Frequently asked questions
What is The Hidden Blade about? 
In 19th century Japan, a young samurai named Munezo Katagiri (Masatoshi Nagase) finds himself torn between his duty to his clan and his growing feelings for Kie (Takako Matsu), a woman from a lower social class who works as his housekeeper. As Munezo navigates the changing times and political tensions in his village, he is faced with a difficult decision when he is ordered to kill his dear friend Yaichiro Hazama (Yukiyoshi Ozawa), who has been accused of treason. As Munezo grapples with his moral dilemma, he learns a dangerous new technique called "the hidden blade" from his former teacher, a farmer named Min Tanaka (Min Tanaka). With this new skill, Munezo engages in a one-on-one battle with Yaichiro, using the technique to deliver a severe wound. However, Yaichiro attempts the same maneuver and is killed by foot soldiers hiding in the woods. Feeling dismayed and disillusioned by the corrupt system that has led to Yaichiro's death, Munezo approaches Hori (Ken Ogata), the clan's chief retainer, and avenges his friend's death by stabbing Hori in the heart with the same hidden blade technique. Munezo then buries the blade at Yaichiro's grave as a form of atonement and relinquishes his samurai status. Determined to start a new life, Munezo proposes marriage to Kie and she accepts. The film ends with the couple sitting on a hilltop, envisioning their future together as they hold hands. Despite the challenges they have faced, Munezo and Kie are hopeful about their future and the possibility of building a life together, free from the constraints of societal expectations.
