Scabbard Samurai (2011)

In the twilight of his life, Kanjuro Nomi, a samurai bearing nothing more than a scabbard, walks a path stained by a past that forced him to forsake his blade and renounce battle. With his sole beacon of hope, his daughter Tae, they traverse the uncertain roads of a life on the run. Marked as an outlaw for abandoning his lord, Kanjuro finds himself confronted with a challenge as formidable as any battlefield: The Thirty-Day Feat. He is tasked to bring a glimmer of joy back to a grief-stricken prince mourning the loss of his mother. The rules are simple yet brutal: succeed within thirty attempts, each a new day, and earn their freedom. Failure, however, carries a grim sentence of seppuku - the harrowing Japanese ritual suicide. The stage is set, and the odds seem insurmountable. Kanjuro and Tae find themselves in a different kind of duel, where wit and heart replace blades. Can the swordless samurai navigate this perilous terrain, secure their freedom, and protect the one he cherishes most? Embark on a journey with the Scabbard Samurai, where the real battle lies not in the flash of steel, but in the resilience of the human spirit.

Scabbard Samurai is an action movie featuring Pistol Takehara and directed by Hitoshi Matsumoto.
