Miyamoto Musashi kanketsuhen: kettô Ganryûjima (original title)

Samurai III: Duel at Ganryu Island, an influential samurai narrative set in early 17th century Japan, directed by Hiroshi Inagaki, and starring the great Toshiro Mifune. This is the third film in a trilogy depicting the social and spiritual development of Japan’s most renowned swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi.
