A Bloody Spear on Mount Fuji

A young samurai, Sawaka Kojuro, travels on the Tokaido to Edo with his two servants, Genta and Gonpachi. Gonpachi has been told by Shojuro's mother to prevent his Master from drinking... The road is not safe. On the way, they meet a young orphan boy, Jiro, and many other travellers: A team of great directors, including Ozu Yasujiro, Shimizu Hiroshi and Ito Daisuke, assisted Uchida with his remarkable post-war comeback film. It's an affable samurai road movie with a focus on unglamorous characters, as a dim-witted samurai and his servants traverse the Tokaido highway.
