Plot summary
Ogami Itto serves as the shogun's executioner in Edo-period Japan. The Yagyu clan, which runs the shogun's spies and assassins, frames him for disloyalty, and he becomes a wandering ronin. He pushes a cart that carries his three-year-old son, Daigoro, and a banner offering his sword for hire and his son for hire. A chamberlain of a rural clan engages him to kill the members of a conspiracy against his lord. The targets are staying in a remote mountain village known for its hot-spring pools.
