DramaHistory
A poor samurai and a rich businessman become unlikely friends through the game of Go. Yanagida is a masterless samurai who has lost his position because of a false accusation, but hasn't given up his honor. Genbei, an unscrupulous pawnbroker, ends up learning the value of honesty from Yanagida. Yanagida's daughter and Genbei's ward also start to grow close. However, during a night of celebration, Yanagida receives a shocking message summoning him to seek revenge – and Genbei loses a large amount of money, for which Yanagida is suspected.
Bushido is a visually striking modern samurai film that is both a tribute to the traditions of the historical jidaigeki genre and a step toward a grittier, less romanticized direction for it. It is a story of honor, revenge, pride – and friendship.
