Synopsis:

Raised by a pro-Shogun swordsman, Toranosuke is encouraged to go to Edo (Tokyo) and adapt
to the new age, even if it means going against the Shogun. Toranosuke winds up as a witness on
the margins of a whole series of important events of a period marked by civil war and social 
upheaval, and has friends on all sides of the conflict. He manages to rise above it all, but does not 
come out unscathed by it. The film itself doesn't condemn any of the participants, aside from 
those who behave the most cowardly and viciously, it simply sees the changes wrought upon 
Japan during that period as inevitable and the destinies of its characters irrevocable. It mourns 
the casualties but doesn't suggest they could have done anything differently. Only Toranosuke, 
who took his teacher's words to heart, is able to personify the new spirit of Japan.

This was the last film directed by Misumi and this one just might be his best.
THE LAST SAMURAI tells the story of the rebirth of a nation, as experienced on the ground by 
the common people, and is masterfully told and beautifully presented.
