Dagger Of Kamui [Blu-ray]

Dagger of Kamui Blu-ray presents Rintaro’s sweeping 1985 animated epic in a newly restored high-definition edition. Set during the final years of the Tokugawa shogunate, the film follows the orphaned Jiro, falsely accused of murdering his family and driven into exile after discovering a mysterious dagger. Trained in the ways of the shinobi, Jiro embarks on a perilous journey that draws him into political intrigue, Ainu legend, and a far-reaching conspiracy that spans continents. Produced by MADHOUSE and directed by the legendary Rintaro, this ambitious feudal odyssey blends historical drama, action, and mysticism into one of 1980s anime’s most expansive and cinematic adventures.
