of the classic and long-running "Zatoichi" franchise, Ichi is a blind musician who happens to have incredible sword fighting skills. In her quest to find the man who brought her up, she encounters numerous swindlers, villains, and gangsters who try to take advantage of her disability, but she fights back using the sword hidden inside her walking stick.
