Master Swordsman Hirate Miki - Duel in Tone

Zoushu Hirate (Ikko Huruya) was the acting master of Chibashusaku Dojo in the Hokushinitto style. His wife was dead and had drunk a lot every day. For the sake of money for alcohol, he chased Kanji Amakasa (Eiichiro Hunakoshi) who killed an office worker of Daikansho. While, Kanji hid in the house of Shigekura Sasagawa (Yosaburo Ito) in a town along the Tone River. Sasagawa family was looking for a good swordsman for the coming fight with the Iioka family.
